    Here we have a Warwick Quad VI amp. Ive always described Warwicks “valve amps” and a budget Mesa BB750. Technically they are all valve with a 2 x 12ax7 pre amp and a mini all valve power amp of 1 x 12ax7 and 1 x EL84 (in this case a vintage Mullard effort). This is then fed into a 400w amplifier stage to give gigging volume usage. Gets dirty with the gain cranked and is genuinely the closest ive come to a big valve amp without having a big valve amp. Comes in a rackbag for ease of carriage and looks and works immaculately. Was voted “amp of the year” by bass player mag (according to my google searches). Theres 2 used ones for sale at Bass Gallery at the moment for around £500 so ill price mine at £300 with the rackbag and mullard EL84? As always, collection from Bolton or can meet within reasonable distance. Not trades at moment thanks

    One and only price drop to £1,300 then it will probably be used in a part ex at Bass Gallery

    Whilst cash is king - Trade wise/part ex id consider Fender P’s (4 string traditional type - I particularly like 90’s MIJ fenders), Italia rimini bass or peerless retromatic (black) and valve SVT’s with cash top ups to make up the difference in value

    Warwick amps

    Pow_22 replied to Pow_22's topic in Amps and Cabs

    So, just in case anyone was remotely interested.... having used this at a few full volume rehearsals i can say quite honestly it DOES do that valvey thing quite well. I mean in the way its clearly not an all Valve amp but it does do a very good imitation. Most hybrids that attempt that all valve sound seem to focus purely on the ‘distortion’ side of things - whilst the Warwick doesnt do the sag/bounce thing so much it definitely does that valve ‘roar’ when played loud. I loved the tubepath and this is very much in a similar vein, id say (as i did with the tubepath) its very much a Mesa BB750 on a budget. Very happy so far with my Spector and will feedback after monday when i use my MIJ jazz. So far so good

    Great amps! I have the B50R and it sounds more 'old school valvey' that my actual 'old school valvey' SB12!

    Yes, both sets of hardware will be included in the sale. They are both drop in exact replacements with no extra holes or anything
  15. Pow_22

    Funnily enough i did have some NPS Blue Steels on here as thats what Leigh Foxx uses and it was a lovely tone. Its the old case of “its not her, its me” 🤣. Im still very much umming and ahhing so may well pull after ive slept on it. Massively struggling to get pics up tho, keeps saying i cant upload so much MB?
  18. Pow_22
    For some reason i cant add photos....will keep trying edit. Saying ive reached my upload limit. Will need to do some Housekeeping i think

    May massively regret this as its the most expensive and stunning to look at bass ive had. However, everytime i buy something that isnt a basic Jazz or P bass i end up battling with it 😔. So, i believe its a 2018 but happy to be corrected. I swapped the chrome hardware for gold but originals can be included in the sale (gold looks miles better on these). Bought it on a bit of a whim watching the most recent Blondie line up where Leigh Fox sometimes totes one of these along side his NS2 and gets the most ballsiest tone. Alas, ive seen a nice simple jazz that’s probably more me but if i pull this ad at any point im sure people would understand. Not really sure what more to add....its got EMG PJ pups, adjustable Tonepump preamp, is currently wearing GHS pressurewounds and sounds like a nuclear bomb going off. Ive wound the tonepump back to just under 50% and its still a hot donkey beach 😀. Collection from Bolton or could meet within reasonable distance.

    Years ago i briefly owned a Warwick Tubepath 5.1 and it did that ‘tube amp’ spongey sag thing superbly, it reminded me so much of the Mesa BB750 that i loved. I see a lot of the old Warwicks used the same idea of using a valve pre-amp section but then putting a EL84 between that and a mosfet power stage. My local junky type shop often gives me a call when something bassy comes in and it turns out they have a Warwick Quad VI in that ill go and check out. My question to any Quad users is are these amps similar tonally to the tubepath in that they do that bouncy slight breakup thing or are we talking a much cleaner amp with the Quad VI? Ill be running it with a hot bass (Spector Euro) so im guessing with the right settings i could push the pre into breakup but its more the sag/bounce/spongey valves sound im after rather than just grit

    Not ebay so please delete if not allowed but bargain ashdown combo at Crack Generators up in that Scotland. Id be all over this like a cheap suit if this was local, alas they wont post. IMHO the spyder series were some of Ashdown’s very best work https://cashgenerator.co.uk/products/ashdown-220-amp?_pos=1&_sid=a6dbbb18b&_ss=r
  23. Pow_22
    Reduced on ebay so will follow suit here. £850 collected
  24. Pow_22
    Unused still in bag GHS Pressurewounds. Lovely strings and were my favourite for a while on my new 'non flats' journey. Finally settled on nickel rounds tho. £30 posted to your UK front door

    After being a long time Elites Flatwound/P Bass guy lockdown did funny things to me i ended up going in a completely other direction with the purchase of a Spector Euro LX4. Ive quickly discovered this beast loves nickel wounds and the pre amp can give them an almost flat-esque thump/pump while retaining clarity and growl. As a cheap first set i got a set of 106/48 Dean Markley Nickelsteel off that ebay for not much £ and have been very impressed. I like a bit of tension to my string and these certainly have that. Delving more into the Markley range i can see the also offer their Blue Steels in an NPS version and was curious how these compare to their 'standard' nickel steel at almost a 75% price difference? Any Markley users have experience with their range of Nickels care to chip in?
