    I don't think Warwick's are really stocked anywhere in the UK anymore. It certainly doesn't seem so. And even if there is anywhere that does, I'm sure even then they don't get sold due to the astronomical pricing.

    I maintain that Trace is still a massive name in the bass world. Someone needs to buy the rights to it and bring out some modern products with the Trace DNA. A micro head with the UV light would sell by the bucket load! If someone could condense the sound and features of my old GP12 SMX into a portable, high powered package, well I don't think I'd ever need another amp.

    Sold!

    Bump!

    For sale is my Vintage VJ74 fretless. Bought new 3 months ago but I just don't use it. The bass is as new apart from some light string marks on the fretboard. Really nice quality and great sounding. Super lightweight also, I haven't weighed it precisely but it's easily sub 8.5lbs (feels around the 8 mark). Not a lot else to say really! Collection is preferred from either Chipping Norton or Worcester (that way you can check it over and be satisfied) I would be willing to take a little bit off to contribute towards your petrol picking it up. Otherwise I have shipped before but I always find it a massive ballache locating a box of the required size! So you may have to wait a bit if we were to go down this route. Cheers for looking! edit - I'll post some more pics later through Photobucket but it appears to be down at the moment!

    100% the song. That's fundamentally what it's all about isn't it. I can't listen to a lot of the bass players that get mentioned on these hallowed pages as I just can't stand the genres/songs they feature on.

    My actual old bass I've been searching for, for nearly 10 years! Wonder what stories it's got to tell! Sadly I don't have the finances right now to purchase (plus I sold it for a lot less than he's asking and it was in mint condition when it left me) If anyone buys this keep me in the loop and give me first dibs!

    [quote name='fluffo' timestamp='1477142037' post='3160116'] What are peoples views on the bh range, tone prints aside. [/quote] My BH550 is clean, direct and very crisp sounding with massive amounts of volume on tap from a true 550w (unlike the RH series). The intelligent EQ system is also brilliant, very musical sounding. Tuner and mute switch are also massive boons on stage. The Toneprint are great (although I personally find a lot of them a bit useless). It has great build quality and finish.

    Power Windows by Rush. Pure Wal. Sounds unbelievable!

    There are no delays or reverbs for the BH series as of yet. I just use Spectracomp and tubedrive!

    [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1476826290' post='3157676'] I believe ive just seen a V7 on Jools Holland. It looked (to my old eyes) like the bass player with the Temptations was using one. Could be wrong through as i dont really know my basses and haven't seen mine for a good few months. [/quote] I thought it was too.

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1476801468' post='3157360'] Get proper ones. You cannot get new ears. I am talking from bitter experience. [/quote] I use the boots foam ones, they provide a 30db cut I believe. That's pretty good as I understand it? I could of course be horribly wrong!

    I'm not a fan whatsoever of nickels (although I did use them on my Modulus Flea). Even out of the packet, they just feel dead and lifeless. As Ghost Bass mentioned above, fresh, they sound like steels do when it's time to change them. I love the harmonic richness, punch and detail of steels although they can vary massively on feel. D'Addario Prosteels and Flexsteels feel relatively smooth to me, whereas Rotosounds are horrendously grabby (almost tacky) and harsh. IMO, YMMV and all that.
  14. 40hz
    I think that is a really cool looking bass! I think it'd look even better with more vibrant colours.

    I'll begrudgingly share my amp if I need to but my basses are totally off limits. As others have said, I'd never even ask someone myself if I could have a go, etc.

    [quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1475524505' post='3146689'] For a rock band it is hard to beat a Spector. Queensryche, Alice in chains, Skid Row, Cannibal Corpse, Judas Priest and a host of other well known and iconic rock bands' bassist all used and still use Spector basses. I'd say you go for a EURO 4. It has PJ pickups, active electronics, slim neck, contoured body. They'd fit into your budget even new, but used they go around 800-900 GBP (or less sometimes) It will give you different tone options compared to your P bass. [/quote] I second this. My Euro 4 was the best bass I've ever owned and I miss it dearly. Tone-wise IMO, they are utterly untouchable in a rock setting. Snarl, crispness, presence, bags of punch and a focused bottom end. Absolute bargain at the price they go for.

    John Entwhistle-lite.

    I use an NY122 in conjunction with a TC BH550. It's a superb cab that easily provides sufficient bottom end and power while staying clean at high volume. I've used it on some big outdoor stages to great effect. A real 'One cab solution'. For what it's worth, it's beautifully built too.

    So painfully generic. Doesn't float my boat at all.

    Warwick Streamer Stage 2. Played one years later and really didn't like it.

    Insane pricing.

    Bump.

    2009 model with the revised profile neck, So super slim (almost Ibanez SR like). In almost mint condition barring a couple of haze marks on the finish. Complete with soft case and Warwick user manual. AAA Flamed maple body with Ovangkol neck. Wenge fingerboard. Bell brass frets. JAN3. MEC pickups and 2-Band preamp. Very lightweight at around 8.5lbs An utterly phenomenal bass that I just don't use anymore due to the acqusition of a stonking Musicman SUB that suits my disco/funk covers that little bit more. No point in having this gorgeous instrument sat around doing nothing. Not interested in trades unless it's a mint and lightweight Fender Marcus Miller. Would MUCH rather collection or a halfway meet and would be happy to accept a little bit less to pay for your fuel. I am based in Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire which isn't far off the m40 so it isn't a tough trip by any means. Cheers for looking! Edit -No idea why the pictures have orientated the wrong way, will post up higher res shots as soon as poss.

    I bought a bh550 on Doods advice and couldn't be happier. Clean, clear and crisp tone almost to the point of being dry (but that's exactly what I want sound wise). Tonnes of headroom and power on tap with excellent build quality and finish. Useful little features like a mute switch and the toneprint system only sweeten the deal. Highly recommended.

    Argh! I'd love to buy this back. Let me see what I can do.
