King Tut

I've no experience of the B3, but I use a B1on as my regular gigging fx unit. I've tried many different units but found this one to be the most convenient. The plastic case is not an issue. Mine gets stomped on and abused regularly. The effects sound great, it's versatile, will run off batteries for festies etc and fits in the front pocket of my gig bag. As a singing bass player, I haven't got the concentration to use lots of different sounds on a song, but I do have it set up so that if I need to I can change from clean to distortion mid song etc. only shortcoming in my opinion is lack of a Di.

Cheers Ghost Bass. Ordered the non stacked and gonna have an extra hole routed for the jack. Gonna get a seafood green nitro refinish inc headstock while I'm at it :-)

Just ordered the flock from the link Japan Axe posted to fit in my favourite Jazz . . . .

I sold a MM Sterling to Chris today. He's been on the site for a while now but doesn't post much and has no feedback. We arranged to meet partway for a cash deal. Communication was good and meeting and transaction went ahead as planned. A nice bloke and good to do business with.

Thanks JapanAxe

Absolutely loving my new Sandberg VT and really impressed with the pre . . . . Particularly the ability to go passive and retain tone control if I wish. Does anyone know if the preamp is available from anywhere as a separate unit so I could mod one of my Jazz basses to the same spec?

Sandberg . . . Either a VM or TM . . . . So that's equivalent to P/MM or J/MM. The MM pickup splits into a J and they will go fully passive inc tone control in addition to the really musical active pre. Under a grand second hand or imported.

I just added a second Eden EX112 to my set up. I had one cab for small gigs and heard that two could sound awesome. Gigged it on Saturday and amazed. This was with a GK500 head.

Agree totally LW. Not saying one's right or wrong. Was purely canvassing for opinion on whether the Streamer was as different as the other Warwicks. Trying one out soon answered that and for ME it is an influencing factor. Shame cos I love the look, quality and sound of Warwicks.

Goonieman and Marvin hit the nail on the head for me . . . . . It's about the first fret feeling farther away. This is because the the length of the top horn comes to about level with the 14th fret, whereas on a fender, it's about level with the 12th thus pushing the nut further away on the Warwicks. This is mebbe a plus if you play lots up the dusty end, but of you're used to Fenders, and you don't want to keep looking at the neck, then it can be off putting. I wasn't sure if Streamers were the same so I asked the question here. Anyway I tried a streamer out at bass direct today. Sounded and played fab but sat on the strap all wrong for me, so I pulled the trigger on a lovely Sandberg Cali VT. well pleased, she's a beaut! Ooh and I added a second Eden EX112 to go with the one I've currently got. Can't wait to gig em tonight :-)

Got my eye on a couple of streamers on here. I'm a singing bass player and used to Jazzes, so it's important to me that a bass hangs right so I know where I'm going with my hands when I'm not looking . . . Oooer! Thumbs are no good for me as they push the neck out too far to the left. I've had a couple of Corvette's but that top horn seems to push the top of the body forward away from me, so moved them on. Never tried a Streamer . . . How do they compare to a Jazz. Anyone tried a Streamer Pro M? Does that single split pickup give an array of tones or is it limited?

Great basses. I just dug mine out. Must sort the electrics soi can take it out as my back up :-)
