    What CS bass do you think would allow me to get this sound?

    If it would also pull of a jazz sound, i'd be one happy mofo! =D

    What Warwick can get this sound?

    I just discovered this and it's a cool sound. Click on the link and there's a player for a song called 'Subterranean'.

    Jazzman sound

    Hello. I'm have an fna jazzman. Ash body with AA-Flamed Maple top, Ovangkol neck and Wenge fingerboard. I'm love this bass. It's sounds great at scene, it's sounds great at solo recordings, but in fact i'm not very satisfied by sound in band records. I like middle and high frequencies, but low...

    Different kinds of humbuckers, and their sound

    Hey all, I have a 6 string Bubinga 'vette, and I'm considering my next bass. I know the PU's in the 6 string 'vettes are soapbar humbuckers, and I guess I'm curious.. Is the difference in sound between a $$'s pickups and those on my 6-string significant? I know it's a subjective question...

    Jazzy sound?

    Hey guys, can i get a jazzy sound out of my rockbass corvette basic? I have fiddled with the controls but i couldnt get the tone i want. Well, what I want is something in the line of upright bass. I know i cant expect to get that same tone with my rockbass but maybe somethin more resembling the...

    corvette $$ - no sound - ????

    i have a brand new corvette $$, which suddenly stopped making any sound at all today. i'm not familiar with any of the technical terms, but i opened it up and both the white and purple wires have become loose, and they are no longer attached to the bit inside the socket. (apologies for the crap...

    Ampeg 8x10 - what a sound - what a quandry!

    I had the pleasure of seeing Kings X in London a couple of weeks ago. Still the best live rock/metal band going IMO. Absolutely superb. Doug was playing Ampeg 8x10s and had an awesome bass sound (as always) Anyway, a week later I was at a practice room in Edinburgh and they had a new 8x10...

    Sound of buckeye burl?

    Well it may be early on, seeing that it will take a LOT of time before I can scrape together enough cash to afford this, but I want to be sure of it when I buy it. Seeing how statisfied I am about my Thumb, it's almost a scientific fact that my next purchase will be a Warwick too. Now, I've...

    How does a Corvette $$ Swamp Ash compare in sound to Thumb NT or DB?

    Hi guys, I'm considering buying a Corvette $$ Swamp Ash online, but I have no way to try that bass out here in Norway. I already own a Thumb NT and a Thumb Dirty Blonde Ltd, and would really like opinions on how the Corwette would sound in comparison. Thanks!

    The bass for the sound I want (HELP!)

    Ok, so i've been listening to alot of players, and playing alot of basses lately. I know the next warwick I get will most likely be a CS so i'm trying to figure out what are the ideal options for my bass. I really like that tight compressed sound of my corvette (especially with a fresh set of...

    Strange sound on my $$ vette

    I've recently restringed my bass from a heavy gauge to a light gauge because when I slapped it, it produced a strange sound as if the string was hitting the wood of the bass, after restringing the bass it's still happening and it's really anoying. I've noticed that it only happens when I hit the...

    Differences in Sound using different woods

    Again, another question for my plan of buliding a Corvette $$ :-) I like basses having a deep, growly sound, maybe like the bass here: (Just listen to Lord Of Illusions). After having played the $$ in the Musicstore, i really liked it's sound - so, to get a nice growl, with not too...

    Can a Warwick sound like a Jazz?

    I love the feel, ergonomics and playability of my Streamer Std II (German built Warwick not RockBass) and it's easily the most comfortable bass I've ever played on. It feels like it was custom built for me and the big pups allow for lots of different thumb anchoring points. The problem is...

    Martin Motnik + Ritter Bass + Bach. Beware: fabulous sound !

    I just discovered this video while browsing for some Bach on bass. It turned out the dude is playing Ritter, and I must say the sound is like caviar exquisite. Nothing really fancy.......but just......exquisite. 8) Great playing too. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkZMlP7SRKk

    I feel so....DIRTY! (non-warwick content, pic, sound clips)

    Just got this bass in today. It's a 1991 Modulus Quantum, with Lane Poor picks. It has a walnut top, alder body, and purple heart strip. I needed something a little bit more comfortable than the Thumb, as my hands have been aching lately, and this Mod seems to fit the bill. Obviously it will...

    The sound of a Vette. proline.

    So I've come up with an idea to help anyone who has a question about a certain basses sound and how it compares to another. To help with the idea I'm going to setup these polls that have a scale from 1 to 5. 1 being a hi-fi sound and 5 being a traditional sound. I know you can get a hi-fi or...

    Sound of a streamer Pro m 5

    I own a corvette FNA Jazzman 5 and I have found a streamer Pro M 5 from 1997 for sales. Can you tell me what is the kind of sound of the streamer ( maple body) ? It seems that the neck is in wenge not in okvangol ? Is that right ? Thanks for your answer.
