I presume it's an 8ohm cabinet?

Such a shame about that gold hardware...chrome hardware and I'd be all over it.

Which do you prefer? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? What would be better for a modern mwah fretless tone? Or is there much of a difference?

Thinking of doing a carvin fretless build and I am torn as far as electronics. Anyone have any thoughts about onboard preamp vs stompbox preamps? I recently picked up an Eden WTDI preamp/compressor that rocks pretty hard with this less-than-stellar warwick rockbass passive fretless. Should I...

Is this a complete no-brainer? Warwick Streamer passive rockbass fretless for $550 vs Custom Carvin B50F active with J99a pickups for $880 Point of interest: a few years ago I ordered a B50F and the action was awful. Terrible string buzz on the low register of the 5th string. Was it a dud or...

Has anyone heard about Blue Rock basses? This one looks really cool, but for $250 there has to be a catch: Bass guitar, Fretless, 5 string, active pickups. New | Reverb Anyone have any experience with Blue Rock?

Dang, I would have bought that diamond...

Bringing this thread back from the dead...OP, did you get the warwick? I'm looking at a streamer rockbass fretless and I was hoping you could review it?

The Who's rhythm section might be my least favorite of the classic rock world. Totally busy and showy and all over the place. Give me John Paul Jones and John Bonham any day of the week.

The difference is, why do you need voicings and minimal position shifts to play notes that high up the register? I mean whatever's clever, I guess...make music however you like. It just seems like once you're playing those notes, you're not playing "bass" anymore. You're playing guitar. Also...

A 5 string is the most versatile bass you can play. I rarely play a low B, but I often play low Ds and Ebs, and I often play Fs and Gs on the 5th string to keep my hand in one position across the neck. I can play oldies, blues and classic rock no problem, and I can play reggae, prog, and...

Context is key, and everything is relative. Context: are you a touring band, living the lifestyle, creating an image of debauchery and wildness? Pass the bottle, pass the pipe. Are you playing corporate gigs in a button-up and tie? Keep it clean. Relativity: a hobbyist musician who doesn't...

Brought the whole rig to try out for a band today. First time I'd ever played it in context. It absolutely killed. Though the drummer, who was basically a dick in general, complained that my sound was too mid-heavy. I'm sure there was validity to what he was saying, but I didn't notice it where...

I call it Pinky and the Brain. Carvin B50, humbucker pickups. Carvin B2000 head Carvin LS2153 cabinet Totally unintentional that it's all Carvin. Started with the bass. Wanted a 2x15 dually substitute, and for 250 bucks the LS2153 is an unbelievable deal. Found the B2000 on Craigslist for 400...
