I have to say that I have noticed this quite a lot on a similar Facebook buy/sell type page. The majority of people on there are nice but there is a small minority who seem to have no tolerance/understanding of the fact that some people aren't as knowledgeable as them. No real need at all to be rude like that to anybody IMO.

Would like to do this myself having recently went back to using Warwick basses so subscribed to this thread! I do imagine it wouldn't have enough space without flipping it to a weird (and probably extremely irritating angle). Still wouldn't mind one for the low B though!

Really quite enjoyed that song except the bass solo. Don't get the dressing up thing but would kill to be able to play as well as he does!

Pretty cool idea. Would be good to do something similar but with slightly less obvious but still distinct sounding basses (say brands like Warwicks, Spectors etc).

[quote name='Rodders' timestamp='1418764843' post='2633183'] My guess is: 1. Precision 2. Stingray 3. Treble cut 4. Jazz [/quote] This was my guess.

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1418552012' post='2631026'] Really? My Rockbass Streamer sounds absolutely nothing like a real Streamer. [/quote] I've played quite a few Rockbasses and found they sound and play nothing like any German Warwick. they were all good for the price but not a Warwick in my mind.

I seem to be completely unable to play any walking bassline. I have no real clue why but it doesn't inhibit me from playing/writing what I feel like at the moment so I'm not seeing it as too much of an issue. Will work on it at some point though!

Lots of Porcupine Tree, Magic Pie and Mudvayne at the moment. Spent most of last week listening to Moby and Sigur Ros so it's quite a contrast.

I wasn't aware they ever done MIJ Dolphins. Guess my Warwick knowledge needs a brush up!

What's that Warwick? Looks like a Dolphin but I never knew they done them with finishes like outside the custom shop (in which case it wouldn't be MIJ)

I don't but it may be worth going on YouTube and finding someone who has covered it accurately and finding it out by watching that. Sometimes they actually put tabs in the description/annotated onto the video. Edit : This one looks decent but haven't actually listened along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCmuL43KmfM

I wish I couldn't say this but I've genuinely saw worse bands. Probably been part of one or two of them at some point as well unfortunately.

Got my ticket a few weeks ago. Was gutted I missed it last year.

First are fourth are the ones I think work best (to me) but they all work with the song. Great video and idea!

Saw this on the buy/sell facebook page. May be a good bass for those who want one but the guy seems like an arse. Why not just say "no extended range instruments"?

Things like this are exactly what makes this [s]website[/s] community such a nice place to be a part of.

They have posted a detailed list of all the gear that was nicked on their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/thetravellingband/photos/pcb.10154915610195080/10154915598270080/?type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/thetravellingband/photos/pcb.10154915610195080/10154915598265080/?type=1&permPage=1

I'm not clued up on this at all but to me if you're goign to work there then a work visa would be required. As people have already said...it's not worth the (quite frankly huge) risk.

I've just made a mess That's gorgeous.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1418218402' post='2628059'] [font=Helvetica][size=3][size=4]Is your current bass also bubinga? ‘Cos bubinga is one helluva dense and weighty wood.[/size][/size][/font] [/quote] Not entirely bubinga but it does have a bubinga topwood. Funnily enough, the lightest bass I've ever owned was also a warwick thumb. I didn't weigh it but I would have been surprised if it reached the 3 kilo mark! Had a look into the Ash Corvettes but they just didn't have that same character which made the bubinga model so nice.

Sold Simon a pedal. Quick payments and no fuss at all. Deal with no worries

[quote name='DogHammer' timestamp='1418217102' post='2628036'] This is the reason I had to get rid of my German Corvette $$ NT Bubinga, even though it was a fantastic bass, I think its caused me long term back issues! [/quote] To put into perspective how heavy the corvette was for me. The corvette weighed near enough double of my current bass! A real shame too as it sounded absolutely fantastic!

There is the Pro Series instruments which as far as I'm aware is almost like an inbetween stage for the Rockbass and German made Warwicks. From what I've heard the Bubinga Corvette STD is just as good as the German ones (which are fantastic basses if you have a back made of steel). I think the reason their prices have went up so much was due to drastically increasing the amount of time they spent on creating each bass. I could be wrong but I'm sure someone more educated will correct me . Great basses and they do have something that no other brands have (That "Warwick Growl"). Short of buying a custom bass a lot of the time I don't see a point in buying new. Especially when it definitely is a buyers market and has been for some time now.
