[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1335093653' post='1625546'] The Legacy strings are Rotosound Rotobass in different packaging. Amazing value for money at £7.95 compared to £11-14 for the Rotosound version. [/quote] one of my guilty pleasures is buying dead cheap 4 and 5 string sets of Legacy. I actually really really like them, keep trying others but keep coming back. Suspected they were Rotosound nickels, now I know.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1347788036' post='1804852'] It's what Robert Trujillo requested... so, I guess, it's what Robert Trujillo got. FWIW Warwick do some incredible finishes. [/quote] this is what I think. Robert asked for and got it. Job done. If you look at the Custom Shop gallery there are some astoundingly beautiful "classic" Warwicks. My main issue with Warwick is the price and resale value.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1347777587' post='1804761'] I had a German Corvette $$ 5. It was flawlessly made, just a couple of small things put me off such as the neck profile, string spacing and absence of fret markers. I think if it wasn't for that I might even still have it. I like the product but the marketing puts me off (same as Apple). [/quote] i have a $$5, occasionally after a few weeks on the Jazz I think, I will move it on. Then i play it. Since I first got a Warwick in about 89 I have just loved something about them. Back playing mine now in advance of a wee trip to the studio and its shown me again how much I love it. Still wouldn't buy one of the mental finish ones/

wow you're mental for this pedal mate. I hope Sonuus are paying attention and send you a T shirt or whatever. Great Ric too.

i suspect given what you say about price you aint in the Iron Ether market nor the £150 Source Audio market, but I am interested in this (and the IE Nimbus).

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1347203496' post='1797978'] Definitely talk to Shep on this one, he's used one for ages and sings its' praises. [/quote] Dood too.

i did quite a bit of research into compressors when I was buying a new one. Famously Ovnilab (Bongomania) has a very mixed review, with an apparent flaw/fault in stomp mode preventing him putting it near the top of his list. He knows what he is talking about and does not seem to identify the issue the Amazon review does. [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/tcnovadyn.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/tcnovadyn.shtml[/url] no talk of missing "mojo" or issues generally with digital compressors, indeed Bongo makes the point that while maybe not as quirky as some analog units, it doesn't sound digital at all. I dont know why TC discontinued. Haven't heard whether this is because of an issue. Also I note that the reviewer is using it for guitar, maybe a different impact? I am interested in picking up a 2nd hand one.

what's his bass?

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1347063590' post='1796726'] I saw them at Edinburgh Corn Exchange a few years back and they were awesome! Would dearly love to see them again! [/quote] It's Bill's tone and physicality that i love. He's a great musician but he has a way of playing that I love. i saw them at the Venue in Edinburgh in 87-88 Introduce Yourself tour with Chuck, and then Network (Tollcross) in 1990 on Real Thing tour (I am sure Sepultura supported??). I saw them many times again including some of the best gigs ever at the Barrowlands. It was great to see them again at the Corn Exchange in 2009.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1346962177' post='1795488'] As is this from the same gig. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPiqwvbegq0[/media] And Anne Dudley is the coolest person in the whole world. [/quote] that is brilliant.

one of the great moments - when i first tried my tecamp puma with my midget t compact stack, i literally cried. It sounded like what basses sound like in my head, but i could carry the whole lot in a oner from the car!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1346063286' post='1784614'] What's the problem? Get one of your kids to buy you an early Christmas present. [/quote] I can imagine the look on Mark's face when a 5 year old wee Scottish lassie comes in looking for a Take it Away deal on a Wood and Tronics 5.

cream covers, nice.

Thank Jesus I am 5 hours away

Similar things happening in academia. We have industrialised learning, producing great technicians who fill up conference after conference and journal after journal but there's very little original thought or wisdom. I ain't too worried cause I am not sure this is sufficient to suppress true genius. I am not a pro musician (or an academic) so I don't know whether all these technical experts adversely affect the system but I still buy the music I buy and don't seem to see any direct impact on the output.

cool, good job

that's a real nice live recording mate. Good sound. What's that bass? looks like a cross between a stingray and a reverend? good stuff, not been to the WRB for a while.

lovely lovely

i really really like them - i have a corvette $$5 - but think they're neither cool nor indeed fashionable. What they have is a really fantastic tone that cuts through. Suppose that means they should be cool? To my mind they look 90's.
