    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='382175' date='Jan 16 2009, 11:37 AM']Does it say "Custom Shop" at the top of the headstock?[/quote] Its the offset body logo that you only get on Jazz basses It is a nice looking bass but not genuine - its definitely a Fecker Imprecision

    When I was playing 12 string bass I ran it into an Owen Bass Gremlin which has 2 outputs -OD and clean. The clean signal went to my usual bass rig and the overdriven sound went to a Trace Elliot TVT9 guitar amp (which I still have). You can also take a feed from the effects send to the input of another amp if you want so there is no need for a splitter box.

    I converted a tired bolt on rick copy to a 5 stringer and put an EMG 35DC pickup in the bridge position and it sounded fantastic.

    I prefer a more dirty "who are you looking at?" tone and I get that in barrel fulls from my cab. Don't think that these cabs are proper la de da, where shall I place the salad fork mama? stupid crap. These are the bollocks. The bollocks - these are the Bon Scott of bass cabs

    exactamundo - guitars need valves. basses do not, but they are nice to have

    So how was the amp? Wait for it------ haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa

    We did this as a request one night. I think its the kind of song that should be busked unheard than perfect swatty bum lick. Watch Pulp Fiction and you should've heard enough to get you by. Go for the jazz man. Jazz hands will get you going. Jazz to me = interesting but incorrect lines that the audience aren't aware of.

    Well, I've always loved the bleach blonde thumb so we could go halfers on a bid. Or we could if i had more than 2 bob to my name

    Over on the Warwick forum I've discovered 4 options: Buy strings with a tapered low B File the slot in the saddle so standard strings will fit Crimp the ends of the strings to allow them to pass through Buy a new tailpiece that allows you use standard non-tapered strings I think I would prefer the first option.If you plan on keeping your Corvette for a while or even plan on changing to another 5 string Warwick, I would probably choose the last one as you can take it from bass to bass I'm surprised Warwickhunt hasn't been here yet as he's owned most models as well as spectors

    Once broken in, the1212L kicks major ass. Sometimes seen as very midrangey, you can add in a load of bass with no farts. I'm going to be using mine this weekend with my latest 5 string acquisition.This will be the very first time I have used it with a 5 string. I do vaguely remember reading somewhere that someone had a 1210R which they reckon sounded very much like a 1212L but that would've been one of the models that i have before Jorg started using the new drivers

    The big problem I had was the actual part just past the ball end fitting into the groove on the tailpiece as regular strings can be too large to fit through there. The string also needs to taper quickly after the nut so as not to snap when the thick part goes round the tuning post as I discovered and did.

    That website's fantastic but I'm still curious what this is going to be as I don't think many people will want big holes cut in their basses and big metal grills installed.

    One of my favourite basses was an Epiphone Thunderbird. If you can live with the neck dive it has a fantastic slim neck
  16. Delberthot
    All the cuts look like they were done with a hacksaw. Lot of weird angles and that neck plate looks like it was made in metal work class

    Your manual tells you that Black & Yellow label strings come with the tapered B as standard [url="http://www.warwick.de/media/manuals/Basses/WWBassManual_EN.pdf"]http://www.warwick.de/media/manuals/Basses...ssManual_EN.pdf[/url]

    I'd personally go for one with wheels like the Ibanez. my Gold Warmoth weighs enough on its own

    This is going to look the bollocks when its finished

    If you buy this, you'll have all the big bands gunning for you :brow: I didn't have a coat

    If this happens I'd definitely be in. How about we each give you £11 out of the goodness of our hearts - you donate £1 from that to charity and that £1 donation entitles us to a charity raffle entry? Would it be feasible to set up an account whereby members put in their £10-11 or whatever - if the bass fails to generate 100 people interested, the game's a bogey and that money could be used by those members towards the next raffle? That saves Thunderthumbs from having to refund, say, 84 Paypal payments if it doesn't follow through. Next raffle, you have 40 people from the last raffle interested plus another 60 new takers - this one goes ahead and the jobs a goodun. The remaining members are free to keep their money in the account or withdraw it (providing it isn't going to put anyone out of pocket) I'm no legal beagle so perhaps someone who actually knows what they are talking about could come to my rescue.

    Have a look around, there's plenty of info on here. Personally, I'm using a Genz Shuttle 6.0 head and Schroeder 1212L cab which, combine,d comes in at around 58lbs and could go louder than my guitarist who has a 120w Peavey 5150 which weighs as much as a small village if I needed to. Once you've had a look, you'll realise that it has little to do with watts and more about how efficiently your cab can convert the power to sound

    I use my gold Warmoth with both my wedding and rock bands. I need a clean sound for the wedding band as we have a drummer, guitarist and keyboard player so I don't want to be lost in a mushy bassiness. I like to have an overdrivey type sound with the rock band as a) it is the kind of sound I prefer and it fills out the band as there is only the drummer, guitarist and me. I don't like pedals or mucking about extensively with controls so a knob or switch would suit me. Before going down the lightweight route, I was seriuously considering an all-valve amp but the weight out me off. I would definitely be up for something like this. I'm very interested to see what you have in mind

    I want some doritos

    There are a lot of basses for sale on here that I would love to own, especially the Duck Dunn. There are at least 8 or 9 others I have spotted. There are also about 5 speaker cabs as well including the big Schroeder Cab that WoT is selling and the Aguilar Tweed number as well. I'd rather not go round PMing everyone and getting other peoples hopes up of trades so if anyone here has a bass or cab for sale here that they would like to trade then let me know. I'm going to be in Southport in 3 weeks time so if posting was an issue for you and you don't live too far away from there. that is, far enough for the missus to complain seeing as we're on holiday, then let me know and we can work something out.
