warwickhunt

Sadly wrong end of the country as I'd like to have given this a looking at.

It is actually very appealing in the flesh as there is no ugly pick-up to spoil the aesthetics!

I'm due to pop over to yours this week for those Warwick parts; at that price (and weight) it'd be daft for me not to have a look at this. Speak soon.

Sold pending

Thanks for the kind words people. Sorry I should have mentioned in the thread that the nut width is 40mm or 1 + 9/16ths in old measures! Nice and slim but rock solid stable (thats carbon for you). I should add that the carbon neck feels no different under the hand than any other finished neck.

No longer on hold and available again!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1459441432' post='3016645'] That's a fabulous picture John!! GLWTS [/quote] Wish I could claim it as my own but it's our very own WoT who wanted to give it a try during a local BassBash!

On hold pending.

I've had a few queries, which might be easier to answer here. [b]Controls[/b] - Vol/Bass/Treble/Piezo vol. The piezo which I think they call 'Icetone' can be added to the Lightwave but not used in isolation. [b]Tone[/b] - If you are using a Precision or Jazz as tonal benchmark then it 'probably' has more leaning to the J than the P... BUT it has it's own tone which is oddly similar to the Zon Sonus I had with a pair of Bart J pups. I have to say that the sustain and harmonic content are what lift it above comparing it to other basses. [b]Neck dimensions[/b] - slim, defo more akin to a J or early Warwick. If you like a big clubby neck this is no good.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1459424002' post='3016367'] Do different strings make any difference to the tone? I'm guessing gauge would make more difference than material? [/quote] You know that's an interesting point! I've swapped 'normal' strings on the bass and I can't for the life of me think that I've ever made note of differences in tone. I suppose in theory the sensor tracks the string movement and each type of string will have it's own inherent qualities so they will sound different but I would likewise think that old strings shouldn't sound different to new strings... if a buyer wants to play, I've a few sets of used but as new strings (inc flats), which you can experiment with.

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1459416930' post='3016267'] Been thinking about one of these lately, il be more than a bit tempted if any of the stuff i have up sells and this is still here... [/quote] Just give me a shout if you want info/details.

[url="http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/Aguilar_zpsnytzmmdf.jpg.html"][/url] The bass and cabs are NOT for sale so please don't ask. Excellent condition, not long since serviced. Comes with Boschma case. 750 watt @ 4 ohm (975w @ 2 ohms which it will do... but your ears will bleed) with huge amounts of headroom. Low on fancy bells and whistles, you don't get presets or built in tuners BUT you do get loads of 'tone'! Genuinely sorry but I'm not going to courier to anybody/anywhere (not chancing damage) but I'd imagine if you want to own one of these you'd come and collect any way (NE England) OR there is a slim chance I'm travelling to the Midlands during the next week or so. [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/pdf/support_manuals_db750.pdf"]http://www.aguilaram...nuals_db750.pdf[/url] [size=4][b]Features:[/b][/size] [b]Active/Passive inputs:[/b] Start by using the passive input. If your bass’s output distorts the input section, switch to the active position. In the active input, a 10 db pad in the signal path will remedy the situation. [b]Volume pot:[/b] This pot controls the gain of the preamp section. Clean sounds are usually achieved by setting the input gain around 11 or 12 o’clock. A little bit of musical distortion will occur if set past one or two o’clock. [b]Equalization:[/b] [b]Treble:[/b] Tube driven shelving type, boosts up to 12 db. The center frequency is set at 4 kHz. [b]Bass:[/b] Tube driven shelving type, boosts up to 12 db. The center frequency is set at 40 Hz. [b]Midrange:[/b] Tube driven shelving centered at 400 Hz. [b]Deep Switch:[/b] The deep switch adds 3db of broadband boost at 30 Hz. [b]Bright Switch:[/b] This switch is passive RC pre-emphasis circuit at 5-7 kHz. The bright switch will add a brighter timbre to the entire range of your bass. [b]Effects Loop:[/b] The Send pot is push/pull for line or instrument level. This allows you to use a studio effects unit (line level) or a stomp box (requires instrument level) in the FX loop. Adjust the amount of send so as to get maximum performance from your effects unit. The parallel/series pot is push/pull for parallel or series operation. In the parallel mode affected signals are mixed to the dry sound. In series mode the entire sound of your bass is processed by the effects in the loop. The amount of effects can be adjusted with the return pot. If you pull the return pot out for series operation without any effects plugged in the loop, the loop will be open and no sound will result. [b]Master Output Control:[/b] This pot controls the output level to your power amp. [b]XLR Balanced Output:[/b] Use the –30dB pre-eq setting in a concert situation where the house mixer is taking a signal into the house-mixing console. The house mixer is now getting his feed after the preamp stage, but can use appropriate eq for the venue. The eq on stage will still be controlled by your settings. If the house mixer wants your eq settings included in the mix, set the control to –30 post eq. The – 30 level is correct output level for going into a preamp on a mixer. Our balanced output uses the highest quality Jensen output transformer. If you hear any ground noise, change the position of the ground lift switch under the output [b]OUTPUT INTERFACES:[/b] [b]Rear Panel:[/b] [b]Speakon Connectors:[/b] Two speakon connectors are provided. Use 12 gauge or larger speaker cable for proper connections. [b]FX Send:[/b] Connect the input of your effects unit to this output. [b]FX Return:[/b] Connect the output of your effects unit to this input. [b]Footswitch:[/b] Use the Aguilar footswitch to mute the signal for silent tuning (not supplied). [b]Preamp out:[/b] Full range preamp output allows you to run into another poweramp in conjunction with your DB750. [b]Poweramp in:[/b] The DB750 can be used as a stand alone poweramp or for slaving two DB750s together. [b]Tuner out:[/b] A ¼ inch jack that sends a signal to your tuner.

You can use any strings on the bass inc nylon as there are no magnetic properties involved; setting up the system for new gauges or materials is a doddle, info available online but I'll supply a print out of factory instructions.
