I think they are generally regarded as the best budget bass amp you can buy! Wonderful pieces of kit!

Total beauty! I love the stack knob configuration - I've had it on my own workhorse Jazz since I bought it and wouldn't change it for the world! Honestly not as expensive as I thought it would be from the Fender Custom Shop? I was looking at some custom Warwicks the other day, in comparison, and they were more than double the cost of this Jazz. That P/J just looks IMMENSE too!

My favourites are the Superlux DRK set - just fantastic, crisp mics and great VFM. My band uses them without a comp/gate and they just sound amazing, really natural! I think there's a review in one of those pro audio mags online too that actually persuaded me to buy them in the first place - I'll see if I can dig it out. EDIT - not exactly the same set, but the review can be found [url="http://www.musictechmag.co.uk/mtm/reviews/drk-b5c2-drum-mic-set"]HERE[/url] if interested

If it were me, I would present my opinion if asked, and wouldn't if not - especially if the guys themselves are 100% happy with the final recording.

With reference to OBBM - I've used the same cable he made me for over 100 gigs in the last year with no problems. A huge +1 from me Danny

I have a set of Wizard 84s on my primary Jazz, and when the neck pickup is soloed with the tone control open, it sounds exactly like a Precision - huge, warm and phat! +1 from me for these bad boys.

I'll gladly help too if need be. PM me with the details and we can sort something out

If a picture speaks a thousand words then: Quite simply - wow! Has anyone tried one of these beauties? I've always missed my SSII since selling it and this could well fill the Warwick void in my life! Danny

I'm starting a new job in the New Year so have naturally already got my first year's wages spent in my head! So far I have: Orange AD200 Valve Head A couple of Hartke Hydrive cabs A good cabinet mic A double bass A Fender Marcus Miller A J-Retro pre for above A Sennheiser G3 GB system Custom moulded earphones Better start saving now

I generally find that when playing covers on a 5 string bass, you can get away with substituting the low notes down as far as D, but any lower and I think your average music listener will subconsciously notice the difference as it is LOW!

Both very cool vids! Great to see footage of the legendary 'claw'!

Still at it! PM me for more info if required!

The tone he gets from the '66 in question is to die for.

'Gimme Gimme Gimme' by ABBA is my undoubted favourite!

An instrument is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you sell it to someone for less than you could get from someone else, then it's just a combination of bad luck and perhaps judgement on the seller's part.

Also considering one of these systems for larger gigs - reviews do seem positive, on the whole! May be worth a punt and will always be useful as a spare if you do upgrade down the line.

Look at the G string, were the action as high as the E string suggests it wouldn't be that close to the edge of the frets in a picture taken at that angle.[/quote] Good call, actually. You can see a slight bit of bend in the string from it's recoil.

I like to play ascending runs in the prechorus - the Bm part, I usually run up to the D, then up to the G. Aside from that - not really anything that different, mostly roots with the odd passing tone and octave thrown in!

Marcus closed about a month ago, unfortunately. Two of the guys in my band are former employees, and they said it was coming for months. A real shame really as I noodled away many a good afternoon in there!

A friend of mine is working on a set of IEM buds at the moment - his company is called Minerva Hearing Protection, you should check them out as their prices are very competitive and they offer the same specs as ACS and Ultimate.
