look for a second hand Corvette Standard. Most models are active/passive and come in the natural swamp ash or bubinga. I've had one since '98 as my main bass and they're brilliantly versatile and have the warwick growl we all know and love.

played the Astoria on wednesday. AWESOME experience. [url="http://www.vimeo.com/1160766"]http://www.vimeo.com/1160766[/url] - video evidence!

i'm a big warwick fanboy too. never looked back. i've noticed a big drop in 'famous' rock bassists using warwick (lostprophets, story of the year, incubus, etc etc), wonder why that is? I rarely see other Warwicks when I play shows these days :-( I would literally kill for a streamer stage II and the custom jobbies that Stuart Zender had back in the day were amaaaazing.

[quote name='Josh' post='208990' date='May 29 2008, 04:05 PM']Love it, played in thrash covers/original band for a while, got the shirts. Though I'd never do it again, maybe a few Metallica covers for kicks. In fact, I played a good amount of 'Tallica songs for the first time in 2 and a half years just the other day, it felt quite humbling actually. When I am inspried to write metal-esque stuff, I tend to draw influence from Mudvayne and Protest the Hero, seeing as the metal side of my bass-vocabulary is a good mix between the 2. Technical yet groovy and melodic.[/quote] YES. the guy from Protest is AMAZING. also, I love Brian from A Wilhelm Scream (although they're *technically* a punk rock band). gratuitous tapping video: [url="http://vimeo.com/629705"]http://vimeo.com/629705[/url]

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='208680' date='May 29 2008, 10:52 AM']GK MB150e combo. And I did it twice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bass wise........the Mex Jazz I've just done up. I still have it , I'm not selling it , but I just know I will at some point and then regret it!!![/quote] aaahhhhh I had one of those too and wish I still had it. had the ickle bag and everything! chorus was a bit useless, but it was awesome.

I just did a gig with a thrash band called the quarry to fill in for their bassist who's in the middle of leaving due to wifey commitments. Tons of fun but everything was tuned down to drop C# and I *really* needed a five string for it. flap flap flap.

oooh I had a Yamaha BB1100S too in sunburst purple that I foolishly sold in 1998. I miss it

should never have sold my Eden WT-400 with Eden 4x10. never let your missus persuade you to let go of gear because [i]'there just isn't enough room'[/i] never again

mine hasn't ever since I tried a Streamer Stage II daaaaamn I need one of those

Stu, if this metal band thing I'm pondering over works out then I'm all over that Katana. thanks for the comments guys. Jake, expect a PM shortly!
