[quote name='G-77' post='260982' date='Aug 12 2008, 04:38 PM']well it seems there it now a MK2 KB [/quote] Hmmmmm it just dosen't look as humble as a King-Bass IMO, and probabally sounds exactly the same as one as well. But ah well, he's the seemingly never satisfied King

Quite intrested in trying out a set, just wondering if anyone on here has tried a set, if so, are they bright and zingy?? Thanks Guys. Josh

[quote name='Stockholm Syndrome' post='259188' date='Aug 10 2008, 11:30 AM']Lovely Stage II! And the 535 isn't bad either [/quote] The SSII is even more amazing in the flesh, and sound that bit better when tuned a full step down

[quote name='lee650' post='260474' date='Aug 11 2008, 11:43 PM']Hey Josh Dont like the picture your painting of the eden sound , EBS td650 and proline 4x10 best rig ive ever used period, and ive had a few, as mr ferret pointed out, the brightness can be eq;d out and it still sounds clear as a bell and warm, gorgeous really miss that rig definately my sound, not for everyone though. Just to say, I had a good 3 hour stint with pretty much the same EBS rig I'm getting very soon, a Neo 2x10 and Neo 2x12 and a TD650 head. I tried all 3 of my basses through it, and was 100% happy with everything I was hearing, it's exactly what my Eden isn't, it's bright, it's warm, has the sizzle and zing, and everything else in between. And at high volumes it was consistent and clear, as I expected. And it was pretty much with a flat eq, besides a little cut on the treble and the tweeters, and little treble cut on my basses. Even my King-Bass with some nigh on dead strings sounded good, but my 535 and SSII sounded perfect:-)[/quote] Sorry if it came across a bit pessimistic Lee, we tried the 550 through his 2x10 and 2x12 individually and together and sounded much much better than through my 2 4x10's. It sounded more brighter and much more punchy and the zing was much more apparent, so through your accugrooves I can only guess it'll sound that bit better than the Neo 2x10 and 2x12 But the TD650 sounded f***ing amazing!

[quote name='Captain Bassman' post='260887' date='Aug 12 2008, 03:08 PM']+1, great album for bassers! LJ's bass work is always great and Dance With Me is a great slappy line but IMHO the best bassline on the album is Bobby Watson's masterpiece on Rock With You. Sheer class![/quote] +1, Dance with Me is alright, to me it sounds a bit messy and his tone is a bit much, where as the groove of Rock with You is just perfect. Even though MJ's later stuff wasn't exactly groove laden, they are still great to play along to, songs like Human Nature, Who Is It? etc....

I worked out the title track and most of his later stuff from the Essential Michael Jackson album, Off the Wall is so fun to play

[quote name='Marcus' post='259407' date='Aug 10 2008, 05:06 PM']I plugged my old Kingbass into my EBS Rig at the time (TD650 & pair of neo212) sounded horrible !![/quote] I'm knackered then.

[quote name='ziggydolphinboy' post='258913' date='Aug 9 2008, 04:36 PM']Hi everyone , i want to upgrade sell my 4 string its a fender jazz bass plus, i was just wondering wether to sell ot trade for a warwick or status any thoughts? kindest regards ziggy.[/quote] Well it depends which Warwick or Status your after exactly, say for example, if you can get at least £500 for your jazz, you could easily get a second hand Corvette, Streamer LX, Streamer Pro-M, Streamer or Corvette Jazzman, or a Thumb B-O if you look in the right places. But as I said it depends what you can get from the jazz, if you only manage to get about £300 then you will struggle find a proper Warwick for that price, if so then Warwick Rock Bass would be an option. I can't necessarily vouch for Status though, alot of S1's and S 2's go at varying prices, and then there are the other models (Energy, Empathy, etc...) which I'm not very familiar with. But still just keep your eyes on the for sale section, a good few of the basses I've noted are up for sale. Are there any specific Warwick or Status basses your after?

And it's not necessarily the first letter.

Come on man, who else on here is more in love with a certain piece Trace Elliot engineering, maybe Rayman but my guess was on Ped as soon as you said "And i dont think most of you will believe he's parting with it!", and the combo happens to be loaded with valves and tubes Tell you what man, I've just secured a deal myself on a new head, and I bet I could make mine alot harder to guess

Ped's head?

[quote name='ste_m3' post='258874' date='Aug 9 2008, 03:50 PM']Would you like to inform everyone how you got there! Good job [/quote] Happily Sir Tray + Cellulite = Traycellulite Man could've made it harder!

I'm guessing a Trace Elliot maybe.

It's great to see Manring in a band situation, just letting the song breathe, and his tone is just right.

Just a simple Black Beauty King-Bass:

Ahhh let's hear it for Dirk, one last time: That is the Incubus that will never come again

Nic eone man, also have a good time gigging with Evita!

[quote name='Matt_UK' post='255396' date='Aug 5 2008, 02:03 PM']Blimey Josh, thats a sweet SSII...and that 535 is gorgeous as well, what wood top has it got? Spalted something...? (at a guess) Maple? G'ah...I knew it... Bad GAS [/quote] At a guess, I'd say Splated Maple as well, but I actually don't know, wish I knew where to find out, and the spalted top came as a nice little suprise actually .

*Up-Date* My 1998 (Sorry John ) Warwick Streamer Stage II 4 String: I love it, it's so smooth and comofortable, and the tone is exactly what I was hoping for!! And heres the 18volt pre-amp, I'll be damned if someone can guess what it is: It's feels awesome to have a (Even Better) Warwick again Also, that makes a 3rd bass that is has an 18volt pre, eight 9 volts between 3 basses
