advice

I am not a bass player so I need help. My kids want a bass, I am looking at a trade with a person for a Warwick Streamer. From my research here I assume that some streamers are regular Warwick and some are from the Rockbass line which is made in China. I know some good guitars are made in China...

Hi guys, I'm getting a ProFet IV and a warwick Cab very soon... I believe it's a WCA 115 Pro.... Maybe (I'm not entirely sure) The only details I've found on the net are: Solid-state amp head, 400 watts RMS into 4 ohms, MOSFET, 19", 2U Extremely low-noise input section with gain...

Alright guys, I've sorted myself financially for a new bass, amp and possibly a bunch of effects pedals... What do you guys use?! I've spent my lunch break today looking at Boss multi-effect units. Particularly the GT-10B: The ME 20B and the ME 50B I'm pretty new to effects...

I purchased a new 2002 Thumb NT 5 this past Sunday from a local Guitar Center. The bass had a couple of minor issues (missing treble knob, one noticable ding) but I pretty much fell in love with it and took it home with me at what I think was a good price. (About 40% of the MSRP.) The...

I'm in the market to buy a nice shiny new amp to go with my nice shiny new Thumb - partically because my current amp is slowly dying and partically because it's a bit s**t and hasn't got nearly the kind of power I need these days. I'm looking to spend £500 - £700 and am looking at the...

Hi, I have provisionally sold my SS1 in the EU What is the best way to do this regarding currency and shipping. I don't want to drop £60 in Paypal charges which it is currently looking like. I may have to negotiate halfing the charges with the seller. Any ideas appreciated Neil

Hey guys... I'm looking to order a Corvette $$ (6-string) from the custom shop soon, but am unsure about which options I want, and the sound it'll create. I tried to find out myself, but the Bass Center in London has closed down :evil: Having playing the Thumb BO, I have fallen in love...

I recall a thread about something like this awhile back but couldn't manage to find it... Back when I was around 10 or so I use to be into model rocket kits. I managed to set one off accidently while working on it (I blame my cousin for this) And it burned/served all of the nervs/blood veins...

Greetings! I just picked up an 04 Thumb NT 5, but it could use some love. It obviously hasn't been cared for very well. It is very dirty and doesn't look like it has been waxed once. I will be taking it apart and getting into all the cracks and crevices for cleaning. Should I just use a...

Hey guys, I've only just this minute signed up but I've got a couple of questions to ask. I'm not technically minded about what Truss rods are... JAN III's and all of that sort of stuff... I just pick up the bass and play. However: I've just joined a band and although I don't have a proper...

Hi, I've been teasing Gregory lately so much, that this time I decided to make my question in here and hear your opinions as there's so much expertise on woods within this forum members. I've been planning my next 5-str Corvette for a while and I just can't make up my mind. I wouldn't like...

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask some advice, please! I am going to order an Infinity NT 5 string fretless through the custom shop but I'd like some advice about a couple of things, please? Firstly, I'd like it in Nirvana Black, but unsure of whether to choose oil finish or high polish -...

Greetings! I am a proud 6 month owner of a Rockbass and I love the instrument so much that I am ready to commit the money for a German-made Warwick this month. However, I need some advice before I make the plunge. I play in a metal band that loves the low end, so the Dark Lord seems to be...

Since my Kahler tremolo doesn't fit my Streamer Std., what do you think of it on my $$? Here are pics of it laying on top of the current bridge. One is the original chrome, the other I mocked up in black: I kinda like the chrome against the black hardware - brings out the chrome pole...

Hi, its been 15 yeqrs or so since I last played based, the interval being spent playing guitar. Most of my time is now spent playing for the shear pleasure of the music and recording @ home. Having thought about buying a bass I found that I liked the Katana, having initially decided to go...

Hey everyone, I installed new pickups about a month ago. When setting the heights, I stripped one of the screws and had to pull it out with pliers. The pickups brought their own set of screws, so I figured I'd try them out. I put them in, but they seemed a little too tight for the brass...

Hey guys, can you all recommend me some gear for entry level recording? Looking for about $300 for a unit, DAW not included. Thanks!

Hi everyone... First of all I would like to say that this forum is pretty cool and I found a few great posts across the board. So well done to the wisest of you who contribute so relentlessly to enlighten the rest of us... I am new to this forum and therefore not entirely sure if I am posting...
