No. The 'reverse' TRs are nearly always on basses 91 or earlier (not encountered a 92 that is reverse) and it is defo NOT all Warwicks of this early period... just some!

If that happens, they are going straight back!

I 'think' I've just ordered x2 12 string set for £48.63... if that is for 2 sets (image shows box that states 2 sets), then it is virtually half price! @Sean @12stringbassist @Wolverinebass

Always stacked my RS210 cabs vertically and unless you are throwing each other around the stage or placing a massive, wide amp on the top (place it side end on the floor next to the bottom cab), it is perfectly stable.

It's a bit odd if it simply doesn't work 'at all'; I could understand if it were distortion, lack of output or other issues. Do both basses work OK with a regular lead? Is the plug inserting all the way into the socket? Do you have anyone local who could test your system with other basses and/or have a wireless system that you can try with your basses?

It must be starting to work but I've a feeling there is more to this!

Is the YT channel actually his? Look at his 2 comments, phrased as though it is his show.

123 followers of this thread. If each person posts a couple of times (plus gives it a thumbs down), then maybe he'll take the hint?

If this YTer is actively removing these comments I'm assuming he has researched the allegations... in which case he is implicit in covering up this scammer!

Education, education, education... maybe 'The Showcase Hull' needs some? TBH he only gets away with these scams as folk just don't know about him, if his name and the 'facts' about him are spread wide enough, he'll find it harder and harder.

My comment has been removed.

2 comments on so far re. fraud. So long as comments are factual, it'd be good if there were a few more added... just saying folks!

Can they be removed? I'll test it.

You are retaining the tension of the E A and D and losing the tension of the G BUT most B strings are of a similar tension to a G string; ergo the overall tension remains relatively similar.

You might well get away with an appropriate width round file and simply broaden what you have.

All the slots that those grub screws go into are the same size. re. a tech - you will need to set the bass up for the new tension, tuning, intonation but the one thing you've not considered is that you'll need a B string bridge saddle or the saddle you have widening BUT I'm aware that some B string thicknesses won't seat in the string ball end anchor but that might be solely down to your string choice.

Yep that's easy. As @tauzero has posted the pic and link; you simply buy one of those and put it where you present E string slot is, then move the E A D down one position.

Does your bass have this brass nut? Unless you buy specific BEAD strings, you can just buy 5 string set and bin the G... probably cheaper that way.

If you have the adjustable brass nut, any self respecting luthier should be able to take a file to broaden the shoulders of the slots OR see if you can source just the B string stud for a 5 string and then simply utilise your existing E A D but move them up 1 string. Don't buy the plastic adjuster nut as they are cack, you'd do better to get the luthier/tech to simply file you a new blank nut (do you really need to adjust it?).

Have a listen to a couple of the clean guitar amp sounds (sans cab or replace in a amp/cab mix), I think it is Placater (whatever that is) that worked for one of my set ups (still creating and comparing). I also like the sound of the GK800 and I'm using it in on various other set ups; oddly I'm not so keen on many of the big bass cab models, again I like some of the guitar cab tones or possibly the Epi 112. re. DI from Stomp - I carry a TRS > male XLR for going out to stage boxes but tbh most live engineers can sort that easy enough.

On a personal level my 'attempts' to do the 12 string justice have thrown up more questions than answers! LOL If you are in a position whereby you have TOTAL control of the FOH sound then you can go the full Tom P route and use the amplifiers/cabs of choice (roadies will transport them) and you can have DI's or mic'd cabs to suit, with an engineer who works for YOU and will mix it as you want. However... That is rarely the case for most of us and transporting gear is a consideration, as is who is in charge of your live sound and how much say have you really got? Even if you are hiring in or using an in-house engineer paid to make you sound good, sometimes (nearly always) they know what a bass should sound like (not a 12er) but you are pretty much on the lowest rung of the priority ladder and mic'ing / DI'ing multiple sources and mixing to your desired end result. I've come to the conclusion if you can get the best mono signal from whatever sources you need (pedals, splitters, Helix etc) and you can present a premixed feed to an engineer you're more likely to get close to what you want. I did a gig where I had a split signal (1 feed bass to bass amp/cab, 2 feed top end to a guitar combo) and despite my clear instructions it was apparent that during the first song the top end was muted and the rest of the gig was done with my 12 string (everything below 500hz) going through the PA with a bit of an indistinct tone. Conversely, I did do a multiband line up and the engineer bluntly asked if my bass was meant to sound like that (bit of dirt on the higher frequency split of the 12er) and when I said 'Yes', he just left it as was... result. Slightly different scenario if it is your backline sound that you are sculpting which will either be just for your benefit (in which case see above re FOH) or you are in a small enough venue that your backline is carrying the bass to the room. I'm a new advocate of the HX Stomp and I have it set up for some global EQ at the start > active split > 1st path is below 500hz and is processed very little other than an amp (no cab) / 2nd path above 500hz is passed through an OD set quite subtle (grit rather than distortion) > these paths are then blended at a vol/level to suit. I was considering sending path 1 to a separate output than path 2 which could be sent to 2 power amps/cabs/combos OR the 2 paths sent to 2 desk inputs... but would the engineer blend to 'my' liking? Maybe best to just give engineers a premixed signal and a 2nd premixed signal could be sent full range to a bass rig for on stage monitoring. As I say, more questions than answers! LOL

I know of whom you speak!

Can I assume this is for a Cheap Trick tribute in the USA? I only ask as I thought I was the only UK bassist in a Cheap Trick tribute (as opposed to someone playing some CT songs)... and much though I'd love it, I didn't order that bass! 🤣
