  1. +1 on playing root notes to start off with. After a few plays I generally have an idea what I want to do rythmically and melodically and can work it out with a better idea of whether or not it will work with the rest of the song. I guess whatever you hear in your head when you write parts is a subconcious product of your musical influences so I tend not to go in thinking "What would <insert favourite players name> do here?". Likewise, I try and write a part that will work with no effects at all in case of massive equipment failure.
  2. All the settings are on the M5. My favourites are octo, cave and hall (if you're feeling boring) but they're all useful.
  3. Still got my 5 string, not the most amazing bass in the world but the action is really impressive. Trying to work out whether to sell it or go back to it as my main bass. Shame it's so damn heavy.
  4. Sold my Warwick Streamer to Mark today, very easy bloke to deal with by PM and a really nice guy in person. Plus he has what sounds like an enviable selection of Streamers and Spector basses
  5. [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1338311898' post='1672579'] In one. Elephant in the room time, and all that. [/quote] Yep. Undeniably great player but that was just plain bad. Almost comparable to... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MI-_jWAmlE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MI-_jWAmlE[/url]
  6. [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1338227580' post='1671183'] UK reunion?? I know a few people that might have a problem with that [/quote] Bit wrong but that made me laugh.
  7. [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1337843079' post='1666140'] If anyone decides to order, maybe someone could sort a joint order to get a discount like Shep? Count me in for a pitch box if anyone does! [/quote] Very tempted even though I really don't need any more pedals....
  8. Had a firm offer so sold pending inspection and payment. If it falls through for any reason I'll go though everyone who expressed an interest in order.
  9. It's probably the same one, I got mine from a guy called Joe on here based in Sheffield back in July '10.
  10. They are very nice but apparently not very popular as they're discontinued and seem to go for relatively cheap. Was yours the blue one that was on here a bit ago?
  11. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1338141806' post='1670059'] Never a fan of the mustang, but I like the upgrades. [/quote] Me neither but the fixed bridge and 'buckers combined with the sunburst finish looks very good. Seriously considered trading my Jazzmaster in for one.
  12. I took some this morning, so... yes. Little to no rash I'm glad to say. And a pic of the neck profile if anyone's interested.
  13. Thanks, missed out on a very nice Sandberg fretless in Leeds a couple of weeks ago. Just hope this is still when/if the money comes through.
  14. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1337709904' post='1664386'] In black that guitar is quite nice, but in sunburst... GAS! [/quote] You seen the Mustang special? Very nice.
  15. Diago Powerstation. No problems at all.
  16. Yeah, I'm having a substantial gear shuffle around and this was the hardest one to decide to let go. I just haven't played it in months which seems like a massive waste. Got my Yamaha to tide me over in case anything comes up.
  17. Ah right, only 1 stacked knob on this one. Thanks, it's a very nice bass but surplus to requirements. And I want a nice fretless.
  18. This is my Streamer Pro-M. Currently for sale to free up funds for a fretless.
  19. Don't think so, 2 J style pickups in the housing and a bass/treble preamp. You want a gutshot?
  20. Just put my Warwick up for sale, if it goes I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'm after a fretless and have never owned a P which I understand is a sackable offence.
  21. That pink P looks sweet. Sadly, I'm at the start of a gear shift around so can't commit to buy anything at the moment. Good luck with the sale anyway.
  22. The band I play bass in seems to have disbanded and my cheapy Yamaha has turned me native (fretless) so I have no need for my Warwick Streamer Pro-M anymore. It's a '98, everything works fine and I've kept it waxed since I got it a couple of years ago. It has a Hipshot D-tuner on the E and I have the original tuner as well if you want to change back. Website blurb here:- "The Streamer Pro M bass takes the same body and neck construction as the Streamer LX and adds a very special pickup and electronics package to it. The AA Flamed Maple body of the Streamer Pro M is shaped for ultimate playing comfort, combined with a bolt-on Ovangkol neck with a Wenge fingerboard and golden hardware.The MEC Twin-J pickup system is actually two separate J-style pickups in one single mounting. A MEC active 2-band preamp allows you to get a wide variety of tones that is difficult to generate on any other bass." Based in Sheffield, collection preferred or I can meet to deliver for a petrol contribution (if it's not too far, I hate driving). Warwick gigbag and Levys strap included. £400 or trade considered for a decent fretless. And yes, I know my carpet needs vacuuming and the door needs painting.
  23. I'm a Warwick fan but I don't add random apps. Sorry.
  24. [quote name='eude' timestamp='1337616758' post='1662860'] I'd be happy to do them if you don't mind paying the postage Scoop Eude [/quote] I can't see a fellow BC'er lumbered with all that work. I'll do a few. You know, just to help out.
