    the awesome tone

    playing my warwick corvette (Fretted active eq) with a set up dead nickel strings, but the warwick tone still shines through, especialy in the low frequencies. playing through a 1969 ampeg b-25 and a custom made "acoustic 360" style amp (15 inch speaker instead of 18 [like jaco's!]) its just an...

    the continuous battle for tone

    so... i found a prime example of what i want my vette to sound like, but i just can't get there! Emma Anzai uses an FNA Jazzman and I love her tone at the beginning of their song Cancer (it's on their myspace, ) I know i can get this (or something close) with my Active Bubinga Vette 5. i...

    Growl with a CT Tone?

    Any Warwick that would possibly get the same feel and tone of a Carl Thompson? Customizations, etc.? Les Claypool has always been one of my biggest influences, but I'd rather not have to worry about buying a CT until I have a steady job AFTER college.

    Corvette time! tone questions...

    Alright. I'm supposed to be writing an essay for school right now, but everyone knows Warwick Basses are much more important. So i purchased an Active (I think) 06 Bubinga Corvette Std. from Vakmere here on the forums. Hopefully it'll get shipped out tomorrow. I'm playing the waiting game now...

    TONE AND EXTRAORDINARY NEW CONCEPTS BY JACK BRUCE

    8) Hello, dear members of this sensational forum! I'm a new member, and think of Warwick basses, its intonation, the superlative velvet sound of the legendary fretless models, and much more innovations of Warwick, makes me - and I guess everybody - think unavoidably of the fantastic contribution...

    Tone solution?

    After playing my Thumb BO 4 for a few months now, I have become mildly dissatisfied with the tone of the D & G strings while playing at gig volume. The sound a bit thin and tinny to me compared to the E & A. Obviously the lower the string, the deeper and meatier the note and tone, I just think...

    Finding my ideal tone

    So I have decided between TONS of songs and artists that i have listened to that i want a tone similar to that of Markus from Breaking Benjamin. I'm pretty sure he uses a thumb, but I use a rockbass corvette. So it could be quite difficult, but can anyone help me get tone like he has in the song...

    Muddy tone

    Well, I got my new ampeg amp and cab and I really like the sound w/ my $$ but it is just a tad muddy. I don't remember this when I tried it out. What can I do to try to remove some of the muddiness? I thought new strings but they weren't muddy on my practice amp last week. I like the tone even...

    "Intrinsic" tone of a Warwick Thumb

    I was intrigued by a thread that asked Warwickers to identify the bassists that have the "Warwick tone" and by an old post that said Warwicks sound great even with flat settings. So I did a little experiment. My preamp consists of a Line 6 Bass Pod xt, which allows me to "bypass" all amp...

    Now, I know he plays a thumb, but can anyone recommend some eq settings to achieve this tone, or is it all in his fingers?

    Zebrano Thumb Tone

    I know its a long shot but I would love to hear this bass: A Thumb NT with Zebrano and Ovangkol must sound very interesting indeed and the grain of the Zebrano is spectacular :shock: Also if anyone knows about any sound clips for the bolt-on Buzzard I would like to hear that too as...

    Streamer Chrome Tone

    Anybody played or owned a Streamer Chrome Tone? What are they like? I think it would look great with black hardware and pickups.

    Getting the Stingray tone out of my Jazzman

    Hi guys, first time poster, but long-time lurker. :D After being a proud owner of a Streamer Jazzman 5 with stock MEC for four months or so, I love her to bits, and I find the tonal versatility is amazing. However, I’m getting very frustrated trying to coax one tone out of her in particular...

    Warwick Wood Tone

    I was looking at the different woods that warwick uses in their custom shop and I was wondering what effect they have on the sound of the basses they are used on. Anyone know how some of the woods (if not all) effect the sound?
