    Tonal differences between models

    Hi, everyone! This will be my first post so i try not to ask a too dumb question, but i was browsing the forum and haven't been able to find an answer to this: Let's say we have three (just a random number) basses, a Streamer, a Thumb and a Vampyre. We make them a'la CS, and we'll go with...

    Hi Everyone! I want to buy a second hand WCA 410. But before I would like to get some information on their sound... Please help me in it! I mean how much bass, mid and treble do they have? The tone is definant enough or the wca411 is better? Did anyone compared the WCA 410 to Ashdown Mag...

    Pick up types and how they sound

    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...

    Thumb sound without the neckdive?

    Hi I am new here - been lurking, reading and listening to clips. Seems to be a nice forum. I love the sound of my Thumb 5 NT. Percussive, cutting through the mix live and recorded as if there is a compressor inside. But this is love with some reservations. The lack of balance.... And...

    Warwick - The recent media article regarding Warwick.

    I don't know if anyone of you guys noticed this topic, but as a german, I can't open any of my favorite boards without being touched by it. That's the deal: a week ago the president of germany, Horst Köhler, visited Markneukirchen and Warwick as an important regional employer. Due to this act...

    How do the PNut basses sound compared to the SSIIs?

    I've seen a couple of PNut Model basses available recently and was wondering if anyone could tell me how they sound compared to the SSIIs? I know that the wood used for construction is slightly different and the pick up configuration is different. Do these changes make a noticible difference...

    What do the maple starbasses sound like?

    I'm really curious about these. Are they really thuddy and a typical hollowbody? or are they like hollowbody guitars? Bright, chimey and airy. If it can do both, i'd be really happy with one =D. I like lots of sounds...so lots of GAS :twisted:

    Zebrano Sound Character

    Guys anyone got any thoughts on how the Zebrano top on my Corvette $$ special edition affects the tone compared to other Warwick woods? I've seen one person mention it has a tighter bottom and brighter highs. I haven't really been able to make a proper A/B comparison yet. Dave

    Which would be best for a fretless?

    Hi guys, I've got a question for you. If you could choose between an Infinity NT 5 FL and a Corvette Std Ash 5 FL which one of them would you choose if your need would be to have a fretless? Remind it's a money independent question, I would just like to know which would fit best in the role in...

    Identifying a Warwick through sound?

    There's this band from Seattle called Sage. Their music never took off during that whole "grunge revolution" probably because they aren't of that genre. But I did discover them for myself through that Mtv thing when they did play music back in '93... I recently did a search and finally after...

    Elrctronic clipping sound

    I've noticed recently that there is a clipping, pop sound when I play on the top 2 strings (B and E). It drives a studio console meter crazy and is audible as a transient pop. I've got plenty room between pickup and strings so contact isn't an issue. I can mute the string with left hand and play...

    RIP Michael Jackson and that signature bass sound

    Ok, big respect to Michael Jackson, the world of popular music has lost one of its most inspired, creative members, and someone who has changed music and popular culture forever. Obviously, I don't want this thread to get wrapped up in the certain 'controversies' that surrounded his life, and...

    Corvette $$ sound pallet

    I only tried a $$ briefly before my local store dropped the Warwick line of basses. Now I see a 5 string on ebay for a fair price. Does anyone have sound bytes of the $$ in the various pickup modes? I've looked at youtube and they aren't any comprehensive back to back comparisons and...
