ahpook

the bridge on the bass looks a lot more G&L than musicman to me.

changing the shape of the neck [i]and[/i] shrinking the size of the rockbass logo on the RB basses... whatever next ?

sounds good doesn't it ? now...i've got some money in my paypal account too. hmm....

i know a couple of people here have used them, and i've been checking around to see opinions on the web (bassfuzz.com, for example)... any other opinions floating round in the ether ?

nothing improves your playing like being in a band. get out there and go for it ! plus the one on buying a larger amp - you'll be needing it when you start gigging

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='563307' date='Aug 8 2009, 09:01 AM']Nope, the aesthetics are lost on me, that looks U.G.L.Y. Sorry! [/quote] plus the one, but then i've yet to see an alembic bass design i [i]do[/i] like.

the further you rotate the sensitivity control clockwise, the higher the compression ratio (i don't own one - this is what the manual says) hth

[quote name='mrcrow' post='570217' date='Aug 15 2009, 08:43 PM']well i am here in the living room with the lights off so i will join you in the dark brilliant sunset tonight /jealous burp/[/quote] sadly the small skies in london meant that i didn't see it. BUT...the inspirational power of guinness ! guess who forgot about the old 'boss power supply magic'...the chorus won't work with a standard wall wart unless it's grounded through another pedal via the input cable shield. so...there's nowt wrong with it - it's just a sad case of operator error. at least i cleared the frozen screw and got a replacement to slide in cheers !

[quote name='mrcrow' post='570207' date='Aug 15 2009, 08:34 PM']sorry mark hope that you get it dried out...slowly and in a dry place...airing cupboard or a greenhouse/shed cheers geof[/quote] well, it looks dry as a proverbial now (it's been outside in the shade all day)...just about to grab a multimeter, a screwdriver and a guinness and see if anything looks abviously wrong. /sluurp/

[quote name='lateralus462' post='570101' date='Aug 15 2009, 06:16 PM']I will be ordering one next week when I get paid - I'll post my thoughts up here after I've had a chance to get to grips with it. I think I might need to get an expression pedal to go with it as well - that function looks pretty kick ass!![/quote] nicely nicely

not far from some of the excuses you see for spelling on this forum to be honest

[quote name='Jarhead' post='569588' date='Aug 14 2009, 10:50 PM']Its been a while since I used it, but I think it resembles a patch that was on my old Zoom multi fx. Alien something or other. It has been a while since I used it because I broke it, but I think it was similar to that. It sounds a lot like some sort of bit crusher effect as well. Experiment a bit I say. Zach[/quote] plus the one sounds like a zoom step wah to me - it was on most of their rack units and some of their multi-fx pedals iirc.

that's a very low price. very low...

well, i've given up and drilled the head of the screw out. sadly i can't see anything obviously wrong with the pcb - no scorches or obvious mess. gonna leave it open in the vain hope that it dries out during the day, and then have a proper look tonight after some work on the bathroom. hope i can resurrect it...

[quote name='lateralus462' post='569781' date='Aug 15 2009, 10:40 AM']These pedals look awesome - I think I'm going to get one even though it will mean getting a bigger pedal board (I have no room left on mine).[/quote] know how you feel ! do let us know how you get on with the enigma if you do get one.

[quote name='Rich' post='569038' date='Aug 14 2009, 02:13 PM']She told me that she'd played on the RHCP albums.[/quote] that even got girlfren laughing !

[quote name='RichB' post='569343' date='Aug 14 2009, 06:31 PM']That's put a whole new slant on things. He's certainly no John Entwistle[/quote] how many dancing typists do you know ?

bust them ker-ayzee moves daddy-o.

i'm in max...email coming.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' post='569125' date='Aug 14 2009, 03:15 PM']Well it's obviously not BAD but it looks bad! Could look better! It's a lottery really :-p[/quote] true...but warwick make a big thing about the wood they use in construction. i'd hope that would extend to the cosmetic as well as sonic considerations. spesh as i'm thinking of a custom fortress as a treat for my 40th !!

[quote name='1976fenderhead' post='569104' date='Aug 14 2009, 03:02 PM']After posting at Warwick, it seems it really may be tiger stripe ebony!!!! And check this out: the bass I got is the on they photographed for the website: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_corvette_standard_fl_02.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_corvette_standard_fl_02.htm[/url] Other Warwicks with the same wood fingerboard don't show any such stains in their pictures though![/quote] very true...my rockbass fortress has a tigerstripe fretboard and it's way prettier than the one on fenderhead's full-blown warwick !

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='569013' date='Aug 14 2009, 01:47 PM']I often shove an empty pack of 'Nicotinel' in there at gigs - gets a knowing laugh from some and bemusement from many!![/quote]

[quote name='1976fenderhead' post='568883' date='Aug 14 2009, 12:09 PM']I've arranged for exchange, they didn't cause any problems, yet at least, waiting for courier pickup details...[/quote] well, that's good news, but you'd think they'd have looked at the wood and realised that it wasn't the prettiest bit of lumber they could have used.

maplins ?
