Hello and welcome. I know St Agnes well. I have have played the Driftwood many times.

Hi Ray, For keeping fretting fingers covering the string it is practise, practise, practise! slowly at first, don't try and go too fast. I think practising with a metronome is essential also. I really like the squire vintage modified. It came with an updated bridge from the previous owner, a Gotoh. I have recently upgraded the pickups to Bare Knuckle hand wound J pickups. The sound is excellent now. I have had zero issues with earth problems with the original pickups or the Bare Knuckles. It is a really nice bass. I am a Warwick fan, I think they sound great. Not to everyones taste though. For a bluesy sound I don't think you can wrong with a Fender precision. I am playing in [url="http://www.pointblankcornwall.co.uk"]Point Blank[/url] at the moment. I have been with them for a few months after coming out of a 5 year retirement from playing any bass at all. The set list is classic pub rock covers. We have good fun and don't take it too seriously. Dean.

Hope you had a good gig Mr P, wish I could have attended the gig. Seeing the Blockheads and GP in the same evening, awesome. The bass line from Hit me with your rhythm stick is sublime.

Hi Ray, welcome. I am relatively new here too. Been gigging around Cornwall for the last 25 years on and off. If you want any tips just ask. I am happy to help.

The guitarist in my band did it last night! He stomped on his octaver pedal, looked at me with a big grin and played what I was playing. I tried ignore him.

His feedback is 50% now: copied from his feedback on ebay: 'seller contacted me and wanted winning bid price raised before he would sell. Member ID musicman2322 bass guitar warwick stage 2 streamer (#130555047654)'

yes, just reported.

I use one for gigging and its fine. Rarely get the master volume above 2. We are not a quiet band either! They are heavy. Mine is on heavy duty castors so its not really a problem. Thinking of moving mine on soon. pm if you are interested,

At the moment I am gigging with an ancient Trace Elliot 4x10 combo, (with casotrs, phew!) There is nothing wrong with it at all. I play in a fairly loud band and the master volume rarley hits 2. It will prob go on for years. There is no need to change it. I am perfectly happy with it yet I want to change it. No reason, just fancy a change.

Thanks for posting. I am a fan.

I couldn't find previous feedback for nic so this is his first. I bought a warwick gig bag from him this week. He posted it the same day I paid and it turned up super quick. Top man. Thanks, Dean.

I guess its a genuine made in China one.

Excellent test. Thanks. I have used the boss one for years, trouble free, and was thinking of treating myself to the Ashdown one. Not now!!
