I have never had a Wal or even played one I dont really like the looks of them but that is just a personal thing but everyone is entitled to there own opinion whether they like Wals or any other bass

Never been to the Gallery myself but I have heard nothing but praise for them

Lovely Jubbly thanks Dannybuoy much appreciated

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1444324094' post='2882281'] You'll want a DPDT on-on-on switch for that - I have a diagram somewhere, I'll post it up later! [/quote] Lovely that would be great I had a feeling I wanted an on on on switch but just got on off on as the nordy diagram had one of those. Anyway a diagram would be lovely thanks

Put it on an oven tray then put another weighted tray on top place in a VERY low oven keep checking it job sorted

Hi Guys I am experimenting with my Traben bass what I am trying to do is put a parallel/single/series switch in the pickup installed in my bass is a Rockfield and it has Red black green and white wires coming from it plus the ground sleeve wrap I have tried wiring it from a Nordstrand wiring diagram this one http://nordstrandpickups.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/MM-Pickup-Diagram.pdf as I cannot find any Rockfield diagrams on line I have tried both ways on the linked diagram and am not getting any joy I am using a DPDT on/off/on switch what I would like to know is does anyone know how I should wire this up? as I am a bit stuck without a proper wiring diagram. Many thanks in advance

Yes the old blue one was bloody heavy and that put me off buying one which is a great shame as I really wanted one at the time

[quote name='gazzatriumph' timestamp='1443800047' post='2877857'] I always used Fender P's but tried a Warwick Corvette $$ and loved the sound and feel, I sold my Shuker P Bass and a Fender Deluxe P to get two German Warwick Corvette $$'s and I'm well happy with them and cant see me changing. The Fender Deluxe was fine just preferred the Warwick sound. One thing though about Fenders is that I read so much about finding a good one, surely they should all be good at the price they sell for, no exceptions. [/quote] This is a very good post

I much prefer the old blue one IMO I think the West Ham logo on the front of the new one looks really cheap and tacky but might be OK for a football fan? I wonder if the new logo will get punters mouthing off at the player of this bass? because we all know football talk and beer=trouble lol

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1443635846' post='2876508'] Where there's money to be made you'll always get chancers. There's quite a few 'traders' on BC who wouldn't know one end of a bass guitar or amp from another. They just buy and sell stuff to make a few quid. [/quote] spot on traders should be banned from using the market place as they are not supposed to use it any way this is one of the reasons why I only buy from membes I know but prefer selling on eBay as there is to many time wasting pricks on BC now which is a shame

Not my cup of tea I am afraid but looks like a ton of time and effort has gone in to it

I find Warwick red labels really bright and zingy and they are good value too IMO

I think the second one is the Jake it sounds just a touch more defined and modern but I am more guessing than knowing for sure they both sound nice IMO

I think they are 4mm mate

Not long after he passed there was someone on ebay selling a ton of his amps and stuff

I think the basschat column is a great idea and I take my hat off to Sylvia for doing it but unfortunately for me it still don't feel the urge to by it just to read the BC column . it used to be a good read but I gave up reading it ages ago as it was just pretty much the same old stuff in it month in month out and so I gave up spending my hard earned cash on it (by the way how much is it nowadays?) really sorry if my comment seems negative as I know a lot of hard work goes in to the mag.

have tried to love flats but I just do not seem to get on with them and I am not really sure why I have tried a few different brands but just go back to rounds I think I like the "twang" of rounds more for the music I play but also do love the sound of flats just so mellow maybe I will try some more in the future

I bought a bass from Paul and it was just as described and I am very happy with it Paul's communication was most excellent and he packed the bass very well and sent me all the tracking details I would deal with Paul anytime Thanks for a nice easy hassle free deal mate
