not tempted by that Basslab then?

really???

why does it say "bridge pickup" ?

We used to have a basschat wiki didn’t we? Would be perfect for this!

I think I might have just solved the decent looking badge conundrum for us too

Which will hurt them in US copyright law - the reason that Rickenbacker are such ****s to sites like this isn't because they are ****s but because they have to show they are actively protecting their IP The video's gone - but everything in a Gibson may make up the "Gibson DNA" but that doesn't mean that everything in a Gibson is able to be protected as their IP.

Yeah that’s what I figure. I think the mistake I made was the finish went a bit dark too so it doesn’t catch my eye. Should have gone silver glitter!

Thumb s had that

You should defiantly buy one and report back. I realise I am adding nothing to this relationship except encouraging you to spend your money but still...!

Maybe I should refinish it in silver glitter

Go on then! switches are parallel/SC/series for each pickup then volume- 5position switch - bass - treble using a copy of a pre EB stingray preamp I built. 5 position switch is 100 neck/100 Neck 80 bridge / 100 both / 80 neck 100 bridge / 100 both idea being in bridge pickup in parallel it’s 100% a stingray in terms of pickup position and how the circuit works. Neck pickup is more or less a precision sound and close to my G&L L1000. Both single coils and you know it’s not an awful jazz sound. Sounds good, though preamp needs a fair bit of balancing between settings as (like a stingray) there’s nothing in between the pups and the preamp input. oddly it comes into its own tonally through a compressor.

Is it helix size or smaller?

And I’m not thinking of getting a future impact!

Yeah - esp as the ones you see secondhand tend to be already priced at the ‘might as well get a new one’ level

But would the next stomp owner be able to get the software at the reduced price?

I just found one for sale and pointed someone who did want one in that direction

A couple of years ago I built a bitsa bass, kinda an expanded stingray in design - and made the body myself from a bit of ash Jon Shuker sold me. It currently sits under the bed. Not because it’s a bad bass - it’s not it’s really good... but because my Sadowsky and G&L are just better instruments... so im emotionally invested in it as I built part of it, but it doesn’t get used... but am I right in thinking that selling a bitsa like this is all but impossible and I would have to split it into its constituant parts?

What he said!

We did that once, lots of drum loops on a laptop and the guitarist triggered different parts with a midi foot switch. Some most of them were more Aphex Twin or Radiohead than straight U2 Coldplay christian rock beats. It worked quite well for everyone singing as, well the rhythm was constant... but we had him and me, and I'm not awful and he's amazing musician. I fail to see how most people given a drum machine would struggle... or if they did they would soon get used to it. (would you hitting piezo's with your feet really be that much better?) Would midi foot pedal triggering something electronic not be easier?

Stiff drink and you’ll be fine

I am excited!

If you want a decent price on a Warwick hit Warwickhunt up - he's usually got a few he will move on at very good prices. And that's secondhand Warwick prices good btw - so fantastic value compared to other brands!
