Quick q does the sound of the "pronounced mids" change slightly if you turn the cab onto it's side?

If I were you I would also put the hellborg pre/poweramp in the for sale section here on the list. The pre is essentially a copy/clone of a Neve channel strip into a amp with the output transformer.... I had the preamp and it was lovely but didn't have the amp to go with it.

odd question.... best pickups I ever played were Nordstand - any reason why you went fender rather than nordies?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436105043' post='2814962'] Funnily enough, that's [i]exactly [/i]what Ned Steinberger did and Stuart Spector said, 'Love it!' A little while later, the head of sales at Warwick said, 'Bass guitar sales have nothing to do with body shape. We're going to copy the worst body shape on the market and I'll prove to you we can still sell millions of basses with it.' And that's how that happened. [/quote] I quite like the body shape. And even if you didn't are you really telling me that Warwick do not make worse body shapes?

None of my current basses came from here! Which was a bit of a shock! I think I've bought 3 or so.

same seller as kegs dodgy warwick post. I've just offered £1....

or ebay had an offer on if you started a sale post at a certain time...

surely the designers are old enough that they aren't using the metric system! The 12mm, 15mm or 18mm chat makes me helpful its going to be in nice simple metric!

(and I'm not the designer!)

Interesting - I know Stevie is saying he would go for 18mm over 15mm ply, at the same time the trend is for better braced super light 12mm a-la Purple Chili or Barefaced. Personally if I were building it myself, which already is harder than going to a shop I would come up with a design that was more fiddly to build but more lightweight at the end- but that might just be me!

Dunlops fit in the resessed ones if that's what on your bass. Warwick one's should do too - not being daft but you are pressing the button when you go to put them in? Any 2 band preamp will do - you will just need to wire a push pull switch on it to do the whole push pull thing.

http://www.emgpickups.com/accessories/bass-accessories/tone-controls/vmc.html there you go - think that's what you've got. It's not really that weird - unless you need lots of bass boost all the time it probably makes as much sense as a two band eq on a bass.

My money is on an emg preamp there btw

Not mec - possibly the square pot is. But looking at it it doesnt look bad... no markings on any board? Got more photos?

Steed - not prose - and here's a picture that bass gear still have....

one bass I saw up for sale and wished I had bought.... and then he stopped building.... remember that lake placid blue jazz that Prose Bass made? It was modelled on someone famous' bass that I forget. That was lush. ACG über, Basslab, Ritter would all interest me not enough I actually would start saving. I like jazz basses, I like the idea of them, the sound of them - if someone could make one I liked playing live then I'ld be happy.

Worse than a soap opera! Cannae take the suspense

[quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1435491281' post='2809256'] Not trying to derail this thread entirely but a local festival last night had the bass on a Stingray 5H with a TC Blacksmith cab and 2 x RS410s playing classic rock from Motorhead, Black Sabath, Van Halen to Pink Floyd and he more than cut through, irrespective of his power supply. I was pleasantly surprised by his choice of bass considering the music but never got the chance to talk strings and settings. The tone was more than okay. Surely speaker sensitivity comes into play too? [/quote] Does a local festival not put the bass through the PA?
