I’m certainly torn over the lx 4 & cv 4. The appeal of the Warwick cv is it’s a jazz type bass but without the offset body to contend with. I've always been a Fender guy yet the jazz bass body doesn’t really work for me. The same with USA Precision’s, everything’s great apart from the neck profile which is a little larger than I prefer, I did look around for a used US Jazz bass neck but ultimately they are either overpriced or few and far between. Because of this I’ve started looking elsewhere to see who else caters for this area. I also saw G&L did the JB-2 which looks to be the ticket yet the Us versions again are quite uncommon too and never in Europe or the uk plus I don’t fancy importing one either. The Lx took my fancy even though it’s a PJ configuration rather than JJ as I’ve seen a finish I really like in the LX range so was after some opinions.

I’m looking at buying a new Warwick GPS Streamer LX 4, has anyone else in the basschat parish owned one? Any comments/experience on what they’re like?

I am tempted to say bugger it and buy a used Warwick instead 😂

Ooo is there? Is it on here or on talkbass?

Exactly this but in a right handed context. I’m keeping an eye for on Thomanns stockist dates then do a google search to see if anyone has bought one before I pull the trigger.

So I’ve seen Sadowsky are releasing and what I call their attempt at a Lakland Skyline range, has anyone managed to play one or even buy one? They look interesting and something that’d be up my street, granted the headstock logo is a little to be desired but I have heard this is due to a trademark issue that Roger is currently fighting to get back. What do you guys think?

I meant what difference does it make to the string itself? Higher tension?

What’s the difference between hex core and round core?

Just checked you guys out, like it. What are you doing now Lozz?

Simple as I only have one!

What band are you in Lozz?

Many thanks, the Ashdown is a beast!

Finally found a black pickguard at a reasonable price and a huge improvement too!

Hi everyone, I'm after some string recommendations, I tune in D Standard these days and unfortunately Warwick don’t cater for bass players who require a larger gauge than 105-45 which is a shame as they retain their freshness for a good while. I’ve currently got rotosound roundwound nickels 110-50 but as you know they die and loose their zing as soon as you look at them. Thanks

They are great, this is my second RM610 sold the first when I moved to New Zealand, couldn’t turn down the b stock one on Ashdowns site. I had an ABM410 and there was no difference in the weight.

Thanks for all the nice comments, the rm610 cab works great with the CTM 100 head and the p bass sounds thunderous!

The iPhone recording doesn’t do it justice as it cuts all the bass and low mids off it.

Many thanks, it’ll certainly do the job and be well looked after!! Just need somewhere to crank it now...about 3am should do it 😉

After many questions and asking a couple fellow members for recordings/sound samples of the bass head I was after.(Thanks @Merton @stewblack) I’ve finally made a purchase, extra thanks to @Merton for selling me his head and putting up with one of my senior idiotic moments!! This place is such a wealth of help and it reinstates my faith that decent people still exist on this planet! Here is my new setup, I am beyond chuffed with it!! Enough of the talking, here’s a photo and a brief iPhone tone test.....enjoy!! (Excuse the sloppy playing, it’s been a long day) IMG_0016.mov

I wonder if the burglar requested an 'Encore' and as it happens that's what his bass was?

Bugger, these would've been just the ticket to restore my late Grandfathers bass.
