I just stick to root, 3rd, 5th.. 7th maybe and a few chromatics here and there.. in various orders But there’s soooo much to read on the subject! Big respect to the guys who can walk all day long 🙌 help us n00bs

I thought the P bass could be quite versatile, I’m thinking of buying one for my collection and this hasn’t changed my mind in anyway but I was wanting to hear from P owners what their thoughts are on this? 😈 The quote is from https://www.andertons.co.uk/jazz-vs-precision-bass “This is the bass you want for full-on power. The hum-cancelling split coil pickup provides a huge, full range tone that sits in a mix extremely well for a lot of styles of music. Saying that, it’s not really a versatile instrument. It does a good job for an old school, boomy sound but it doesn’t really cut it for super modern tones. It’s kind of a one-trick-pony, but it’s a great one nonetheless. Using a plectrum with this bass is ideal to get grunt out of the sound”

Wear and dings on the instrument shows that it has a bit of history.. or a few stories. Deliberately making it look worn isn’t my thing. isn't it kinda faking it? like someone in an iron maiden T-shirt that’s never heard them before but just want that rocker look 😂 u know what I mean maybe a different band but you’ve all seen it! So Relic - fair play but it’s not for me!

I’ve been thinking about getting a short scale for the collection.. I found this video pretty good https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye2CmlCF8CU I’m torn between the mustang and the Gretsch 🤔 I’ve heard great things about both..

💡 I get you now! I’ll look into getting the ha400 and check my amps will go together, if not then I’ll get the mixer as well. They seem reasonably priced.. Appreciate u guys taking the time to help 😎👍

So guitar - Fx pedal then mixer should sound better? I had a look at this and there’s only headphone inputs, how do you mean I should set it up? Sorry if it’s obvious 😂 I need it simplified a bit more 🤤

👌

Surprised that I even have to say this but.. I would play along with 1 part at a time. 😐 think about it..

Been using rotosound funk masters since my last post and.. not a thin sound for a thin string! Couldn’t be happier with them, even got another set for my jazz bass 💪

Cheers for the quick responses! So basically I could get a mixer and go straight into it with both guitar and bass and take 2 headphones out the mixer 🤟 I’ll have a look on gumtree/eBay to see what’s about

Can anyone advise me how to get 2 amps hooked up to 2 sets of headphones? I stay in a flat and want to be able to have a mate round for a jam without disturbing the neighbours.. would it be possible to play 2 amps and hear both amps in both earphones? Do I need a small mixer for this? If so does anyone know a cheap mixer that I could get

I know man I heard he wasn’t doing so good.. gutter!

Does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning of the Warwick&Framus videos?

^ good shout from this guy! I’d say keep the wick (I’m a fan of them) I got rid of a 5 corvette $$ a few years ago and it still stings a bit.. just save up and get yourself a reasonably priced 2nd hand 4 string for slapping cos I don’t want you regretting getting rid of a wick like I did 😢

Good point mate

Not a bad idea using singles.. I just ordered a set of rotosound funk masters 30.50.70.90 They seem to get good reviews so I’ll give them a go and see if thinner strings give a thinner tone as some people say! 😜Very controversial

Alright ya bunch of basstards! 😀 I’m looking to put a very light gauge string on my 4 string.. could I buy a 6 string set and just use the lightest of the set? Do you think you would have to change the nut.. (thinner grooves)? https://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/d-addario-exl165-6-nickel-wound-6-string-bass-strings-custom-light-32-135-long-scale I was thinking these and using the .32.45.65.85

Hey folks, I’m thinking about getting a 1989 Warwick streamer ltd the price is £1999. I have played the bass and it is stunnin! But is it a little over priced? I dunno what the going rate is on these.. what’s your opinions?

Right troops! Does anyone know where I can get bass tabs to thunder by smv??

I've seen a corvette standard (German) for £300 just as a private sale.. Few scrapes here and there as its been gigged quite a bit.. Also a few guys here have messaged me about basses their selling which has been appreciated! It looks like 2nd hand is the way to go cos the prices brand new are shockin 🤑

Hey guys, can anyone recommend a shop in Scotland that sells warwicks? Or anywhere?! It seems quite difficult to come across these bad boys!
