  1. Yes the Streamer I last posted is AWESOME. I hope to have one myself one day. Warwick's are 100% pure quality.

    That said, they introduced another version at NAMM - the Warwick Streamer CV. (CV stands for Classic Vintage). It looks like the gold one that I posted, that Adam had made for himself... and like that one - the pickups are passive.

    So while the gold one I previously posted as sort of a Precision set of passive pickups, the Streamer CV has passive Jazz Bass style pickups.

    As Adam Clayton prefers passive pickups... I could TOTALLY see him playing one of these, although not likely in tobacco finish. Legend has it... he hates tobacco finish.


    WARWICK STREAMER CV - Vintage Sunburst






    WARWICK STREAMER CV - Daphne Blue







    I could see Adam having them make him one in Gold or gold sparkle... or perhaps Candy Apple Red, like the Reverso.




  2. I'm beginning to feel like getting a bass myself. The Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Special looks pretty cool.



    Or a Höfner Ignition for obvious reasons.



    I should go try some.
  3. Hofners are affordable although overrated (in quality). I will DEFINITELY get one some day. Soon
  4. I think I will get the Squier first though, seems more flexible to me... But my life will definitely not be complete without one of those Höfners. I just look at one and feel an extreme need to buy one.
  5. By the way, scored the other day:

    New, 100€
  6. Those Gretsch's are damn cool... How is it to play?
  7. It's a shorter scale than usual, and it sounds FECKING AWESOME to be honest, better than any full-scale mid-range acoustic I've ever played. In fact, the only (6 strings) acoustic I've liked better in my life (quality/price wise, of course) is my grandfa's Takamine, which is priced at something like 600€ nowadays... But still doesn't play 6 times better than this beauty. Lots of sustain, a beautiful tone (somehow "darker" than you'd expect, but I like that a lot) and, why deny it, a damn cool look.


    Me and my friend Gon were the first to buy it at a physical store here in Spain, the day they were released (last Wednesday). We got a celebratory post with a pic on the store's Facebook page and all

  8. Yeah, I saw that

    I think I'm gonna head to town and look at basses tomorrow.
  9. Vintage Modified are not made as well as the Classic Vibe series. I highly recommend that you look at the Classic Vibe Series Jazz or Precision bass guitars.

    Alder body (Vintage modified has a cheaper wood). Hi mass bridge with brass saddles on the Classic Vibe, for better sustain... Better to spend 350-ish for the better bass than 50- 80 cheaper for an inferior product - is my thinking.

  10. Edge Effects - What do you use?

    Always interesting to hear what others are using for effects and amps.

    Me?

    I have tons of pedals. But here's what I have been using lately...


    Digitech WH-1 (whammy)
    Boss CS-2 (compressor) -- Although, I am looking to get a MXR script reissue compressor or a MXR Custom Comp
    Electro-Harmonix POG (Poly-Octave Generator)
    Digitech Synth Wah (filter/wah)
    Emma Discumbobulator (filter/wah)
    Lovepedal OD11 (overdrive)
    Death By Audio Harmonic Transformer (overdrive)
    Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun (fuzz)
    Boss DC-3 Digital Dimension (chorus)
    Boss PH-2 Phaser
    Boss RV-3 Digital Delay/Reverb
    Durham Sex Drive (boost)

    All of that goes to the Vox AC15.

    I'm looking at a few pedals that may replace the Boss CS-2 compressor, and the delays... Possibly a Strymon Timeline... time will tell...


    Also, for my newly acquired Squire `60's Classic Vibe Bass, I am using my Lovetone 'Brown Source' (light overdrive setting) and Lovetone 'Big Cheese' when I want to get some fuzzier bass bits going.
  11. The Vintage Modified instruments still have a good reputation though. The JP configuration is also something that sounds good for someone who wants a versatile beginner bass.

    And that money could go to guitar stuff But I shall try some.
  12. The price difference is also bigger than you say it is.
