Standard E and Standard Eb in the Same Set? - How Would You Do It?
warwickhunt replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
Not forgetting any song that might include a drone note on an open string; I regularly play rock/pop songs that rely on a drone. -
Standard E and Standard Eb in the Same Set? - How Would You Do It?
warwickhunt replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
How does the guitarist manage this? Personally if 90% of songs are played as per recorded but the guitar/bass tuned down a 1/2 step (i.e. bass player in the original band plays in the key of G, you play your G but it will sound F#), I'd go with that and then play the 2 or 3 other songs up a semitone (original is G but you are hearing F# when fingering G and they actually want G... play G# and associated notes). That sounds harder to explain than it is to do! LOL -
I've got a pup fixed (removable in 30 seconds) to my DB which NEVER sees the light of day, you're more than welcome to take it off/away and play with it for a day/week/month... Coffee always on stand by.

FS: Behringer X32 Rack & S16
warwickhunt replied to Higgie's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Any thoughts on selling the X32 by itself? -
Musician owned strings with CoA. A new one on me
warwickhunt replied to Clarky's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Hmmmm. In what way does that CoA differentiate between 'that' set of strings and the other 42 packs of identical strings he has in his possession? There's a mug born every day but equally there's a chancer born every week! -
Bloody great venue/crowd if that is how it is on any other week.

Superb gig at The Bungalow in Paisley (Glasgow) for INXS UK. Great venue, staff who know their stuff (esp the engineer SJ) and 'fans' who were absolutely busting it. WhatsApp Video 2025-03-16 at 12.05.04.mp4

You can buy a footswitch that when depressed cuts the vocal mic to FOH but can still transmit to all/any IE. Not sure what you call them but our band leader had one; he could step on the switch mid song and let us know if we were going to change next song etc.
-
As @Chienmortbb says you can select a preset and then open it and see what the EQ shape etc is doing. There's generally nothing radical, just obvious cuts/boosts for the given timbre of instrument or voice.

The overall outline is the same... Warwick copied it! I do find that 80's Streamers are slimmer and whenever I play a Spector it feels like a Warwick that has eaten a few pies. <edit> Reread and I see that you mean the bodies ARE the similarity. I find that the Warwick MEC are a bit punchier but tighter / defined than Spector; the Spector Tonepump can go 'BIG' but sometimes a bit too overpowering.
-
TBH I've never tried flat EQ on my CQ12, I just used the various presets and they've been pretty close to what is needed. I did need to fiddle quite a bit with an acoustic guitar preset as it was far too nasal but that was likely down to that particular electro-acoustic onboard preamp.
-
Necks are generally fuller than many basses, the Doug Wimbish model is slimmed down. I've owned US and Czech basses and for the money I'd not buy a USA over a Czech bass; preamp can be changed which is essentially the main difference (nicer figured woods on USA). The Warwick Streamer Stage I is a very similar bass, have you considered trying them both?

TC RS210 x2 Rebelstack cabs - *SOLD*

On hold. -
Ditto! I have to say that my Creme Lionel VS4 (active/passive) is a superb bass and when I was exclusively playing shorties it ousted my Acinonyx, Longhorn, Hofner Club and JMJ Mustang basses. I'm finding however that I've reverted back to my long scale Streamer or regular Sandberg VS for gigs and none of my shorties are getting any use, so likely time to move some on... will I still keep the Lionel 'just in case'! LOL
