pick

Even though I’ve been playing almost exclusively fingerstyle for the past 22 years and only use a pick occasionally, I keep reaching my limits when it comes to playing fast. I’m now going to use a pick more often. Nevertheless, I also want to work on improving my speed when playing without a...

How would you guys describe the sound of different pick ups As far as I am aware there are: Jazz; Precision; Humbucker; Twin Jazz; Reversed Precision. I have bass's with different pickups but because the woods are different on all of them I'm not sure how much that is influencing my...

Hey I have an album recording coming up on the horizon and i've just decided that i kinda prefer the pick sound to fingers for alot of stuff. I was hoping to record using both... How does this work, do i have to change my eq every time i swap over or is it going to sound crap if i dont? or is...

Does someone knows this: The Jack Bruce CRB Bass has this big chrome pick ups, which are humbuckers according to the specs list. The Star Bass has 'CRB' pick ups, but they're listed as singe coils. Is one of the spec lists wrong or are there two different kind of chrome humbuckers?

I have to admit when I am on forums and find these kind of threads where people give their advice about someone's potential upcoming purchase I enjoy them tremendously. Now, I'm finally writing one! :) I came across a 'new' Warwick 4 string Corv. Standard fretless while looking at a Corv. 5...

Hey guys, not sure if I should have posted this somewhere else in the forum but here it goes. I am in the market for a new bass amp. I currently have a Fender bassman 400 pushing two (individual) McCauley 15's. The rig sounds pretty decent, but as I am evolving into to bass player I feel the...

I've been playing Lakland basses for the last 7 years, and have recently moved into a more heavy rock band where I don't feel that my Laklands cut it. They sound to polite, like they are saying, "hey guys, can I play?" I was at guitar center yesterday and played a Corvette Standard and a...

Hey guys, I own 1990 Warwick Streamer Stage 1 with EMG's PJ pick ups and Aguiliar OBP 1 electronics. I have this buzz I can't get rid of. I really tried everything from resoldering to shielding, grounding, changing the amps I plug it in... I mean everything. I tried other basses in the same...

Hi there, guys! Could anybody tell me what's the inclination angle in the pickups of the thumb 5 bass? I guess that angle has a lot to do with the sound of the bass, am I right? Thank you all! Cheers! :)

I have also an OLP Bass that I got a set of Wilkinson pick ups on order to replace the stock one. does anybody know anything about these pick ups? is sthis ok? will it better the sound? I was trying to get the MM sound and better quality sound (I know Warwicks have a good sound already and I...

Hi everyone, I've just bought 1990 Streamer Stage 2 and the bass looks great, the wood as well but the sound (except when I slap) is not even close to what I expected. It's not transparent and it lacks the shot. Maybe the problem lies in the pick ups (they are maybe too old -EMG's) or the...

My NT5 is one of the most beautiful basses in the world. I got my hands on some really old bubinga (furniture grade) and I'm thinking about making pick up covers and knobs but I don't want to make it too boutique looking and loose it's hardcore edge. Has anyone seen this much discussed...

Why are the Thumb nt5 pickups placed so far back toward the bridge? How was this location arrived at as opposed to where other Warwick bass P/U's are placed?

I recently went to my local guitar cent. checking out the new Warwicks and heard an amazing tone from the back. Iwent to see and was suprised to see a guy playing a Jerzy drozd 5 string. I was told the reason it sounded that way, other than the aguilar pre amp was because of the wooden pickup...
