    Today I get to play in the opening band (Cheat Trick) at the City Hall in Newcastle... tomorrow I get to repeat but playing with INXS UK.

    I own the band name. I have a van. I own and operate the PA. ...irreplaceable!

    So what is the actual evidence that lead to these conclusions? Distortion effects taking out voice coils, valve watts killing 400-800w cabs... guitarists can drive valve amps into distortion and put them through 100w cabs with no ill effects!

    Halfords or any bicycle shop.

    The important part is that you got insurance as a bolt on with Secureus; PF don't cover guitars/basses even if you pay extra for the cover.

    Yep, pretty much my thoughts and why I auditioned with a burst P bass. Looking at videos from over the years GGB seems to have dabbled with other brands but keeps reverting back to a P bass (black or burst); lots of parallels with A Clayton, though GGB went on to produce his own as opposed to taking more sponsorship.

    Now if @police squad were to join a Rush tribute and play a Steinberger stick bass... hmmmm!

    Yep, P bass on 80% of everything I've watched; the odd J bass or something esoteric from the 80's period. I just happened to notice a Streamer bass on one live gig so I thought I'd see how it sounded in a rehearsal and it (Stage I on the P pup solo) popped the P bass on steroids tone and the rest of the band immediately said 'Play that one!'. Aesthetically, a purist INXS fan (likely also a bassist) might think a Warwick is not the 'right' bass but he dicked around with lots of other stuff (just like A Clayton really). I suppose it has to look AND sound right.

    Parallels... Since joining an INXS tribute, I've been rehearsing with a P bass (used a lot by Garry GB) but after seeing an INXS promo with him playing a Warwick Streamer I decided to take mine along. The lads all unanimously agreed it actually nailed the bass tone better than the P bass (despite trying to EQ the P bass to match). As a result I may end up using a style of bass in a tribute that the bassist may only have used for one album or tour!

    I have some of their little pedals and they are pretty good. This size multi-effects for £60ish is a no brainer if you want a little pedal for rehearsal/practice.

    I have no science behind it but I'm broadly 20Hz higher than each of those. <edit> In fact I think I have the main outputs passed at about 70-80Hz... I'll check later.

    Might be worth mentioning that it isn't a heavy bass (especially for a 5 string).
  15. warwickhunt
    What WoT said!
  16. warwickhunt
    I've owned this bass and as a result I am constantly looking for the 4 string version; I'm not a 5 string player, otherwise I'd still own it!

    88... 1988 the best year for a Warwick Streamer (IMHO).

    I have cabs that I don't need or use and I'm selling them... yet I stop off every few days to check this isn't sold! LOL

    I didn't think you'd pay tax on a low value item?

    It's probably just me but I'm not a big fan of loads of guitar changes, regardless of whether the original band/frontman would have talked for a minute or 3 between every song... Bono's handclapping speech et al. I drop tune my bass to D for 5 songs in my INXS tribute but all of those songs are grouped together to avoid unnecessary pauses/delays. Tbh once you've done it a dozen times, you can drop and retune in seconds... virtually don't even need to use a tuner.

    Several issues could be my lack of experience with Tonex but tbh I dived straight into the TC software/hardware tone editing in the Plethora with very little need to search tutorials. The crashing and reinstalling of software etc is squarely down to Tonex. Without @bnt's guidance on what/how to disable various things to utilise the pedal as an interface when adjusting presets, I'd have put the pedal out of the window. It was infuriating that it wasn't described in a basic guide.
