Check out the VT Bass and DHA VT1! Should be able to find both for well under £100 used.

Yes thanks - although I don't think I'm going to buy one without playing one first. It's hard to tell for sure from clips but I think the BB is still the bass for me!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Is anybody out there with one if these able to record some clips? Particularly interested to hear how it sounds played aggressively and how close it can get to Precision territory on the neck pickup!

Musofinder and Partysounds also!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1379360898' post='2211835'] Dunno about most, within certain genres maybe. Even the SVT is fairly clean up until its cranked into drive. Loads of bass is done straight to desk, can't really do much cleaner than that. Like Motown. [/quote] A lot of Motown had quite overdriven bass, from driving the desk inputs too hard! Check out Bernadette for example.

I was after a BB1025X but now I'm thinking I'll keep my BB415 and perhaps get the 5 string version of this TRB instead! Didn't realise these were a new range.

Oh, and if you get it right make sure you post your own YouTube video! That girl's video was spotted by Jamiroquai and they flew her out to meet the band and play with them live on stage during their tour. Also Stuart Zender recently gave her one of his Warwick signature basses for free!

I decided to tackle the same song while back, took me a few days to nail it! I searched all over the web site the best way to play bouncing disco octaves but in the end came up with my own way. Easiest method at first was the low note with the thumb, followed by middle, index. If we number the fingers starting with the thumb at 0, it goes: 0 2-1, 0 2-1... However you don't get a good attack from the thumb stroke. It looks like that girl plays it with two fingers only, which involves a lot off string skipping. Either: 1 1-2, 1 1-2... Or: 1 2-1, 1 2-1... I play it this way, which is apparently uncommon yet feels most natural to me since all the fingers roll off each other: 1 3-2, 1 3-2 And the variation: 1 3-2, 1 3, 1 3-2, 1 3...

The VT usually suffers from the exact opposite problem, sound like something is up.

I can attest to the T40 sounding incredible through this amp!

You can make the expression control the pitch, see page 49 here for the options: http://www.zoom.co.jp/download/E_B3.pdf

For the price I don't think you can go far wrong. It's only a lump of metal after all! 17mm spacing on that particular cheap one though - yours is probably 18/19mm stock.

If the force was the same on each string and the neck thinner on one side than the other, then it should twist slightly unless the neck was strengthened especially to compensate for it (e.g. by moving the truss rod slightly towards the thinner end, or using a dual truss rod). But perhaps it's just by such a small amount it's inperceptible to the naked eye.

I can't help thinking that the neck would twist slightly under string tension with an asymmetric design?

Yamaha BB2025X. Still.
