I can tell you this....When I talked about PUps change on a Warwick bass EVERYONE who has did it, in every place, on computer or real life, on every warwick model, has said just three words: "so much better!!"

Seeya everybody! I ask to you to forgive me if you found (And sure you will) some bad English errors!! I'm going to write some impressiona about my (not-so) new amp. The GenzBenz StreamLiner 900 Here's the BassWhisperere review video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-27szg61bw Obviously, there's no ever possibility to understand the real features and the effective sound of an Amp. So I will talk to you about it after an intensive use in my band! Well...before buying it I've read on many forums that STM is very mid scooped, well I can truly say: FALSE. This is another little video, by the italian store were I bought this amp, that demostrate what I wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-O7ohbUZx0 This is not a "plug-and-play" gear. It has a volume and Gain control that real sculptor of your sound and, before you can think about the eq section, there're many many many tries to do with these two knobs! This amp can give to you a real vintage and muddy sound or a giant nearly-overdriven sound or a clean and warm sound. The last one is what I like! So, with the right balance between Gain and Volume, you can get what you want. Here's the sore point: the EQ section. What real this amp lacks is a modern and efficient EQ control. It has a unique a modified passive Baxandall network for the bass and treble along with an active tube driven mid filter. The consequence is that you can hear mid frequencies only by cutting bass and treeble. So If yuu want a mid focused sound: no problem even if you want a bass-mid or mid or high-mid focused sound...but if you are in serch for a 600Hz and a 4kHz at the same time...you got a problem....and I've got this problem!! Actually I've solved this lack with an (horrible) BOSS-GEB7 pedal eq, which passes in the S/R, and I preserved the cleanm, warm valve timbre and the incredible punch that this amp has got but, for the definition and the high frequency, I've to boost on the GEB7 on 4,5kHz and surroundings. And I've to open a little bit the Tweeter of my cab (Which is a marvellous A.T.S. 4x10", an Italian brand that I will soon review on forum!) that acts on 1300Hz...an high mid tweeter! I've already planned to buy a custom EQ pedal here in Italy (There's a fantastic craftman who mades incredible pedals) but I've a custom bass under construction and....well....I'm a student and this means a lot of money I've to spend (Summer WORK?! I'm COMING!!! ). Consider that my Musical situation is a Progressive Death Metal band and I need a "particular sound" that only very high gear can effectively give...I think that this amp can give to you a perfect sound for every context. And it's quite cheap!!! 900W are very present with punch and clean dynamic....I think that for have a TRUE pre-valve sound like the STM you've to spend a lot of money more that 800€. For this price band I think that Streamliner is the best!! Experienced People, I pass the word!!

I've tried one of earlies Warwick's CS. A Corvette which was a 35" scale with bubinga body and Wengè neck...when they say to me how much it cost....my mind screamed "WTF?!?!?!" and my mouth said "Oh.....WTF?!?!?" Don't misunderstand me: really nice bass and really clean sound, growling, definite..etc..etc...(35" scale merit) but for an ugly piece of Bubinga (And i [color=#ff0000][u][b]LOVE[/b][/u][/color] Bubinga) not even pommelé and a little bit longer neck... Thanks but NO thanks, I prefer to buy a total custom bass by some good lutist!!!

Eheheh...they're Neodimium Humb with Serial/Parallel/Single switch, they're HUGE but incredibeley mid-focused. The Treeble are very musical and natural...and they're passive with an output that's more powerfull than an active set! I've made some short sample, you can they [url="http://www.i-spira.com/home.htm"]here[/url], above "[i]Matteo Salvestrini[/i]", click on the [i]SERIE SB[/i] button there are my samples! Look on the left!

Another interesting [i]Flamencoinspierd[/i] project is Ensemble Salazhar, you can hear only [url="http://www.jeroenthesseling.com/audio.htm"]here[/url] their work.

I love Flamenco too.. One of my favourite song is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dCMvZ4lBKI[/media] Absolutely foundamental bass line...but it fits perfectly! Enjoy!

Here's mt Thumb BO 6 fretless after the I-SPIRA upgrade!! Now it's has a fantastic dynamic, definite and growling sound!! Fantastic!!!

Hi evereyone!! My name's Matteo, I'm from Italy and I play, of course, bass guitar. If I've to be more specific: a 6 strings fretless Warwick Thumb BO, upgraded with a set of I-SPIRA Pickups! I play Progressive Death Metal in a band called [url="http://www.chaosplague.it"]Chaos Plague[/url] and we've a new EP out. My gear includes a GenzBenz Streamliner 900 and an A.T.S. 4x10" cabinet. I have also a Fender Jazz Special 4 strings fretless from the early '80s, made in Japan and a Schecter Riot NT 6, which is actually on sale! I attend many musical forums and I love Music and it's world! I listen to many styles of Music, Metal in primis but I love also Fusion and Flamenco. My favourite bass players are J.P. Thesseling, Sean Malone, Francois Mongrain, Lars K. Norberg, Alain Caròn, Jon Gagan and Paco De la Lucia. Well....I hope that this will be a nice journey, here with you all!!
