Sorry if there's already been threads on this, but I was wandering if people knew if Warwick were gonna update their Pro Series line anytime soon. The Rockbass line has seen some updates with heaps of options and I'm currently saving up for a Pro Series Thumb (I currently a Rockbass streamer)...

Thanks for getting back to me and all the useful info! I'm definitely still interested in getting one but unfortunately funds are bit of an issue haha. The body wood (as far as I know) is Ovangkol but as far as I'm concerned that's still an upgrade from my current streamer rockbass which as far...

Compression on my gt-6b. Helps boost the signal as my main bass is passive and helps to keep the tone even.

The issue seems to have gone away as I've got more use to gigging now, seems it was actually just nerves haha, still as useful tip though thanks!

I was playing pretty hard during ace of spades but I've adjusted my tone so it should be clearer and I won't play as hard, cheers! thanks! yeah, this week's gig should generally be better as I'm taking my amp along this time to get the tones I want, (I didn't really like my tone last...

yuck. yeah i didn't really warm up or stretch before the gig. far out that's a lot, yeah, if you weren't relaxed you would've been stuffed!

I can play at fine at rehearsals, it was just at the gig where I was having trouble, but practice does make perfect. useful tip, cheers! wow they're some huge sets! I don't think we'll be doing sets that long for a while haha. but I play a lot usually anyway. But yeah I didn't really...

yeah that's true, plus it was a pretty cold night haha, cheers! :)

My band just recently nailed a weekly gig at a cafe in the centre of the city. We had our first gig a few days ago and at the moment we're just doing heavy metal covers which seems to please the crowd but will start working on originals sometime in the near future. Anyway, second song in our set...

I've been happy with my rockbass with passive p-ups (see previous post for more details.) Through my Boss GT-6B it has plenty of punch! :)

Not sure how much help I can be but I have a streamer std 5 string rockbass from 07 i think and I've really enjoyed it. Even though it has passive electronics it has way more punch and low-end than my Ibanez SR300 and that has active electronics. I've heard that the rockbasses have continued to...

It's funny you say that because my bass tutor has an Ibanez and really likes it, and he's mainly a jazz player! haha, I guess it just depends what environment you're in, I have an SR300 but ever since I got the Warwick I've barely played it, I just found the bottom-end kinda lacking. But the...

Ok I haven't heard/seen much Steve Harris stuff so thanks! I didn't realize Marcus did it, cheers! I guess chordslapping is a pretty apt name for it hey? haha, thanks!

Yes, whatever works for you is indeed best.

haha! yes, i'll have to try that sometime
