King Tut

I use a digitech BSW on setting 2 - kind of an envolope follower with an octave down. I think it tracks pretty well and the sound is great - but it's not hugely versatile. Just my ha'penneth.

Before pimping, I's personally try to set the bass up to make the most of what you've got - ie adjusting the pickup height and angle. I've owned a few warwicks with MEC electrics and been pretty happy with them! Did you buy the bass new? It's possible that the B string is from a different set, consequently sounding different - just a thought!

What 'don't' you like about the pups and pre that are in it?

Most of the bands in Milton Keynes inc us have cancelled tonight - the snow is terrible here :-(

Thanks for this thread. Playing in a Floyd tribute I've got most of the sound right but playing fingerstyle - some of the songs haven't had the right attack. We recently played a gig where the keyboard player was having trouble picking up the tempo on 'sheep' so at the next gig i played it with a plec to make the bass cut through more - what a revelation! I'm following this thread with interest now - and learning loads - thanks peeps!

The guy is called Dave Wilson, he is a brilliant, I cant recommend him enough and wouldnt trust an instrument to anyone else really.

Cheers Dave[/quote] Actually the front of the headstock should be darker than the rest - apparently they used a different lacquerfor the front - something to do with chemical reaction with the decal - consequently the front goes a lot darker than the rest. As for 'The' PF tribute band - I think you'll find that's mine . . . . 'This One's Pink' LOL Something old . . . .

On the Comfortably Numb vid he's playing a Jap strat that he bought off here (the smelly black refin if anyone remembers) that he's finished himself in (I think) Peugeot red LOL! Anyroadup - nice job on the bass - looks lovely! Roger, sorry Tony, sorry Guy . . . . . . Col

Function band . . . . plug in baby . . . . . . does not compute. Wish i had some of your functions mate LOL!

Sold Trev my thumb. We had a couple of false starts that were totally out of Trev's control - however he kept me fully informed all the time. When we finally got together everything went fine. Trev's a smashing bloke and a good guy to deal with - recommended!
