Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) So yesterday I purchased this beauty: [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1103.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1103.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1102.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1102.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1101.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1101.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1100.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1100.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1099.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1099.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1098.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1098.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1097.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1097.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/?action=view¤t=IMG_1096.jpg][IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/TheOwl_2007/th_IMG_1096.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Pro Series Starbass.

Doctor J Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Beautiful! Any chance you could save that audio as mp3, my computer doesn't know what an ipb file is and I'd love to hear what that thing sounds like.

tredders Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Now that is very very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Actually it IS an mp3, but the forum converts it. Try using Firefox, I know IE and Safari has troubles downloading the attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Once the file has downloaded just change the extension to MP3 and it works. Edit: downloaded fine on Safari - just had to rename the extension.

John Schoen Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Firefox downloads it ok as ipb file, you can change the extension to mp3 then to listen to it. Beautiful bass, I like the sound too. /edit BigredX was quicker Edited February 26, 2012 by John Schoen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't think you even need to change the extension - in Firefox click 'Open With' when prompted and select Windows Media Player, or somesuch; WMP then tuts about it not being a format it recognises, but will volunteer to have a crack at it anyway... and it plays fine Sounds great; looks great A good purchase, I would say.

Blademan_98 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That is one sweet looking bass Thanks for the advice on converting the file to mp3 (for us lowly IE users). Sounds really mellow and laid back. Superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysh Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 congrats, looks and sounds great. the only warwick I might like....if I didn't have my '65 guild starfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I really like the look of these (apart from the nasty Warwick paddle headstock). However the only one I've been able to play felt (to me) horrible. However I'm liking the sound clip that you posted (surprisingly twangy for a semi-acoustic fitted with humbuckers?) so maybe I should give one another go - if I can find one to try in the UK.

BigRedX Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Are the pickups actually humbuckers or just fat single coils (like the bass equivalent of the P90) in an oversized cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 According to the Warwick website they are SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
