My bass with CS 60's sounds brilliant.

I picked up a set of Sennheiser HD280's at the New GC that opened in Louisville this week. Halfway there. Anyone use the HD280's?

9 pounds is heavy :eek:. My heavy bass weighs like 13 pounds. My 9 pound Jazz or stingray are light basses. With the 13 pounder a I find a wide/thick strrap will alleviate most of the weight issues for me.

It would be one thing if you were complaining about a company like Gibson that is popular and has horrendus QA and overpriced gear and completely destroyed Tobias. The same can go for say Ampeg or Eden amps in the bass realm as companies that sell out and then have a drop across the board...

After checking the warrior website, the pre is $375. I HIGHLY doubt its off the shelf at that price.

I've looked at these, but I'm looking for something with a bit better sound quality.

So I'm looking at getting some form of setup to practice at home with headphones. What's the best direction to approach this setup. A.) I need a good get of headphones, and B.) something to power the headphones. For those with experience, what are good sounding solutions?

What string spacing does Cort use on the 5 string models? Also, were would one get a Cort in the states?

Yeah there is a lot of Made in Indonesia stuff made in that one factory. I'll have to hunt a cort down one day. When their Lakeland 55-02 copy is $500 and a skyline 55-02 is $1400 it definately gets the reward for bang for your buck (and they make the lakland in the same factory)

Were can you even get a Cort bass at? Aren't G&L tributes and Lakland Skylines made in the Cort factory? This is something yummy: Invalid Link Removed

I have a nice new 1K laptop I'm typing on atm that my income tax check will go towards paying off. With the rest, I will prolly buy parts for some basses and maybe get a headphone amp.

Any idea what the pickups and preamp they use is? It really did sound that great.

I played a used Warrior once. I wasn't interested in a new bass at the time and it wasn't that attractive (plain white finish), so I ignored it mostly. It did have several great points about it. First the electronics sounded great. Honesty, to this day I like the sound of that pre. Second...

The Quarter Pounder is a Seymor Duncan pickup, not an EMG. The BTC is however an EMG preamp. Double check the specifications on the pickups. Neither the EMG j's, nor the quarter pounder will give a classic Jazz bas tone, but both are good in their own respects.

Most of a warwick's signature sound comes from the (heavy) woods they use IMO.
