  1. RBX765A model 👍
  2. I have a 2006 one of these identical to this other than it's entirely stock. I'll never sell it. You don't like this anymore? I I can't imagine being without it
  3. Sorry your plans didn't work out. It was me who traded this to Bass Direct at the start of the year after buying it used.The factory gig-bag was already missing. I like the idea of trying different basses but when all is said and done I'm just too in love with my Warwicks. For all those Stingray 5 fans, do yourself a favour and buy this bass to save hundreds on an American one (I've owned a few of those). The difference in price is no indicator to how good these "cheaper" Stingrays actually are in feel and more importantly,sound.
  4. An inch or two longer and a maple fretboard...
  5. VERY nice gesture indeed. I too hope it goes to someone who'll actually use it 👍
  6. I would have kept this bass and not traded it to Bass Direct if I could have gotten along with the 17.5mm string spacing and narrow neck. Nothing else sounds like a Stingray but personally I prefer more "land" on a neck. It's perfect for many though so it's all subjective.
  7. This was my old bass before I traded it to Bass Direct. I've had USA Stingray fivers and this is essentially the same thing.
  8. Thanks. I saw it has a 9v pre-amp in the description but I'm asking if it's active/passive switchable please?
  9. Hi dude. I couldn't tell from the pictures if the bass has any strap pins fitted. Is the pre-amp active/passive? I didn't notice a battery either.
  10. Lee650 probably meant a separate passive tone knob like the Sadowsky VTC for example.Great bass still.
  11. Too narrow for me but thanks a lot for checking
  12. Hi dude. The string spacing measurements you've quoted were taken from the bridge saddles or higher up? 14mm between B and E string sounds pretty tight. Regards. Terry.
  13. That's very helpful indeed thank you
  14. What's the nut width please? Also is the preamp push/pull active-passive?
  15. Thanks Joe. So this means the passive tone on the pre amp doesn't push-pull for passive mode. The pickups are single coil or hum-cancelling? I had my heart set on a used Sadowsky but keep coming back to look at this... Regards. Terry.
  16. Hi there. Can I please ask about the pre-amp upgrade. I know the controls for the John East but is the 2-way switch on the bass now inactive? Regards. Terry.
  17. No worries at all. If silent when panned away from the centre there's a strong chance they're humbuckers.
  18. To be honest I really don't know how to tell them apart either other than the single coil hum when each pickup is soloed. Is this something you've experienced or are the pups dead quiet when soloed?
  19. Hi dude. Do you happen to know if the pickups are single-coil or hum cancelling please? Regards. Terry.
