Thought I was a member like 2 years ago, but seemed to forget my handle (or I just never signed up).
In any case, hello!
My first official post!
Lets see, about me...
I dont like the way Fenders look or feel, but think the jazz basses sound amazing!
I owned an Ibanez SR400 and though it felt great, it didn't sound amazing.
I then owned a Gibson Ripper 1973 Set neck, it handled horribly, neck dive like crazy, but sounded really nice. (studio for sure)
I now own a 2002 Warwick Thumb BO 5 (my #2 favorite bass, NT 4 is my favorite) and think it sounds exactly like a bass should sound (for me, of course). I play it like a piano, hard and fast, with much articulation of attack and release. Specific tone to be sure, but exactly the tone I'm after.
Though I prefer Warwicks over any other 'commercial' brand, I am by no means a snob about which brand is better overall. Its like a race car, if its fast and handles the way you like it, its perfect for you.
Cheers!
