    Warwick basses generally downtune very well with little fuss and still sound good! Many basses sound rubbish downtuned. Perhaps another reason why they're favoured in metal?

    The internet has really lit a fire under small music shops. They have 2 choices as far as I can see - buck their ideas up and provide a worthwhile shopping experience [i]and[/i] back it up with a good website, or just quit before they lose everything!

    I've bought and sold quite a few things on here but I've been a bit rubbish about giving feedback. If I've traded with anyone can you please give me a reminder about what we sold / bought off each other? thanks

    That's a great price. Presuming that's one of the old-style Warwick necks, this is an absolute bargain.

    "Brand new full size bass guitar by swift music london,there is some info on the web about them,as a promotion we are including a bag,strap and lead.maple neck,solid hardwood body,a lovely guitar at a ridiculous price" Great! There's some "info on the web about them". The title of the auction is 'Beautiful Pink Bass Guitar', so all I need to do is type that into Google, right? I'm sold.

    I had one of these amps a few years ago. What a monster! I sold it to someone on here, I can't remember who though. :wacko:

    Kennyrodg, if they are D'Addario flats, which it sounds like they are with the coloured ends, then they're what D'Addario call Chromes.

    Chris, it might be worth contacting Warwick. There is a support section on their warwick.de site.

    I really dig the D'Addario ProSteel sound too. I've tried all sorts of strings on my Warwicks' and been really into other brands for short periods of time but I've always come back to using Prosteel EPS190 (40-100's).

    Does anyone know what Colin Marston uses to get that gritty edge to his bass tone on Barriers and Passages? I can't figure out if it's amp drive, digging really hard with his pick or some kind of mellow/gritty drive pedal.. or maybe all three? Ed

    Bump for the price drop. DBX 160A £150, Behringer 2x10 £50.

    [quote name='1976fenderhead' post='294099' date='Sep 28 2008, 07:38 PM']For chorus: Tool[/quote] Is it a chorus pedal on quite a deep setting or a flanger pedal on a mellow setting that he uses for tunes like 46 & 2? I've never been able to figure that one out... sounds good either way though

    [quote name='bobbass4k' post='294276' date='Sep 29 2008, 01:11 AM']which kyuss basslines would you say use distortion? (sorry to go off topic, but i'm a kyuss fanboy)[/quote] In reference to Nick Oliveri, he just uses a 70's Ampeg V4 cranked up with a P-Bass that's had the volume pot taken out, going straight into an Ernie Ball volume pedal. From what I gather, that's pretty much all he's ever used.

    They're awesome in stereo Joegarcia, go on, you know you want to

    Korg are about to release a tuner with a built in time machine, featuring shiny blue lights.

    Korg DTR sold to Walbassist. DBX Compressor and Behringer Cab to go, roll up roll up!

    I'm in an instrumental 3-piece called Brux www.myspace.com/bruxband

    DBX 160A Compressor/Limiter - Mint condition, original packaging - [b]sold (pending)[/b] I highly recommend this for use with Markbass amps, I tried all sorts of compressors with my Markbass gear and none came close to how good this sounds when it's run last in the signal chain before the amp. I'm sure it sounds great with other amps too of course, Marcus Miller gives the 160A the thumbs up Behringer Ultrabass BB210 - Good condition, corner blocks are a little scuffed but the grill is immaculate, no dings or dents anywhere. - [b]sold[/b] 2x10 / 600watt / 8 ohm Ed
