bubinga

What exactly is happening when I do this (pull up the volume knob)? Does it just bypass the EQ section, or do the pickups become passive single coils? I don't really understand. Anyway, lately I really like the sound with the pre-amp bypassed. It sounds clearer, less boomy and seems to make my...

If so, I'm curious to know more about them.

Hey guys. I just bought the Warwick 5 string babinga bass with Active pickups. I had a few questions. I am used to playing cheap basses and guitars. I also just traded my Markbass amp so I don't have an adequate amp to play through, so I am currently playing through my stereo system. I...

One of my friends just bought a Corvette $$ 5 Std. I must admit I am a little jealous. GAS is setting in, but for the record I am not giving in and getting one, but a few years down the road...who knows. I am curious, and perhaps this will end my GAS early for now to at least talk about it...

Hi guys, it´s me (white t-shirt guy on the right eh,eh,eh) with my band covering a cool 80's rock song.This was taken with a digital photo camera standing on top of a table, so the image and sound are poor.But i decided to share with all of you anyway. Cheers Luis...

I'm interested in buying this I can get it for 800CDN in pristine condition w/ hard case. I thought it may be stolen, e-mailed Warwick with the serial # but they can't tell or no one has reported it. Anywho.. I like to play the following: Funk/Soul/Pop/ Classic rock Jazz Some new age rock...

hi folks. how would you compare the sound of the thumb bo to the sound of a bubinga corvette ? i can't try them both, that's why i'm asking. i really like the shape of the corvette, and i would like a thumb-sounding bass. do you think they sound quite the same ? if not: where are the...

I've never seen this baby before... I was looking for a background of a Jazzman and ran across this: followed by this ad: Have you all seen these before? And why have I never seen a swirly bubinga top like that? They always seem to have one section down the middle of the lighter...

Mmm, I just got my Corvette standard 5-string in Bubinga wood with active electronics but with standard passive pickups after waiting 6-7 weeks. I'm really annoyed (and depressed!) as when I ordered the active electronic option I thought the bass was then fully active and that the active JJ's...

Mmm, I need some assurance... Just got my 5 string Corvette standard Bubinga with passive pickups and active electronics after waiting 6 weeks for Warwick to produce it. Looks nice but I'm feeling a bit concerned that I have done the wrong thing and splashed out a bit more (more than I...

did anybody know about this??

I just had this thought the other day, so bare with me through my explanation... As far as I know, the first full body warwicks were the thumb and the streamer. The thumb having bubinga and wenge neck, and the streamer with a cherry body (now maple) and a maple neck, both with wenge boards...

Wow. I absoloutely love the look of the old wenge/bubinga necks. The ibanez sr seems to have one, but you know... it's just not a 'wick Can you have bubinga as a neck laminate through the custom shop?

Look at the figuring on ebony fb on this Corvette bubinga!

Here's some stuff from an old band. Damn I love this bass. I didn't want to chop anything up into clips, so bear with me and give them a listen. If you only feel like listening to one, I'd suggest Late June. Let me know what ya think. This stuff was recorded through my old rig, A GK 700-RBII...

I cannot seem to find an answer to this with the search function so... Why aren't bubinga wood basses capable of taking a colored oil finish? (or are they?) Presumably it has something to do with the properties of the wood itself and its ability to take stain...but I am curious as to the...
