Not likely that anyone in the UK would bid on this item but if you are considering it be aware that the picture on eBay does not relate to this seller's item!

That pic' was used by a UK seller months ago, so you may want to ask questions.

Not a major issue but I ordered a couple sets of strings, ear plugs, valve etc. and it took 2/3 weeks

In simple terms...

The physical bridging thing is internal to the amp and usual set with a switch on the amp, it combines the outputs of a stereo amp to a single higher powered output.

I've never found bridging an amp that useful as they bridge to an ohmage that is normally greater than the cabs you are using i.e. most bassists have a 4 ohm cab or pair of 8's (giving 4 ohm) and if you bridge a typical power amp it bridges to 8 ohms. Hence you can only use one of your 8 ohm cabs NOT the 4.

That is a generalisation but if you are going pre/power you may as well get a power section that can drive each side of the output at the kind of wattage you need.

Is it as easy as cutting and pasting from BT?

Let's try...

Nah, had to edit!

I've only dealt with great people since trading on BW, but warickhunt is the best guy I've dealt with by far. Arranged special delivery for me to ensure I got my package on time, and when I unwrapped it, it was as if I bought from a store.. even gave me advice on what settings worked for him and great communication throughout. Wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to buy from him again, definitely recommended. Cheers!

It's been an absolute joy to deal with John. I had a long and very pleasant chat
over the phone, everything was handled speedily and the packaging can only be
described as a labour of love. I'd be happy to do a deal with John any time, and
I can't recommend him highly enough. Top banana! Hopefully we will get the chance
to meet up one day so I can thank him in person.

Just to say that John in no way lives up to his Bassworld name.

Friendly straightforward transaction as discussed - no probs!

Thanks!

John's a great guy to deal with - I always find it refreshing when things go as easily as they did. A really friendly and smooth transaction made all the better by some good online and phone chats about the vaguaries of bass buying! Looks like the hunt continues however John!

The bass has no more or less output than a guitar so you can't destroy it unless it is cranked and you whomp away on the low strings. Keep it turned to low to moderate volume and it'll work but it'll just sound cr*p... unless you are trying to get an overdriven sound. Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick used bass and guitar amps with his 12ers but he had separate outputs for different pick-ups etc. (never got my head around if that could actually make any difference).

It has been asked, what is the purpose of the guitar combo?

Can I vote multiple times if I own multiple basses?

<EDIT>

Obviously not! So I'll just say...

Warwick, Warwick, Warwick, Warwick, Warwick, Warwick, Warwick and ummm a Warwick.

One UK distributor/supplier is SHX Music. Never dealt with them but they carry stock. WoT's cab retails @ £802 for the light version (£759 standard) but I bet you could haggle!

WoT kindly let me try his cab and though I am notoriously difficult to pin down about describing an amp or cabs tone, I can say that this think can be heard from wherever you stand in a room and so long as you aren't leaning against the back wall it appears to throw a 'consistent' tone to every part of the room (i.e. sounds the same @ 3' as it does @ 30').

I remember The Jam from the first time around and BF did indeed use a P bass and in the earliest days a Rick copy (Ibanez I believe...). Don't think it said in 'Jackie' or 'Smash Hits' what his bass rig consisted of

Sold stuff when we were BW and BT so if anyone would care to update I'd appreciate it... I think

Which alien are you then??? [/quote]

Hi Missy T,

I'm the focused one (Ha Ha) with the REM look going on (hadn't consciously thought that till I looked at that picture again).

This was either Mrs WH trying out a few ideas for web shots at a recent rehearsal or the lads are all 'kin aliens!

[quote name='machinette' post='514' date='May 17 2007, 04:46 PM']Do you require a certain "spec" [/quote]

It has to have a pulse and hair that isn't 'quite' as nice as his... actually the first ones not strictly true, so long as it's still warm

Oi 'Picky'!

...couldn't think of anything constructive and it was begging to be done

John. Another Geordie.

Still playing the same basslines that I learned 27 years ago (well they were a couple of good ones after all) and see no sense in learning a new one

Still collecting/refining my taste in Warwick's since my first one... years ago.
So if I can help anyone with anything Warwick related (especially earlier NTs) I'll try and if you have a spare one give me a shout!

Cor blimey can some one turn down the lights (works on several levels that)

BIG thank you guys and a pat on the back and group hug all round.
