    Sparkle/Glitter/Rainbow/Holographic finish basses

    So I've had a small obsession with the Carvin "Harlequin Prismatique" finish for quite some time, but they don't make it anymore and finding a bass with it is rare. Warwick just made this as well Invalid Link Removed Is there any other brand that will make a ridiculous, rainbow or glittery...

    Suggestions for a good all-in-one fly rig for intl. gigs?

    Ok, so I've got a tour in Japan coming up (I'm from Australia) and possibly Europe next year, and as it stands the majority of my gigs are interstate involving planes anyway so I've stopped using a pedalboard and just been using the Markbass Tuber Rocker 500 with a wireless/tuner as my fly rig...

    What's with no venues having PA/FOH gear?

    From what I've gathered from everyone going on about owning/purchasing/maintaining a PA to take to gigs, and mostly from the US crowd... Do you guys really have to take your own PA's to gigs, own all your own lighting, venues are literally a stage and nothing else? Is that actually true, is it...

    Asking online sellers for proof an amp works before buying..

    Ok, so I had a REALLY bad time about 6 months ago when I bought an amp from ebay seller "Geatnuts" (aka, Sweetwater apparently) and it arrived from factory with a blown fuse, and then blew all replacement fuses - so there must have been an underlying electrical issue that could not have possibly...

    Band websites - How important are they for small bands

    I've done a bunch of research into the pro's and cons.. and I honestly think, given the overall approach my (unsigned, original and active) band has, we could benefit more from a website than relying soley on social media. The Facebook & Instagram worked for a while in establishing a small but...

    Compressors similar to the Empress but smaller/cheaper?

    Hey everyone I'm building a fly rig and need it to be small. so I need a smaller alternative to the Empress I currently use, which I do love, but want to make the pedalboard as light as possible. What other alternative compressors smaller in size, are out there that have a similar colouring -...

    Travel Rig - Take Pedalboard OR Amp (but not both)

    TLDR; Basically it's gotten to the point where I'm a month away from multiple fly out gigs, with no gear to take. My options are get a class D amp as an all round solution for when I can't use a full rig, or get a duplicate pedalboard set up. My current set up, live and rehearsing locally is...

    Does this kind of bass exist...

    A short/med scale carbon fiber neck bass that isn't headless? I really love the Modulus, Peavy G Bass style carbon necks...BUT, full scales just aren't comfortable enough for me to play constantly, so it'd be a big investment for minimal return if I was to buy a 34" Modulus for example. Was...

    What's your "White Whale" bass?

    So me and one of my workmates, who are both bassists, got into a conversation over friday drinks about our dream, unattainable, white whale basses. His was a old Rickenbacker in a particular finish, mine, a 32" purpleheart body custom warwick thumb (when I joined, I saw the thread where it...

    Passive Pre-amp/Pickups

    Hey all, in the process of putting together a "frankenwarwick" bass and want some suggestions of passive electronics to put in it. I currently have three holes for pots, would be happy to have somethings stacked though if need be. Currently have a bass with the MEC Dynamic Correction pickups...

    Need help identifying Warwick "copy" bass

    Found this online but have never heard of the brand. It looks like a Streamer as far as body shape goes, and they've even kept to the Warwick headstock shape when making it. Ad said custom body, but I think it's a custom neck too not just a new headstock veneer, as the laminations seem too...

    Short Scale Warwick Corvette Conversion/Build

    So I've had this idea for a while of converting a standard scale Warwick to a short scale. The idea mostly comes from frustration of not being able to find something already made to specs that suit my needs and what I personally wanted from a bass. I've googled everywhere to find information...

    Warwick purpleheart short scale build advice

    I've recently started playing in a band which will be recording and touring a lot in the next year or two, so I want to get a really good bass. I currently have the rock bass corvette short scale and it's seriously great for a RB and I love it, but I want something a cut above that. The only...

    greetings, from an Australian metalhead, noob and warwick enthusiast.

    Hi everyone, I'm new the forums and bass in general. I joined a friends band on a whim 2 months ago and switched from guitar to bass. I had an Ibanez mikro for a few weeks as a total beginner, but now play a warwick short scale corvette (back issues mean sadly full scale basses dont work for...
