question

I want to string one of my 6 string 34" scale Warwick basses as a "piccolo". I would also like to keep the tuning as standard BEADGC but obviously an octave higher than the normal bass. Has anyone got advice on the gauge strings I would use and where I can get them? Having read a few posts on...

Hi All! I've been in love with Thumb basses since several years. Especially with their tone. I'd love to own a NT but it's way too expensive. Hopefully, there's the BO's version. I'd like to know if, as far as sound / tone is concerned, there is a big difference between a BO and a NT Thumb...

Here I talk about the 5 and 6 strings version with the soapbars Does the Pickup position is the same as the Ken Smith? Or is the same as Spector? Or is it simply not the same as these?

Hey there. Just wondering, what does the compressor on my Pro Fet 5.2 actually do? I can tell the difference in sound, but I guess I need a description in the simplest of terms :) Cheers Shaun

G'day, I've just started playing bass (switched from guitar) and I bought a second hand Profet 5.1 & Pro 411 cab. I had my fist practice with the band (a metal band) today using this rig & I was very dissapointed with the volume. I did have some issues with the preamp clipping so i had to...

Hey guys, I recently made a swap and received a 1990 SSI 5er.It still has factory Barts and electronics.Its in great condition, except the volume pot is a little messed up. I can't get the volume to turn all the way off. In the swap, I was also sent an 02 MEC 3way. I have not had time to...

Ok so I am performing the song Perdido-Duke Ellington Our band is taking the song very quickly 300 BPM at a minimum, no joke Theres my solo, i'd appreciate any suggestions, but there is not a lot of room for experimentation. Because the band director just told me to play the bass line an...

I'm sure this has been asked; and I'm sure a post that starts "I'm sure this has been asked" guarantees its been asked. So not only is this my first post - its my first "I'm sure this has been asked but" post. So here goes: On a NT Corvette can you get wood that is not in the CS Info...

The chrome tone basses have chrome-coloured pickups. Is it only chrome paint over the plastic cover or an actual metallic cover? Just wondering...

Hello gang, I hope 2009 has been good to you all so far. Just a quick question please......I am playing a Profet 3.2 head (my 5.1 has been sent off for repairs :(() thru a WCA210. This set up is pretty punchy but i am running at almost max volume (clip clip clip clip etc lol) as the 2x10 is...

Hey all, A friend of mine has a passive Corvette standard 5 string, which he really doesn't ever use so for the past few months basically given it to me, until he wants it back/wants a price on it. I believe it's a '97, and he's now asking for £500. Does that price sound about right to any of...

What's up you guys, I just bought my first Warwick today! I love its growl tone! (I'll post a pic later) But I was wondering if I need to use beeswax on my finish. The folder that came with the gig bag has a slot for it but there wasn't any in there..and the manual said the wax is...

I'm about to order a new set of hardware for my right hand SS1-5. The tuners comes with the options left and right. I assume I need 3 x left and 2 x right, but I'm not sure. It kind of depends on how you look at the bass :roll:

Hello everyone! I'm new here. Just joined few minutes ago. Anyway, here's my question. I just bought an active 5 string Warwick Corvette Standard and I'm planning to change the pickups to Bartolinis. Should I change the preamps to Barts too? or can I leave the Mec pres and just change the...

Hello Bass-men ! Can anyone tell me which is the best solid case for my Streamer Stage One ? I can't find any case that fits my Stage One. Thanks StageOnePlayer

I've been having alot of questions lately, so i'm gonna just make a thread. As of now, I'm looking at a dr.bass 610 (all 610's i played have the sound i'm going for). and i was looking at some new amps (like the genz benz shuttle max) and I started to think, biamping would be cool. It says it...

Hola, I broke a string the other day, and i guess i lost a peice on my bass on the bridge that holds the string... <a></a> Is there a way i can buy just that peice, or any other way to fix that besides buying a new bridge... Thanks! sorry it looks really dusty... high powered...

Someone is selling a cab locally and I think I'm going to get it. Here's the lowdown. He said he bought it in the 80's. It was originally an Ampeg HS410MX (4x10). But he has since replaced the drivers twice. Currently it still has the original ampeg tweeter cone, but the drivers have been...

So, after I wax my basses and return to them the next day, my hands seem to pick up a tiny layer of wax from handling the bass, then my fingers start to grip to everything on the bass, and it feels real gross. My hands, unfortunately, sweat a lot when I play, I know this doesn't help. Is...

Quick question for you guys. I've got a Corvette with active pups and preamp. With the preamp set flat should the output be more than, less than, or the same as the bass set to bypass mode? The issue I have is that in active mode my bass doesn't have enough output to drive an auto wah pedal, but...
