Nice!

Setting up a Ric properly is tedious and time consuming but once you have the low action and just a little bit of delicate fret buzz it kills.

Garey nowadays works for Mesa Boogie and was replaced in march 2013 by Jesse who is at Warwick USA.

Don't know about this forum but he is active on both Talkbass and Forum.warwick.de.

Your Ric chose the wrong player. Oh and Rics sound awesome on a proper setup but you gotta dig in to pull out that tone.

Oh crap I was bored with no effects at all and threw this lot together in the little box of fx from my huge pile of stompboxes today...

Mine was actually manufactured somewhere around '99 or 2000. It has green rat fur.
Sounds really good though! I picked it up this morning.

Will add casters & handles so I can load it into the car by myself.

Adding this next week...

What is this "lightweight" crap everyone cares about so much nowadays? Not heard a single one of these class D lightweight toys produce any desirable tone! So what the amp weighs 20 kilograms, is sounds da bomb! Since when is 20kg too much for a grown man to carry anyway... Whimps.

Haha dull and muddy. Get outa here! Trace amps are renown for their clarity, punch and aggressive pre-shape tone.

This thread is becoming a wal of sound.

Thats just beautiful. I see Ross is selling the early Dolphin you sold him.

Never played a really early Dolphin, how would you describe the neck, etc?

Mine has a thick neck profile, but I got used to it pretty quick. Tbh I don't care much about neck shapes.
The one Ross is selling has a thin profile and a wide nut. Fastest playing neck on the planet imo.

Nobody on ye British bassforum liketh olde traces of Clive Button?

Holy crap-o-hoola!

Already got some mirrors in the house though...

I took the compressor off my board and replaced it with a 19" rack dualband unit for the fender amp, and use the built in SMX dualband comp in my Trace AH300-12 since my comp is ALWAYS on. Besides that I only use either my Tech21 VTBASS 2 or my MXR M80 for some OD/Dist.

There no longer is any pedalboard.

That was indeed the big idea, but I failed to produce a proper P tone so...



Anyway, back to Warwicks which are my fave modernish growlybasses.
The midrange on that SN TCS is really something else huh Wombatboter?

Aaaaand its back for repairs. 50hz hum is still there. I think it is the volume pot... Also since its last repair the cooling fan stopped working (unless it is supposed to not start turning until the amp becomes hotter?). Bummer, more waiting.

Leuk dat je enthousiast bent over mijn favoriete bas, Geert! Ze schoppen kont!

Warwick used thick necks a lot in the early 2000's, my '95 pro1 5str. Also has one. Early Dolphins and the current ones have thinner neck profiles though. Switching the twinjazz to its alternate mode makes even the slap tone growly and quite frankly gives the thumb bass a run for its money.

These basses are brilliant! ... But also rare. I'm happy to own one and have owned several before. Kept the one I like best...



This photo will give ppl an idea of its body size, rather smallish.

Today a package came in from Memphis, TN. A brand new Illuminated front and new white caps for the 12 band EQ. I sprayed one of those bright red myself.

In the meantime I had the amp checked by a tech who did a lot of work on the power section.

Amp now looks like this (ready to shake some serious butt!):

My 2000ad Trace AH300 12 GP12 is at the shop for fixing a nasty 50hz buzz.

Its previous owner decided to neglect it and take it apart, half the screws for putting it together were missing and its outer hull is gone too. I just have the 19" iron box and a 100% functioning amp.

Decided to fully restore it to its former glory so ordered me a brand new front panel at British Audio and rebuild its case by hand.

In the mean time here's some photoshop pr0n for the meanest pre-amp in history of bass.

I had to clean out the neck pocket on mine (over spary build up etc) to help with the alignment. Overall these basses do sound great but they could be finished a bit better regarding quality control, and I'm not talking about the soft roadworn finish!

That goes for every Fender instrument on the planet imo, even the American built ones. You have to take off the neck anyway to setup the trussrod to your liking so np there. While at it I put the double F neck plate on there that came as an extra with the bass.

Last night I took the Nate P for a spin in the studio and played it through my Fender TB-600 amp plus SWR cabs. The earth shook.
This bass has tremendously high output with loads of BALLS. The tone of it is one of the best P bass sounds I have heard in a long time with lots of definition and sweet midrange. Also, the instrument is completely free from any interference or 50hz buzz. The Marcus Miller sig and Ric 4003 I had to fill up with copper tape to make them more quiet but this Nate Mendel signature Precision is perfect and doesn't require any tinkering or fixing.

I'm one happy camper once again!
