    Got absolutely obsessed with Midnite Vultures. I’d list it as one of my all time favourite LPs. I remember it getting slated in the music press which always left me bemused. Such a remarkable talent.

    That is stunning!

    @Jack have you tried DR Hi-Beams? I’ve got them on my Thumb and would recommend them.

    @Jack steel strings will be fine. You should expect some wear on your frets over the years and they can be redressed by a luthier. Bottom line is; do they sound good to you? If so, play on!

    @patrikmarky find one and play it. Be patient, necks can vary but you already know how good Warwicks are. There will be one out there for you. Good hunting!

    “Broadcast live on Friday 28th November 1985, plus the songs they carried on playing when the show went off-air after transmission”. On YouTube. Go watch it. Michael Burnett playing a Stingray that sounds amazing. What a player. What a singer. What a band! Eyes right!

    Great place. Bought a 97 Warwick from them last year. Traded a pedal too. Recommended.

    @Rusco There’s a gate on the deluxe bass Big Muff. Works a treat for me.

    @bubinga5 good points. Funk is feel thing. Funk is a radio and we all choose to tune in to our favourite stations. For me it’s the heavier, more psychedelic sounds of P-Funk and Prince. Respect to James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire but I’ll never listen to them.

    @Tradfusion good stuff! Was going to recommend using a maroon Scotch-Brite pad.

    Warwick (4 string) is my favourite, especially the older ones with the more rounded edges. An old Fender headstock feels like home, love them too. Always liked the Tobias headstocks (anybody got a picture?). And the Jaydee on here is just so classy.

    Treat yourself and it to getting a luthier to do the job. I did it to my 74 Jazz (owned since 92) and I wished I’d done it earlier. After 3 decades that bass is authentically yours! Get it done.

    Avoid the bearded smug-funk for it is not so. Get P-Funk in your earhole. “Those who know, know. And those who don’t, get funked up” - Bootsy Collins.

    Due to its pickup configuration, and therefore its versatility, Warwick saw it as an instrument that for many would be all-porpoise.

    by the marvellous Wendy Melvoin. I love Wendy & Lisa and that bassline is a particular favourite. Good call. There’s great bass all over Fruit at the Bottom. Lolly Lolly and Everday are really worth getting in your ear! Lisa put a ❤️ on a comment of mine on Facebook last week. Made my day!

    @police squad yup, that’s got p bass written all over it! Great set you lucky fella. No room for “Out of Control”?! Ooh, you playing guitar on 40? 😁
  25. mike f
    @police squad care to share the set? Might that dictate the bass you use?
