    How to get this tone on my warwick?

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1175426' date='Mar 24 2011, 11:50 PM']I disagree, I think it's mostly (or all) the front pickup with the tone flat. Streamers sound pretty middy on both pickups but the bridge pup is much more nasal than that.[/quote]

    Yeah, i played BB's Ash Corvette with East Preamp about 2 days ago, so I was trying to advise how he's going to get the sound from his bass...

    Shouldn't be too difficult to dial in with the added options he has to hand.



    Potter - The bass is lovely, take it from someone who misses a Warwick Corvette and sold it for knob all, it's worth hanging onto.

    The way my back has been since an odd train seating related incident...long story.

    And going from 3 basses in the 10-11lb mark to a CS Jazz at 8lbs, i'm thinking as light as possible at the moment.

    Heavy gear is a pain in the arse, and i've decided to worry about what i'm playing rather than what through.

    I was very excited to see the new Roland Bass cubes have a D.I. Out from the 60w model upwards. And they sound good enough too...

    If I didn't have the dream fretted Fender to pay for...it'd be here.

    I also have 2 Farida Fretless Jazz's i specced being released to me from their rep soon which i designed, so there won't be much space for this as i'll be expected to play them for fretless moments...

    It's such an amazing bass.

    don't buy one?

    Edit - that was a bit terse.

    Fender Custom shop basses are really a different thing.

    I've played 1000's of Fenders, and there are more good than bad.

    Recently i've owned 4 Jap Fenders, 2 Mexi Classic series and 1 USA Vintage Reissue. And they were all great, i've just settled on a Custom Shop Jazz, and got rid of pretty much everything else.

    The other bass is a 28 year old Squier. And that's ace too.

    edit 2 - still makes no sense.

    Fender Japan and Fender Corona don't use the same lumber yard for theit woods, etc etc.
    The vast majority of Fender Japan stuff comes without a gigbag, let alone a nice ABS Moulded case.

    There are more reasons than are worth going into, but you know, find a bass you like within your budget, and if it's made on the moon, what does it matter?

    Shame, loved my Warwick, got a lot of time for their gear, but they don't have pump out the garbage too.

    Musicman Stingray with Piezo and Status neck "SOLD"

    Hi guys,

    This bass was a special order originally placed by me with Musicman. I think it took about 16 weeks to arrive, and i was made up when it arrived.

    The grain of the Ash on the body is really tidy and even, and the bass is not too heavy at all.

    I think at the time I paid £1400+ for it. The current list for one of these is a lot more than that now.

    The typical Stingray sounds, plus the added versatility of the extra pickup make for a fantastic and very useable bass. The Piezo is really good for acoustic moments, and with a bit of twiddling and palm muting, you can get some decent upright-esque sounds.

    Would love to hear it with the Graphite neck! It really was special enough with the original neck!


    If i wasn't in sales mode too, i'd have this back.

    Best of luck with the sale Mike - any potential buyers rest assured; a top bloke to deal with.

    EDIT - Just for the people who don't know controls are vol/pickup blend/treb/mid/bass

    They're interesting, but about £1700 i think.

    Thy look like some of Carey Norstrands non-Jazz like instruments, which is interesting as there are some new SR 'Premium' models with Nordstrand fat singles on them, and Nordstrand Eq's, for about £850, which look fantastic.

    Now it's on the 'bay on my brothers account (he has a history of selling music gear on eBay, and i don't).

    Hope somone from here ends up with it, a truly special instrument.
