Oh, it's really old thing I was involved in! Great times! if you type in YT "nadchodzi czas" - it will show another song from this time. It was recorded on Sandberg Ken Taylor Imbuja, maybe it's gonna be helpful for the demo of Sandberg if anyone needs I can provide the BE Fretless soundsamples in PM as the stuff I recorded on this beauty is still waiting for release I am open to resonable price negotiations because of GAS for another bass! Cheers @NickD!! -
Hey @FunkyDude it's adjustable. from 16.5 I belive to 18.5 or more. EDIT: Yes, the stock string spacing is 16.5, I will check the maximum when I get back home.

Due to a lot of GAS, I decided to put it back for sale. I bet, I'm gonna regret this!

I've sold my SY300 couple days ago because I am not a really synth player and didn't use it much. Had V-Bass before and what I need to say is the SY300 is the best of all. It takes some time to get in habit with these OSC's. But actually will miss this unit. I am not sure but would go rather into analog-path rather than midi out. G5 is cool also, pitty that''s quite expensive nowdays.

What a stunner, GLWTS!

@Marcoelwray I have to disagree with that. Certainly we cannot classify the wood in order to find the best one. And yes - most of luthiers or widely "guitar makers" (because it seems to be not "a craftmanship" anymore rather than when someone calls himself as "the luthier" is rather "a carpenter" indeed) just don't pay much attention to the wood. And it's sad also we can see this - quality instruments cost much, these instruments have a "quality look" (or simply looks attractive) but the sound is just a different pair of shoes. They justify this point as "good wood should cost/Crisis in Africa/Environment" but as we all know - new models are still present at the market etc. So it's a simple thing: marketing costs, production costs are getting lower whereas the final product needs to be more expensive. That's a bigger issue.

@Grangur to give you a better explanation of my point of view, I'd paste this: There was "famous" experiment done by Fodera, they built three basses from *exact* the same piece of wood. You can hear the conclusion, the NTB sounds weak (to my personal taste) According to this I played on some Foderas in my life, but only two or three were "worth" that money - it's another story Personally I prefer bolt-on construction as it has the strongest (punchy) attack. Trully said it does not matter really when the instrument is involved in a band (some people sayin' this shi**y myth that "brass nut is better" or some minor improvements can be distinctive at all). In my opinion the bass guitar just needs to be judged in a band-context, because we're a part of a whole "picture" of this painting called "song"

Bump guys, I can show you the soundsamples in PM because the stuff that's been recorded is still in progress. But it's worthy instrument at all!

@Grangur in my opinion body just doesn't play. the body can help to achieve something like "taste", what means, if you have alder body from a quality wood it should sound like "mid-growling", "butter" or sth. But to my ears the neck is a foundation of sound. The body could help only. So if the bass has shi***y neck, there's no way to improve the sound instead. The construction matters but I prefer bolt-ons as these having strong attack.

aaah haven't said that! That's been my "loud thinking" actually
-
haha, I prefer ovankol instead of wenge, but this red one corvette is wenge/ash and plays well Wenge sounds warm and puffy, whereas ovankol is fast and "springy" All is a matter of taste and particular band though!
-
Ovankol neck has this "spring" in tone that I am missing since I sold thumb bolt on! ❤️
-
Aaahh forgot to mention, I really like ovankol neck in wicks!
-
First of all, thanx for video, I appreciate it! I had Thumb BO bass for "the Insolent" release of Antigama, I am missing it a bit! It has Thumb-NTIV pickups placement but had different vibe (darker). I know the V string bolt on well too. The streamer sounds like a good streamer LX should be sounding. + it has an ovankol neck. It has the same "puffy" lows and It's a quality bass!

I use random strings mate. I don't really care much I am not changing strings until I am giggin' or doing studio work. I would say that I really like GHS because these are "soft" even old. and this Red Corvette has Boomers. In the LTD I have ...Warwicks Red Label and I think that it's better to have 5packs of these than one Elixirs (SIC!) To be honest everything depends on what type of sweat you have. I am wearing out ErnieBalls in 2hours. But steel Sadowsky lasts longer, are more resistable. So I like GHS Boomers, Sadowsky and ...Warwick Red Label (but these wicks are worse now that I've used in a past sadly)

Sure thing! I'll check it out with pleasure!

aah, no matter buddy, we're all a family Back to the point, I know that maybe I am a little "unknown" here but I can vote for basses that I have/owned! Sometimes you sell basses when "they" done all things that these had to And to be honest it's nothing bad in this point!

I cannot answer shortly. I put BadAss V bridge into high-end Supra Sonic bass recently. It took all things that I didn't like from that instrument. The red one corvette has faster low's it's not so "woolly". But notice that Basstecs that I was looking for a long time for this bass do the job too. The most unacceptable thing for me is that this brass bridge costs a lot. But it is another thing that most of basses that we have in the market now are overpriced And it's not true that "better brigde" is better - for example, I put Hipshot Transtone (heavy one) into my Mensfeld precision, which I've moded too. It's a budget bass (you cannot find it out of Poland), was made in 90 by Maciej Mensfeld (some of his High Class instruments were listed once on the Luthiers Access Group). It was my second bass when I was kid. Sentimental journey. I changed everything in it and it sounds really cool (but it's imossible to resell it and I accept that). To be honest I prefered the stock Chinese/Korean bridge from 90's. It was warm/round etc. So - according to the question - it's a myth that better bridge is a point as many people say. Every bass has it's own harmness, we cannot judge until we try. First, you're too kind, I am not worthy! I got ya with this "sound of wood" but it still depends to me where the bass would be used. I played on many Warwicks that were simply a piece of stinky poo as well as Fenders etc. It's a wood, not just - you know, repeatable things. But it's another story and I belive you know what I mean. Some of them could be better when you replace goods inside. For some personal reason I could try to change harmness, take off the MECs in order to "achieve more concrete" sound to my personal taste. But I don't. Let it play with someone else, just where it will fit better because it's a descent bass at all!
-
Yup that's the point!
-
oh, to be precise: I think that this particular one is not very good for slapping. It's chambered, so it sounds a bit "piezzo". Maybe I would use it in some funky-slap songs, but I played on a better slapper I had another Corvette Standard for sale, which I decided to keep it for now. Only wood remained in that bass - I changed everything (added nordstrand pre/basstec pickups, changed the bridge for brass one) and I am using it in Antigama now. this one is more "concrete" and is sticked to the kick - that's why I prefer it more. If this Corvette LTD that I am selling would be 4string, probably I would be using it in Antigama instead - I really like that it sounds well with distortion too. And all Warwicks have strong mids, what's in my opinion highly desirable when you use much distortion. Although I realy like that the LTD is light. So if it would be a 4string bass I might keep this bass instead of the red one Standard model that I moded because it's "higher class" bass than the standard. Has better ergonomics, it's well built. I am not collecting basses, and, you know - I am not a "jazz" player much. Sometimes I buy basses only for particular "studio work" just because there's no such things as "versatile bass". I had really good Tobias Classic bass here for sale (I sold it to a friend of mine, locally) and this bass was amazing. It was designed to record, you couldn't went wrong. But it was - as most of Tobias/MTD models - just for POP/Gospel and I play mainly heavy stuff. But still - if someone needs to have a descent Warwick bass to "lighter" - jazzy - generes, will be satisfied for sure. Yup, feel free to post the samples buddy, I am enjoying with every single Warwick bass!

@Djooh this bass is specific. All Warwicks are not really well for slapping - that's obviously a matter of personal taste. I would explain it in this way: we're used to know this "fenderish" kinda slap tone. Warwick is not such a bass indeed (maybe the closest is Streamer Stage 1 model) When we talk about "chambered" basses - these are sounding a bit like a "piezo", and it's highly depending if the player has this "consciousness" of sound. Of course it will fit well if you know what your purpose in a band is. For the same reason, to me is unacceptable to play a bass without (band) context at all. Maybe some people can catch the sound when they play bass "alone". But I don't. But at last: it's only my own point of view. Luckily the world is big, and there are a lot of good bass players, who can play even on a shovel and make it useful, whereas I could not even be able to imagine that's gonna work in that way
