Members t3ch Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Damn it's hard to find standards in that color, that's what I want. Too broke right now to afford the prescription medication to control the outbreaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 That looks really nice. I've been Gassin hard for a Warwick lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted February 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've played one of those at a GC a while back (same color). It was pretty good, but heavy as {censored}. I'd go for the $$. Its a lot lighter, and the tonal controls gives you a lot more versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need more space in between them. Check out an FNA. A single MM, nicer body cap (Flamed Maple) and MUCH lower price (only available on the used market).

I need more space in between them. +1 I owned a $$, ended up selling it because I decided I didn't like the Pickup locations. Had I bought a JJ model I would still have it.

How does it sound in comparison? That's the problem, is I LOVE the sound of the $$... It just doesn't fit my playing style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted February 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not quite as versatile, but its no one-trick pony. Lots of punch and power. The maple draws out a bit of the growl, but not too much. If you know a place with a FNA Jazzman, its the same bass, only without the Jazz pickup. The link to my old band's myspace is in my sig. It has a few crap recordings of the bass through my GBE600 and Neo-X 212. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ah-ha! I knew there was a member in blacksburg, couldn't remember who. I was someone else lived up in NOVA with me. I'm pretty sure willsellout does, but he's awfully tight lipped about who he is and where he works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted February 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Nice one man, it is a very catchy song I appreciate it. I just wish I had a recording of "Dandelion Pastures". Luckily, I'm re-uniting with the guy who arranged it (its technically a cover of an all acoustic song that we made a full-band version of). We might record it in a few months.

Members NeonVomit Posted February 7, 2008 Members Share Posted February 7, 2008 Lovely. My Warwick is my only real bass now (had to sell the Ibby due to financial reasons ) and I don't really want to get another one. Except a custom shop Infinity neckthru 6string, with quilted maple top and high-gloss transluscent sea-blue finish. Which I've found out, would cost something in the region of 7000 euro Better hold out for some sort of an endorsement deal then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
