    Current Warwick medium scale options

    Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear, and it looks great. It's been some time sinces 2013 so i hope they still offer the satin 5er. I'd replace the pups pretty quickly so no worries there for me. Check out fralins hum cancelling jazz replacements. Full disclosure, used to work there but I still...

    Do you ever actually NEED more than one bass?

    Yeah at least one fretted and fretless. Ideally two of each and different string types on each. Just my humble opinion.

    Current Warwick medium scale options

    I am looking to get my rig together as soon as money permits and am switching to medium scale basses but I'm getting two different sets of available items from Warwick's mobile site and full site. Looking for a medium Corvette 5 rockbass in satin and a medium starbass 5 rockbass fretless. I may...

    Dual Purpose Head

    Wow thanks for all the suggestions! Reverb is not a problem here. I can always get a separate reverb unit if need be. I use pedals for that now anyways. I just want those power tubes cause my favored bass tone is a later 70's SVT. Guitar wise have no idea how those will sound. Definitely...

    Dual Purpose Head

    So I'm looking for a about an 100 watt head for two uses. I hope to play jazz guitar through ( clean headroom/ lots mids) and I suppose rock bass(Punchy/ slight break up when cranked). I gave up on trying to find one that has 6550's or KT88's that's affordable, but if it could be easily...

    Fender pickguard assembly affect tone?

    Looked for a bit and couldn't find any thing related. I'm wondering if having the pups directly mounted to the body versus mounted to a pick guard would in any way affect the pups sound? So let the science mumbo jumbo begin....

    If the "tonewood" idea was proven to be false...

    I'm sorry in advance is someone already brought this up but the famous guitar maker Benedetto a while back made a jazz box out of construction grade pine and stated the difference was negligible. He goes on to say it all about how its built. With that said, there are multiple things to...

    Bass isolation cabs.

    So if what I'm hearing is right then i could record (and distort) bass through my orange tiny terror head and my 1 x 12 (Becoming the iso cab) right now and not bust/blow anything.???

    Tube swap in a pignose b100vh or alt head.

    Alrighty then. I guess ill stick with 6l6s if I go that route. Any other roughly 100 watt affordable tube heads?

    Bass isolation cabs.

    it does. But trusting my self and anyone else to not turn it up too much to blow it is definitely hairy.

    Bass isolation cabs.

    So should i not be running an 100 watt tube head to this iso cab? or are you just saying not to put more than a 10 watt rated speaker? Sorry im so clueless.
  15. TheMute

    Bass isolation cabs.

    So bass typically higher watt then guitar? so besides the obvious material used being different from on to another, the bass speaker will have a higher or lower freq response than guitar? Or neither?
