[quote name='chris_b' post='298498' date='Oct 3 2008, 12:12 PM']Try and hear some Bartolinis. I don't have experience of the newer pickups but I have the older versions on 2 of my basses and they sound huge, lots of fat bass oomph![/quote] yeah have to agree with you as i got old bartolinis on my thumb six and they blow all my other pickups away. on my cort i got the bartolini mk1s (i know they are a litle sub standard bartolinis ) but i am well mpressed with them. i got mec on my dolphin theyare nice but my lace sensors on my jazz seem a bit weak. ta for comments just bought some lemon oil!!!! zig.

[quote name='clauster' post='298131' date='Oct 2 2008, 11:07 PM']I use lemon oil on my Warwick's neck every time I change strings and in between too if I've had a particularly sweaty session.[/quote] cool dude gather just plain lemon oil on the neck rub it in then clean it off? cheers zig.

[quote name='alembic1989' post='285127' date='Sep 16 2008, 03:19 PM']Thanks for the info guys.[/quote] got my A4 last night ,guy hadnt played it for 12 months, tuned it and at 12th fret played it bloody awesome man, the guy didnt wana let it go i dont hink.

hey man i had an a6 and it was gorgeous the only trouble was the neck was a tad bent, and the brigde was a nghtmare. the new a6s are fitted with a better brigde, i just bought a a4 off ebay so ill let you know how it plays friday. the cort i had was well balanced and gorgeous looking. the balnce was better than my thumb six. i sold it and the geezer was well chuffed with t as he srted the neck out watch this thread!!!

recently joined a band with a drummer that plays the snare with the heavey end of the stick and the two guitarists that Qoute " dont turn up too loud". sufered severe ear damage boys bit scared of going to docs and im a stonemason so use grinders all day!!!!Just had some moulded ear plugs and ther are the absolute nuts I WISHED I DONE IT YEARS AGO> the BEST Instrument ive ever bought as without my ears im Fu-----!. Yeah the band take the piss but i dont care . Dont but a new bass or a cab get ear plugs made, (tried the yellow ones and er20s and the moulded ones jst blow them all way!!!!!!! good luck.

used black label for ages they are nice man, just had two asses set up by the gallery and they put la bella strings on both ther are nice.

good questio about cort it was an a6 and was described as an artisan bass , but cant see how it was a tanglewood as it had cort on the headstck. well i just got a a4 so hope its ok !!!!! fingers and othe things crossed boys!!!!

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='279364' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:54 PM']Surprised you had issues with one before, all Corts I have ever played have been good quality. yeah think it was de-stung for ages , and maybe should have had it set up by a pro cheers for advice[/quote]

hi guys need some quick advice. i bought a a6 off ebay and the neck was twisted and it had the horrible bridge that i could never set up. and the two flamed body wings were a little mismacthed. so i sold it :-( does anyone know what the new ones are like with the new easier bridge? looking to get a four string as i played my thunmb six at weekend and dont think anytings gonna macth it!! kindest rgerds ziggy/john.

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='266003' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:09 AM']Totally agree. You may sound like you playing whatever bass, but the basses will all sound like whatever they are.[/quote] yeah had rehersals last night took my full trace stack, 5 string warwick dolphin, 4 string usa jazz bass plus :-( this bass just sounded naff next to my warwick. so gonna learn the funk set for sunday on my 5 warwick and contemplate selling/adding set of jazz bartolinis to my jazz.!

got to disagree with first post, this forum is the nuts i put all my 3 basses up for sale had a little interest but nothing for sure , and also i am attached to them sad i know so its difficult to do deals. the feedback on this forum is second to none . people change their mind but this forum is the MOST fairest way to do buisness. example no 1= there is a bass on ebay for £1200 i checked the guys feed back and he bought it a few months ago for £875 ok so people make money on stuff but here i could probabaly get the bass for what he paid for it. example no 2= reserve not met etc, this is a bit of a con compared to this site as here people when they sell basss are also asking what peolpe think is a fait price at the same time, and people give back what they think is fair, we all knoiw what basses are worth but maybe im sad in saying that basses and their owners seem to be a bit more attahed. so mate go somewhere else and get what you want. wicked site!!!!!

yeah true man, im always comented on at gigs how lovely the 5 looks and with the piezo it sounds awesome, just getting pressure from the missus! about selling one before i buy another!!! shame it dont work with her with shoes and bags eh! but nothings movina atthe moment so i coulndt sell it anyway. i bought it for £810.00!! of a getleman from ebay so am begrugded to get rid of it. welll see eh!!

hi everyone, youve prob seen my posts on here, i sem o have 3 decent basses jazz 4 usa plus. warwick sn 5 string dolphin early thumb 6. on my recent for sale post i noticed that the jazz and the thumb got interest and the dolphin sn didnt, was cotemplating keeping the 4 and the 6 nd maybe changing the 5. are mike lull basses the nuts and will it blow my 5 away? many thanks ziggy.
