    I’ve succumbed to the hype and ordered one! Currently running a Capo into a Noble on my board, thinking this might replace the Noble. I love the saturation of the Capo with the added mojo of the Noble, but having a second input at the end of the chain would be very useful being as I am on synth bass on every gig too. Currently have to carry a separate DI and use two channels, be easier to just have it all on one DI for gigs we are mixing ourselves. Be very interested to see what you think vs the Noble Paddy.

    The first time I ever actually saw a bass in the flesh in 1983 it was one of these (might even have been this one). Slightly early Overwater vibe. Lovely!

    When I sold my MB58R 102 cab the chap came round with the MB CMD121 combo and connected my cab to it. Without it sounded boxy and not much low bass. With my cab it was deeper, fuller and of course louder. Massive improvement

    Well sometime later I’m 100% playing with a pick and still prefer the triangle shape pick and tend to use the Dunlop “ Flex” series in 1.0mm The magic for me playing with a pick = good amp and compressor, cab with 12” speakers, PBass and mids slightly scooped in EQ The Flex series has a warmer tone compared to Ultex or Tortex pics but not as soft as nylon

    Hi Steve. I tried an 845 once when it was still in production but it had the BH2 Barts which really wasn’t my thing but,what's interesting is the replacement 945 has Nordstrand Big Single pickups which IS my thing. I'm wondering if the sheer body size along with the longer scale length and possible marketing towards the metal genre has made them somewhat niche 🤔 Don't rule out the 705 however as in my experience it almost played itself and sounded good doing it. I've noticed Ibanez have removed the 705 from their website now.

    selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

    Hi All, A lot of great advice here. If only the rest of the internet was as helpful! The Mini CMD 121 does look like the pragmatic option, but it is lacking the "I want one!" factor. Also, my first gig (1989!) was with a 12in combo that sounded decidedly muffled, so I used 15in's after that when I was still gigging. I'm going to have a think (I'm not in a rush), and if I buy one I'll let you guys know what I think of it. Thanks again.

    Bargain for a cracking (and tiny), simple compressor. Glwts

    Go Vest (very appropriate for their We Close Our Eyes video).

    Yeah, realistically just buying a TC electronic 208 and a Gnome head would get similar results for half the cash.
  18. Gwanso started following Warwick Custom Shop Left-Handed 2010 CO Corvette, NT, 4-string, - Wax
  19. Gwanso
    Priced to sell. Mint, case, documents. No trades. Up for sale is 2010 Limited Edition Left Handed Warwick Corvette. A stunning example. Excellent & in mint condition. One previous owner, who appeared to have hardly played it. I purchased it in c.2018/19 and have only played it a handful of times. It has lived 99% of its time in the case. I am a guitarist and occasionally dip into bass - I thought I would play more but life got in the way. And that is not to even open up my journey into left-handed guitar playing - I am a lefty who has played righty since aged 12. For various reasons, I went all out for a few years and taught myself to play lefty. This purchase was part of that journey. Long story short my "experiment" failed and I have resorted to playing right-handed again. Hence, sadly, selling this wonderful instrument. Neck, set up, action, playability, feel are all superb. And sound versatility, wow! There are just loads of options. This is a real example of beautiful luthier workmanship with absolute top tier materials and hardware. Lovely to hold and play sitting or standing. A real eye catcher! Condition is as photohraphed. I have tried to detail every angle. All electronics work 100%. Blurb / Description. It was constructed with light weight Ash body topped with nicely figured Ziricote and 4 pcs maple + Ekanga veneer neck thru body module with maple fingerboard and block inlays. The overall weight is less than 10 pounds. The neck profile is relatively slim when comparing to other Warwick makes this limited corvette more enjoyable to play. Warwick described this Ltd edition Corvette as “it has Fender Jazz written all over it”. It sports a pair of twin single-coil J-style pickups, two 3-way coil selection mini-toggles (single/humbucker/parallel), active MEC electronic (which can be bypassed via the push/pull volume knob), master volume, pickup balance knob, 3 band EQ that boost or cut the treble, mid and bass. This is one of the most versatile bass designed by Warwick. Other features: Just-a-nut III, Strap locks, COA, Warwick care kit and a non-original hard case that fits the bass like a glove. Warwick only made 300 of this worldwide including both 4- and 5- stringers. This is #121 and was engraved by laser at the back of the headstock. To make it even more collectible, this bass was hand signed by the president of Warwick, Hans-Peter Wilfer. Grab this before someone does!!!

    Sticking it on the fridge at the end was very amusing. However, as mentioned above, totally bonkers.

    what are you playing atm? do you have or have you tried any 33" scale bass ? (not many at retailers i can guess) , I've played/owned and built a lot of basses and guitars and for me it's down to pickup/placement and strings + your own technique (unless your playing an acoustic instrument (again strings+technique are a big part of any of that sound) I find the "ToneWoods" methos is used by folk who want to charge you a lot or so people can justify why they spent a lot ..... come at me bro

    I didn’t think his production line actually built the engines or any of the other parts of the car.
  25. police squad started following Harley Benton flats - they're a bit good!
  26. police squad
    actually all their own brand strings are dirt cheaper guitar sets from £1.30!! change them every gig at that price but I've recently bought 50 sets from a closing down JHS so I'm done for strings now might try a set of these flats though

  32. Lfalex v1.1 started following (Belated) NCD and home-made plinth/riser.
  33. Lfalex v1.1
    Phil Jones Bass C8 atop its new home. Plinth was made from 2x 400mm² paving slabs, 2 carpet tiles and an old 6mm thick exercise mat. The cargo strap runs under the bottom slab, but above the slice of exercise mat. Holds it all very firmly in place so no errant relatives dislodge anything. The strap unfastens in 2 seconds and the cab can be removed for rehearsal/gigging. The plinth elevates the cab by ~70mm. I doubt that changes anything for boundary reinforcement, but it's all very rigid and stable in a way it wasn't before, plus there's a small degree of mechanical decoupling from the floor. In any case, it certainly sounds good.
