[quote name='charic' timestamp='1345032822' post='1772575'] I would recommend trying it first if you can. Although they'll sell again easily, when we were A/Bing it at a bassbash we could hear a difference and I decided it wasn't for me. In a mix it may be a different matter mind! [/quote] also some amps/preamps etc already have similar things built in....

Dear Mr Warwick I note that I have not received a free bass yet in order to make your welcome area more happy. That's ok, I understand, I am disappointing though and as a consequence will boycott all Warwick Basses for the next two days.* yours Luke *that two days is admittedly the time before my dissertation (thesis in german ) handin when I'm stuck behind my computer but still!

all "in my opinion of course"

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1345239319' post='1775572'] Have you ever thought of getting a USA Jazz? Squier and Jap Fenders don't cut it like a proper Jazz. [/quote] b00lox - japanese fenders are at least the equal of the US production of the last 10 years, a fair few of them even have the same pickups on them. The US vintage reissue is a step up I'll give you that but I would take one of the Jap reissue series over a US standard any day of the week and then some.

[quote name='Bass-Thing' timestamp='1345234580' post='1775481'] Ok thanks folks I appreciate what you're saying and I take your various points. Thing is my main issue with BBOT bridges is that you can't get a decent low action and a Badass will give you the lowest you can get without gluing the strings to the fretboard. Can you get the same sort of action with a Babicz? The bass I'm about to get to all intents and purposes, has a Geddy Lee neck and I want the same action I have on my GL jazz bass. Basically I'm asking are these Babicz bridges any good? Regarding the Gotoh not really that impressed though I am intrigued by the Schaller. [/quote] Schaller is nice. But I don't believe you with a Badass/BBOT affecting the action. If anything isn't the baseplate of the badass thicker? action is more down to the neck.

something is wrong with either your MM pup, the wiring into it or the blend pot.

are the coils wired in series or parallel? thats a shame, maybe if you used the J retro to boost just the bridge pup....

ah some of the clovers look nice

Dear Warwick, I very much enjoyed your virtual tour. However you seemed to have too many basses sitting around your showroom unplayed. They look sad and are meant to be played. Just think how much happier that room would be if you gave one of them to me? thank you Luke

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1345229497' post='1775392'] Now you've complicated it all by adding the Doppler effect. [/quote] affected by the room size?

theres a trend here then. these amps are getting enough air?

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1345218770' post='1775181'] Arrived today, and quickly whipped it in, truly stellar, much better than the Bartolini pre I had installed, the options and tones are ridiculous. Shame I can't play with it more now, as I injured my thumb at work. [/quote] thats a shame. Wee question, I was looking at the East and Bart pre's recently- which bart pre was it, and what didn't you like about it?

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1345225076' post='1775285'] Or whether they are a mile away or clamped to each side of your head like headphones!! *runs faster.....* [/quote] Or if they are valve watts or solid state watts..... *runs past usain....*

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1345224912' post='1775281'] Cheers John, sounds like its time for a mini-bash round your place I know what you mean. I've been trolling around the interweb trying to find a decent power amp using this lightweight class D malarky that can put about 900w in 8 ohms 1500w in 4 ohms. Can't believe that there isn't a dedicated mono musical instrument power amp available like this. If Orange can do a 1000w Terrorbass that is basically their front end in front of a B&O power amp module, surely somebody somewhere will have thought of using a similar amp module to produce a decent mono power amp? [/quote] I guess most power amps aren't designed to be moved much, unlike musician's amp which have to be cleared on and off stage.

In my opinion. the best bridge on a P bass is a BBOT one. I would avoid anything "hi-mass"

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1345223165' post='1775255'] Fabulous! I'm sitting noodling through it at the minute (coupled with my pair of DB12's and a 1200w power amp it is 'overkill' for a practice rig but... what the hell ) and it is a great bit of kit but then again so is the TF and unless I can find a very lightweight power amp (ideally 1U), the TF will remain my main amp! [/quote] very lightweight... but you don't like class D right? So you want a big transformer in a little box. Might look like this....

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1345222389' post='1775246'] Just to give you some options Kev... I have a Warwick Hellborg 1U rackmount preamp that you can borrow. I know it isn't 'exactly' what you want but it might be worth experimenting (I have a power amp to go with it but it isn't one of the uber-light ones). [/quote] how is the Hellborg?

No one mentioned the effect the type/size of speakers used will have yet? *runs for cover*

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1345202861' post='1774891'] Don't get me started!! Luke, I need your help! [/quote] Can't help with the status but Swap you my warwick for your Jvs
