Prime_BASS

If I had the spare cash I'd go ahead and book.

I think if someone gets some names down and then we can see how many are definatly interested.

I love the black mages, and Uematsu.

Sones great though, but I still prefer the hard hitting original. The intro is awesome.

Or you trade my Power jazz for the musicman? Lol

it's active so has a battery compartment routed and the control cavaity is quite big.

To the top!

Great communication and trut worthy dude. Was a pleasure to do business with you. Hopefully I supply you with other stuff in the future .

Ste!

Indeed why would you eat a quorn burger if there is steak in the fridge?

And yes the PPC4x12 is a back breaker!! The ad140 head wieghs about 22kg my bass rig wieghs less than that!!!

If you did get it though you should a/b it with the ad200 to see how similar they actually are, especially how the terror is supposed to have the same pre-amp section.

I have one it's useful for those without a headphone socket on the amp head. Plus if you did like it's tone I've used it by pluging it into the CD input of an amp, pointless but it can be done .

Mine doesn't hiss or break up, but across the two very different basses I have it does sound similar with both.

These basses make me lol.

Anyone with a decent sound clip of any of these less than 3 string basses. If I ever run out of gas I'd guess these would be my last option.

I can't link it as I'm on my phone but I searched 'fender sub-lime bass' on YouTube and I watched some muzikshmidt clip. The guy is using a 2 string bass. I mean not like 2 strings missing. But the neck is 2 string width and the headstock only has 2 tuning pegs. I didn't get a look see at the pickup or bridge but the rest seemed full size. Anyone else seen this?

If wieght wasn't an issue and looks were I probably would have gone for the orange 1x15 as the orange tolex ghee me a small crisis. But after lugging around my guitar rig and being bent over at work hurts my back.

Simply put:

you have 2 outputs, one jack and one speakon.

you can connect 2 8 ohm cab, one in easy output for your 4 ohm minium and maxium wattage.

Or one 8 ohm cab to either output for around half the wattage.

Or one 4 ohm cab for the maxium wattage.

If you want the maxium output with the compact you will need a another 8 ohm cab, connected via the speakon output. I presume you have a jack to speakon cable to connect your compact? If the cab you buy only has jack inputs then you will need the same kind of cable.

The type of output socket shouldn't effect anything. If your still stuck check the manual as some amps can be odd. If you don't have it Warwick should have it on their site as a adobe PDF file download.


A lot of amps do this, I know my old svt-3 pro had one speakon output an 2 jack socket output, with a minium load of 4 ohm. So I could either use one jack socket and the only speakon or both jack outputs.

I believe the only way you'll achieve a similar loudness with those smart power ones is 2 of those 2x10s but that's expensive.

The only orange bass cab I'd feel comfortable with is the OBC 115, but it won't be as loud or light as the compact.

But lol at the bass off idea.

I dunno why but I prefer the sound of my strings when they've been on for about a month and have been played for over 2 hours a day, literally, right now my jaguar has great sounding strings in my opinion. They are super slinks and compared to when they were new they are thick and full of bass and low mids, this is great as I play with a pick in my band and I hate how brittle new strings sound, even when played with fingers.

So is there a way of killing them quick?

I've got a spare set of regulars to try some ideas on, even if its as simple as opening the crisp packet they insist on putting them in.

Also anyone else like this, I know some people who have the same strings one there guitars/bass for years, im the same my epiphone dot has had the same strings on for over a year and I like it, however some people are anal and change them every 2 weeks!

Looks awesome.
BTW Alex im in love with my compact and still luagh when people expect it to wiegh 30KG not 14kg.

Still im going for the midget as my next purchase for the same 3 way rig.

I went from that combo too to a barefaced compact.

I started with a SVT 3 pro loved the sound and features but not enough power for the compact so I sold that and got the Orange terror bass, much more power and a lot more bass response. I would suggest that but there are loads of other options, the harkte LH500 is a nice transparant valve pre-amped head but it will only output about 250 watt with the 8ohm compact so you could go for the LH1000 but I haven't seen a used one of those, and I don't know how much it would cost new.

[quote name='robthegaff' post='831086' date='May 7 2010, 10:15 PM']You could, it won't damage the amp or cab, but it's the same as turning down the volume, so there's no point really (unless you're scared you're going to blow your cab due to volume addiction).[/quote]

not likely with the compact

but thanks I'll give it a go, cause if he does get the 1000 watt beast and finds it's too loud he can always do this.

Sell cab buy a good 4 ohm one? Or re wire your current cab which wouldn't take to LNG there are probably some reside kit or an easy to do guide some where. I have an old guitr cab which 4ohm at 150w either side and 300 at 8 ohm with a flick of a switch

Compact Bigger louder sound and lighter cab, for less money than Oranges 2x12. And if you buy used cheaper than Oranges 2x10.

But if you buy it new there's the monthes wait aswell, but you don't have to pay till it's ready.

It's the same deal for the higher end squier guitars. They look sound and play a lot better than the MIM fender standards. I sold a mex standard tele to buy the squier tele custom 2, looks awesome and plays sweet. Happynesswas had. I've been thinking of getting the VMP with that humbucker.

Dunlop USA nylon .60mm, but they wear down so fast, that's considered light for guitar!! But for me it's flexibilty and lightness improves my speed slightly. Plus if I use anything heavy I notice a stronger audible difference.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='829317' date='May 6 2010, 08:54 AM']Sounds like a bit too much thump for me as well lol.
I've never liked SDQP's. I know there are loads that do but to me its to aggressive. I guess its ideal for rock though.[/quote]

yeah I'm going to see about some vintage fender pups for both positions if i can't shift it.

I'm sure the jag baritone is the same intrument as the bass VI, except new.

I've got the original power jazz bass special model, Without the painted neck, it's stupid fast, and those extra frets make the difference in playing lead bass. I dunno if the duff signature has ghe same number of frets. Plus this has the active pre amp. Quarter pounder in the P and a Duncan designed jazz pick
up. It's great if you want to be thumped, not for me though.

Love a trade for a ray 34 , but that won't happen haha.

First time I bothered with slapping was learning 'ban the tube top' by Reel Big Fish, the slap part in the chorus was easy enough for me to do, thenjust went from there.

3 guitars and a drummer. You'll find your self struggle with a 2x10 combo.

The orange bass terror is a beast, but you'll have to add another few hundred quid to your budget to get a decent enough cab to use all that wattage.

Ashdown little giant is a small powerhouse and maybe £300 used and you couldpick up a used awesome cab from the for sale section for the same monies. Although the downside is you won't get the full wattage with one cab.
