    Strings that growl

    Warwick are renowned for their growl. I think you could put any strings on a Warwick and it would growl all night of the week

    Strings that growl

    I have a Stingray Classic 4. I have always used the Ernie Ball Slinky strings however the bass seems to lack that growl that is signature on a Stingray.

    I recently acquired a black Chap 5 and absolutely love it! If anyone is curious about what all the fuss is about this bass, have a listen to Def Leppard Live in Sheffield 1993 full concert on YouTube, listen to it with a good pair of headphones and you will get a very accurate example of how...

    I've used Ampegs of late Markbass. I recently traded to the GK 700 RB II, and let me tell you, its heaven. I used GB 800rb in the late 80s and early 90s and now I remember why I was always content with my sound back then. To br able to dial up the Mike Tyson punch that no other amp can is...
