Sorry, i assumed when talking about slap bass playing and mentioning "mr king" most people might just make the assumption that I was i fact talking about mark king of level 42. In case that's still not specific enough, try this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_King_(musician) I didn't put...

Hi folks... I have seen a lot of slap players like mr king use some kind of thumb piece ? Can anyone tell me what it is? I've looked everywhere but cannot seem to find anything of the like? I assume it will help witH a harder more percussive feel as well as stop your thumb falling to bits ...

Great stuff, thanks, its wenge neck..... You just don't see warwicks coming up on the second hand market were i am? Any ideas on the bottom end fuzz? It's not any kind of fret noise is electronic.... I understand you can turn up/ down the output inside the back panel ? Perhaps its set a...

Hi, I've got a chance to buy a used warwick bass at what I think is a good price but I have a few questions as I'm not clued up with Warwicks Its a streamer lx jazzman, 4 string, in an oiled violet type colour (not my preferred choice but still).... Now, I think its a German made warwick...

I think this may be the way I'm gonna go......its a start :bassist: Thanks for all the advice. The thing is, I've always purchased basses which are active from stock, bass collection, musicman..... But this is my first f jazz bass, and i LOVE IT! I've never really had the need to muck about...

Thanks for the info, am i right in thinking that what your saying is to run active pickups but without an on board preamp in my bass? I've looked at the emgx kits online, they contain pickups, new tone vol pots and plug/ play circuitry including battery clip for 9v..... Have I got this right...

Thanks for the advice guys, very helpful..... I hear what your saying about standard passive sound, and agree.... Would I get a huge difference in quality of sound through any of the pick ups available ?

Thanks for the replies, I'm a one bass kinda guy......:) Hence me not wanting to trade this one on the Warwick i had my eye on...... The Warwick had the output, sweet tone and playability , but it just didn't have the feel of my jazz......i guess they were just two completely different beasts...

Hi, I have a fender jazz bass, it's an American standard, maybe 2005'ish... Passive. I have lusted after warwicks and music man bass sounds but cannot part with my jazz bass. Just a volume knob for each pickup and a single tone pot..... I was about to trade in the jazz on a Warwick but...

Can any one help with this ?

Oh great, don't mind a bit of fettlling. Thanks for the reply doc ;) Also, there is a little but off crackle on the bottom end, may just be poor battery i guess, but are there any issues with the pcb's etc.... I see they are an expensive replacement part ? Again, if anyone could offer a...

One other question in relation to this bass..... The neck is three peice bolt on, I can feel a distinct but only faint line of one of the three peices that is glued together to make the neck ? I'm not too bothered about it and would be happy enough to remove the neck and fettle it smooth...

Hi folks, Very sorry to jump in with a first post acting a daft question..... But.... I'm considering a purchase of a Warwick streamer LX. Jazzman 4 string. It's not a model I'm familiar with ? Streamer LX ,yes..... Jazzman ,yes.... But streamer LX jazzman ? Nope? It plays very well...
