Thought I would throw this into the Hive for discussion, It's kinda been on my mind for some while, however, I have no technical background on this. I've used most basses and gear over the years, but always seem to return to a late 90s Warwick std, these are excellent but were known for having a MEC pickup with low power output, this never bothered me, as a decent amp and FOH support were always available to me this bass just seems a "Magic Wand" and is more musical, than anything else I've used Ive also recently read that Carole Kaye never had her volume pot on full as cranking it back a touch "sounded better" I even thought I could be that less power = more compression, although thats probably drivel, but its a more balanced musical sound than my other gear, Ive owned high output Fender and Ibanez amongst others. SO, is there a case for low power pickups? vintage stuff still seems highly desirable, or am I talking bollox again lol Like to know thoughts J

Massive love for SWR Stuff, recently bought a workingpro 12 combo, immaculate and with a custom cover for £140, its already done 30 or so gigs on theatre stages, perfectly loud enough for me to hear it (obv needs pa support) and love the damn thing, great sound, looks great, I'm chuffed to bits with it,

If you assign them left and right, via some free software, rather than pan them, it will sort the bleed , enjoy

I know, there isn't one, but having seen the success of the Coventry Music Museum recently, Occurred to me it would be a great hands on idea, Appreciate we have virus issues etc, but in principle, a home for all the prototypes, even famous basses, amps, stories, players, even a meeting place for product launces (The National Motorcycle Museum is brilliant for that kind of stuff as an example ) meet ups and talks, Just a dream, but any thoughts??

UK Gigs as normal for now, Guessing Belfast next week is now off (Ulster Halls), expecting the update today,

interesting topic, Its a tough call if your in that position, I walked off Scunthorpe Steelworks one day and just never went back, financial suicide, luckily as I was now available, doors opened, its a brave decision tho
