Does this mean I have an excuse to slap up a pic of my Bolin again? What's not to love?

£650 for a BO Corvette... bodes well for the NT Streamers that I have for sale! Though I am loathed to eBay them, that may be the way forward.

My observation would be that you are either bored or not inspired by your bass. If you are talking about adding a different preamp to any other bass that you might buy then why don't you just change the preamp in your Jazz 24? There are lots of basses for sale on the forum and at the right price you'd sell your bass to buy something else... my gut feeling; you don't like your current bass so get rid of it and get something else!

Gone!

The Boss pedal can struggle below C on a 4 string bass (I use one). Simple remedy... don't go below C! Seriously! Whilst playing an octaver why would you be playing in the lower register? Even if you have a phenomenal amp and cab(s) the lowest register sounds pants with any pedal (IMHO) Among others, the Carl Martin and EBS are as good if not slightly better but you'll still end up splashing a wedge of cash and be finding fault regardless. I've tried some of the other pedals (and rack units) available and tbh the Boss may warble a bit on sustained notes etc but it is no worse than most and better than units costing twice the price; learn to play around it's weakness and enjoy what it does.

Do all Warwicks sound similar, What can i pick up a Double Buck or FNA for these days? Thanks for any comments...[/quote] TBH there are Corvettes and there are Corvettes; you could essentially be asking 'what tone can I expect from a Fender [insert any manufacturer with a large range]' because the Corvette that I own is very different from say the one that 'Waldo' has for sale from the one that 'clauster' has, as much as say a P bass 'v' a Jazz 'v' Squier 'v' a CS. In the Corvette range there are passives, actives, Jazz pups, MM, MM +Jazz, $$, (to name but a few) BO, NT, cheapies, expensives... do you see where I'm coming from? Best advice... Go out and try one because they are all different (inc. neck dimensions).

PM 'bassassin' he'll give you a good idea or stick a thread in the JapCrap Spotting section, the regulars in there will know better than anyone!

All gone now!

[/quote] Agreed... they also do 'clunk' but definitely not 'clank'! Only joshing, I've got new found respect for flats. I'm not fitting them to my gigging bass but I have new found respect for them!

[quote name='wombatboter' post='505346' date='Jun 4 2009, 11:12 AM']I know a bassplayer who owns an Akai-looper and it has the nice feature that you can go back to your first layer without everything on top of it, which is very handy. Anyone know if this pedal has the same possibility ?[/quote] I have the same pedal (hence why my guitarist got one) and yes you can cancel all of the additional loops on top of the original one.

Drop me a PM if so.

[quote name='mathewsanchez' post='504011' date='Jun 2 2009, 05:19 PM']I'll take either or both if dannybuoy or stevie don't take them. Just PM if that's the case, but no worries if they're gone.[/quote] [quote name='ben_eat_pie' post='505032' date='Jun 3 2009, 08:43 PM']Can I have them if all these other people can't get the jiggy?![/quote] I've PMd dannybuoy, if he doesn't get back to me by tomorrow a.m. then I'll see if mathewsanchez wants them, failing that they are yours Ben! Can you both PM me your postal address, as I'm off work tomorrow so I'll post them off to 'somebody' tomorrow.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='503821' date='Jun 2 2009, 02:24 PM']Are they Dean Markley Blue Steels (not heard of Sadwosky Blue Steels)? I might give em a go if they're not too dead'n'dirty![/quote] Sorry I should have said they are the 'Blue Label' and they are steels... these; [url="http://www.sadowsky.com/strings/blue_label.html"]http://www.sadowsky.com/strings/blue_label.html[/url] They aren't dead and dirty, simply came on a 2nd hand Sadowsky and I prefer nickels to steels. Yours if you want them.

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='502878' date='Jun 1 2009, 12:19 PM']Yeah, I've heard it's a common problem with Warwicks. I've heard a solution is to replace the input jack with a Switchcraft one as they're supposed to be excellent quality.[/quote] +1

[quote name='Clarky' post='503367' date='Jun 1 2009, 10:28 PM']Perhaps he means too heavy metal? Slipknot, Black Label Society, countless Norwegian death metal troll bands with singers called Bjorn Fnargarlsssen etc etc [/quote] Now the direction that Warwick view their customer base lying... that is another matter!
