Different altogether 'ergonomically'! The Thumb's short top horn throws the first fret out wide, whereas the Dolphin is the opposite.

Recent project for me but the band will be touting its 70's show around the country in 2020!

Me (bass) - Line 6 G50 = no probs. Guitarist - Boss WL20 = soundchecks OK but 'every' gig, craps out during 1st number (gone back to GuitarGuitar to sort).

I'm obviously familiar with MM but don't know his signature sound but if it is big and thumpy then, yes the TF defo does that. I've used them for a few years now and I've owned loads of other amps in the meantime (inc Mesa, EBS, MB, Demeter etc etc) and the TF seriously kicks a solid low end when some are found wanting (live situations with a drummer/band). The only amp to tempt me away was the full valve Handbox jobbie but that arrived to me with issues and I went back to the TF.

I have run both the TF550 and 750 at gig volumes with no fan and the casing got warm by the end of the gig but not near 'hot' and that is with the amp in a tight SKB case. Saying that the fan is so quiet I used to forget if it was on or off!

I'm in Blyth but gig all over the NE

In short no! However, they are small scale and Dave (Funk) used to organise sales and shipping himself. As for trying one before you buy, it'd be a case of seeing if any BCer were local (I'm NE). There are a couple for sale used on BC (550 and 750 but the 550 is way loud enough for pretty much anyone).

Thunderfunk all the way.

As Binky-bass has said; you can buy at your leisure if it is paid for via paypal and return it if not as described (which covers a multitude of sins). I was suspended by ebay for asking to view something before I bought it, ebay reasoned and stated that they have a returns policy which means that sellers don't need to meet to view (i.e. they were scared of a private sale and them losing commission).

I should point out the band are a tribute to the 70's!

Just back from a local (festival) gig... now off to a pub gig. Oddly the pub gig is going to be paying way more than the festival but I reckon the festival gig might be the better experience; we shall see.

Playing 40 years and never once claimed on it, though I've had it on and off (corporate gig periods of my life). Can't think of a time when anyone I've been in a band with has ever claimed.

Aria Sinsonidia

I've owned 3 of the EBS IV basses (as in my sunburst above) and all have had the abalone dot inlays.

Come on... you know you can have mine Andy!

Not a Warwick product!

After reading this thread BD thought better of it!

So he was offered £1550 (turned down) and it is now down to £1400 after being pulled at £1500... odd!

He played a P bass 'back in the day' and it can be really hard to 100% attribute certain tones to a Ric or P.

It isn't the same bass but tbh I'll be a monkey's uncle if the BD SSII sells 'at that price'.

The positioning on a Warwick is way further back than on say a Fender style bass. I'll measure from the front of bridge to the back of the pup when I can find a steel rule, rather than a tape measure... assuming you are fitting a W 2 piece bridge, otherwise you'll want measurements from bridge saddle centres!

Not found better yet!
