First bass was a Yamaha BB3000S 4 string p/j config...black with gold hardware...I donated this bass to our church and they use it in the spanish speaking ministry.

A few questions... What year is your bass? How are the frets? Any fret buzz?

Pre-amp adjustments? Details? Lots of discussion on this...did you de-sparkle?

How is the playability and fretwork on this one? Does it meet your expectations?

VERSATILITY: I have the DIST 210 and DIST 112 cabs that I use with a TC Electronics Staccato head. I play a lot of acoustic gigs and use 1 cab or both depending on the room size. I play 3 instruments (each instrument has its own memory preset EQ...then tweaked for the room/venue) including a 5...

I see that there seem to be two different Bartolini Jazz pickups used on recent Warrior Basses... I am familiar with the "X5" version the other seems to be a "Vintage" jazz version Can anyone comment on the differences in tone noise/hum etc?

+1 on the Yamaha BB3000s (Black with gold hardware) purchased new from the local music store around 1987...I donated it to my church and it is still used every week. It lives at the church with my 80's rig....GK800rb + Hartke 410 & 115.

I played a 1840's German Flatback Upright Bass in college. Thought that might be the oldest before I saw the post above. The Flat back has a focused tone as opposed to a rounded back bass which has the big projecting sound.

No Point...just adding a link to the specific pickup we were discussing (there are several on that page)...says exactly what you said it does

Invalid Link Removed X55CBJD pair - available in neck (B) and bridge (T) in-line hum canceling dual coils

The Bart XJ55's are dual coil

I am getting a Warrior (I don't know anything about the WAL). Swamp Ash body with 2 jazz pickups - love the tone of this bass. What made me decide to save for and buy a Warrior Bass is the playability (played a few at a Guitar show and fell in love)...slim neck and low action...light weight...

I am in Tega Cay (Fort Mill), SC Thinking about getting together a "Bass Summit" Really just a few of us who gig often...but also have "Serious Day Gigs"" which means we can afford high end instruments and equipment. This would be an opportunity to put all the toys in a room and compare...

Before you remove the Sparkle circuit could you describe the differences (tone) between this bass and your typical Warrior bass configuration. Also, previously in this thread, we had discussed that the Sparkle circuit may be included specifically to improve the tone and high end of the soap...
