GreeneKing Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Here's an early GMR made by Roman Koc in Poland. I believe that it's a Bassforce model. This bass draws heavily on Warwick traditions and carries Warwick hardware and a bubinga body. The pickups are passive MEC's, again just like a Warwick. I'm a huge fan of Warwick Thumbs because of the growl and this GMR has that same sonic base. When it came to me it was passive and it sounded good. It now has the full works John East Uni-Pre and it sounds simply awesome. This has the configureable bass control so it's not boost only like the U-Retro, well not unless you want it to be. The treble has the pull up 'zing' position and there is the sweepable mid control. In addition there is a passive tone control with a pull for passive/active and a passive blend to compliment it. A pdf of the Uni-Pre features can be found on John's site: http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/home.html 3 piece neck, 34" scale and 9.5 Ibs. Fret wear is negligible and it has a brass nut. Balance is very good. It plays and sounds absolutely lovely. Some minor dings to a waxed (Warwick again) finish. I'll be honest, since giving up performing I'm only playing bass about once a week. I have 6 great basses and it's a crying shame that they aren't getting used. UK delivery £25, collection or inspection in the Lake District. No trades please, well not unless you have a high quality tenor/baritone Ukulele or Banjo Ukulele Peter Edited February 9, 2018 by GreeneKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
