police squad Posted February 28 Posted February 28 As you know I've joined a U2 tributeĀ Here's another Adam Clayton bass It has such a low action Weird passive bass and treble controls. What should I do with them,Ā leave them fully up? I'll gig it tonight with a mates band that I'm depping with 14 Quote
Lw. Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Looks cool - does it sound like a passive P or does it sound like a Warwick still?Ā Quote

I was playing one of those the other day when I got my Aerodyne and Deluxe Jazzes in a trade in Manchester. Ā Quite liked the RockBass Clayton bass. Really solid and punchy sound. Ā i found the sound was at it's best when everything was turned full up, or ādimedā, as it were. Ā Congrats Edited February 28 by HeadlessBassist 1 Quote
Doctor J Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Just a passive bass and treble cut, like a G&L? Nice. Start with everything full on and adjust to taste, I suppose. 2 Quote

Ā ThisĀ I played a Teambuilt Streamer CV last weekend that had the same controls, and they were interesting. The treble control has a very noticable effect, but I thought the bass control was very subtle (at least through the amp I tried it with, which wasn't the best).Ā Ā Is that a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound in there? I bet it's punchy as hell, and fairly bright!Ā Quote

Mokl Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I had a beautiful G&L Legacy many years ago which had passive treble and bass controls. Whilst my experience may not be directly transferable to your lovely bass, as I got used to it I found I could get some realty useful tones by dropping either/both. Also sounded great with both full on, but more 'modern'.Ā Ā I'd like to try a bass with this wiring config sometime. Quote
police squad Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 lovely bass, very aggresive tone. scooped. Very loud it is I will probably change the pickup and wire it like a P bass but it needs proper strings, it's strung with weedy things the reverso is the same Quote
Grahambythesea Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I like it better than the other Clayton Sig. Warwick that youāve bought. 1 Quote

Linus27 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I tried one of these a year or so ago and I thought it sounded and played amazing. Way better than I was expecting. If I ever got back into a U2 tribute band then I would have one of these along with a Fender Jazz or Precision. 1 Quote
patrikmarky Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Iāve rediscovered my love of Warwick the last few months..have a streamer and corvette and that looks super cool shame they donāt do a 5..š¤ 1 Quote
police squad Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 here's a vid of the bass in action. Excuse the wafty playing. I've never actually learned to play this song and I was 5 or 6 pints in by now https://www.facebook.com/TheBellInnShepherdswell/videos/1713580365912285 Ā Ā 1 Quote
