Members Flod Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 I'm helping my sister purchase a bass guitar. It's a warwick witch active SD bass line's. Never cared for the sound of MECs, but love the acoustic sound of warwicks. So, I was wondering, how does the bass lines compare? Thanks fellas.
Members sunburstbasser Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 I'd think they'd sound completely different. MEC-equipped Warwicks have a tone all their own.
Members Flod Posted June 1, 2005 Author Members Posted June 1, 2005 Hehe... and by "a tone all their own" you mean that a SD-equippet warwick would sound... better?
Members tenyearsgone Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Listen to Incubus.........Dirk's Warwick streamer has SD basslines in it
Members Flod Posted June 1, 2005 Author Members Posted June 1, 2005 Perhaps I should also mention that I have no way of trying before buying. Incubus you say? I'm on it.
Members beam Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 If you want something different, but still keep the warwick all-black pickup look...try bartolini

And as long as they sound better (different) than a MEC, I'm happy as a lark.

Yes, Dirk is using the basslines AJB-5 pickups and the basslines STC-3M4 preamp.To REALLY hear how good is tone is, get the Morning View sessions DVD, $10. His tone is SICK on that DVD. SICK I say. The best tone I've ever heard, personally.

Members Jugghaid Posted June 1, 2005 Members Posted June 1, 2005 Basslines KILL MEC's IMO. Not even a close contest. Way more bottom end and a crisper and fatter tone.

Way more bottom end and a crisper and fatter tone. Yeah, I'd say so.....My Wawick still has the MEC's in it but they're getting changed out ASAP (money). As expensive as Warwicks (and other basses) are, you gotta cut costs somewhere and it's usually the electronics. Can't wait to change mine out.
