Newtone strings for me. They'll do startard thickness strings to whatever tuning you like

It's a bit of an odd one out in this thread but it's still an ACG [sharedmedia=core:attachments:89447] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:34313]

[quote name='Stag' timestamp='1327004852' post='1505181'] Im an Ampeg lover and always have been, but was seriously impressed with Charic's TC rig at the East Anglia BB last year. Masses of volume... Obviously totally different to an Ampeg but i liked it a lot. Some nice features on the RH like settings memory etc, tuner, tube tone blah blah... And as you say, very light. [/quote] Got two cabs now... it's a fair bit different

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1327066799' post='1505944'] go back far enough and they were all handmade. [/quote] It also raises an interesting question, has anyone here ever had a duff warwick? I've never played one I didn't think was excellent quality, there were I couple I didn't get on with but the Quality was still there..

You should have refused to pay him in full, maybe give a token amount for the bass setup but I would not have paid for a full lesson. Stick with BC'ers as tutors

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1327007032' post='1505234'] Wrong notes galore. [/quote] Jazz version

Well I doubt they would price it that high if it didn't work out financially.

[quote name='tremblap' timestamp='1327050418' post='1505560'] I plan to go with my Eden wt400 and my TC RH 450, as well as my Fender Bassmand 100... and will certainly try anything I find there. I am looking for a complement to the first two and the Fender is certainly not powerful enough... [/quote] Very interested in RH450 vs Matamp comparison!

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1327052398' post='1505584'] Blimey!!! I saw the price of a new Thumb! It's now more expensive that my MTD 535!!! I bought mine in 2002 when it retailed for £2050. It's now retailing at £2700!!! Are you serious...really?? How did a stock model gain £650 in 10yrs? [/quote] Because people will pay it.

Just a thought Any off a squire players willing to upload a vid to show just how close it can get in sounds? After looking for similar on the tube I've not really found any good examples yet

Line6 BassPodXt then Ashdown Perfect10 Then multiple others lol

IMHO Warwick build quality is way up there. I guess it's the price you pay for it though...

Spot the difference

[quote name='ChristopherGilbert' timestamp='1326897918' post='1503377'] Just thought i'd chip in, even though you've 'resolved' the problem. My previous bass, Ibanez BTB 475 had a similar problem. The neck pickup was fine but the bridge one, while sounding normal, had a buzzing sound when touching anything metal on the bass. So basically, if I had the bridge pickup set to full, touching the strings caused a buzz. I sent mine off for repair 3 times (and wasn't fixed on all 3 occasions). Needless to say, they have a '3 strikes and you're out' policy and i'm currently waiting for a replacement one to arrive in my hands. [/quote] That sounds like it should just be the earthing

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1326889257' post='1503210'] Jesus. What a total waste of my time that was. And what an irritating bastard. [/quote] Saved me typing the same

Could you enquire about just sending the pickup back?

Here's hoping it isn't second hand... might be a little more like a snickers. Nuts an all

May also be worth checking out Basschats own cab builder Barefaced EAD They both get stonking reviews

Yeah but if we keep moving you from one basschatters house to the next he'll never find you... We can do this!

Try the lot! You should also do a free give away where I'm the winner. They'd like the initiative you took

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1326786936' post='1501804'] I'm now in bed re-watching Sherlock, that's pretty dull. [/quote] Depends what he's doing in your bed I suppose..

No matter what happens pics are required

There was a picture on here of a well gigged "white" bass before the smoking ban. It was quite.... something

Bongo meets jazz? I like it Although I'm unsure about the bottom horn
