Shocker! Warrior Adam Nitti Signature!

#21
Adam put one of these in my hands the year they came out, and told me to go for it. Even though I'm not a huge Warrior fan, this bass made me rethink some things! Still not a big fan of the Barts. It's funny that this one reminds you of a Roscoe. The one I played had an MTD thing happening.

I'd love to, but I'm still looking for a simple way to do clips with drum tracks without spending 100's of dollars and hours upon hours learning a software package (since I'm not really interested in setting up a home studio and doing a lot more of that kind of thing).

Any suggestions?

I don`t know any free multitrack software. The most simple one I`ve used to record a bass track along with drums is Adobe Audition (FKA Cool Edit Pro).

I`ve several drum tracks that came with some magazines. I can send you some of them tonight if you want. They`ve been very useful for practicing / recording purposes.

Nice, Vic. I've always thought that anyone who digs the aesthetic of Skjolds (as we both do) would also dig Warriors. There's a dealer here in Denver who hangs at least eight of them on the wall, so I've seen a few. Yours is as nice as any of them!

This makes me even more interested as the 5501 I have with Bart soaps does indeed have that "too much glass on the top end" thing going on.
If these are more nuanced than that, and better for a more fingerstyle guy like me, that's very much up my alley...

Yeah, the slap tone is great on this bass, but these pickups are particularly great for fingerstyle, IMHO.

Vic, you are seriously moving into Tom Bowlus territory when it comes to owning tons of cool basses.:) You know the deal, take that Warrior to the STL GTG this summer!:D

You got it! :)

Oh, and don't even make me laugh trying to compare me to TB, that guy is LIGHT YEARS ahead of me, and always will be, but that's fine. :)

I'm convinced, at least for my tastes and playing style, the bart X-whatever pickups are KEY. This thing is much more aggressive than the dual soap models I've played.

I'm kind of the same way with the pickup configuration on mine. I call it the reverse Lakland, but the MM/J with the J at the bridge. I really feel like this is a big part of the tone with mine (of course it could be the mahogany/purpleheart neck, or the ash wings, or the maple board), and I think more manufacturers will move to it in the future.

It just makes more sense to me than the Lakland. For example, when you are playing a Jazz, how often do you solo (or favor) the neck pickup? Now, compare that to the frequency with which you solo (or favor) the bridge pickup.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's definitely more of a modern sound than like a J bass sound, BUT, MTD's, at least to me, sound a lot wider and brighter. That's why I compare it a bit to a Roscoe.

Thing is, the two frustrations I had with the Roscoes were that the B string was actually too much for me, AND, I always felt like there was a veil over the high end. Neither of those "issues" are on this bass. Quick disclaimer: Both of mine were Spanish Cedar bodies and the original elex and pickups... these days, Roscoe offers a LOT more elex options, and it would've been better for me with an ash body, so take my "criticisms" with that grain of salt.

Doesn't have to be free... just I don't want to spend a LOT of money on software that is feature laden with things I have no intention of ever using. Maybe it doesn't exist, but all I really want is some inexpensive (less than $100 USD) software that has good sounding drum tracks and loops that I can record into quickly and easily without having to get into things like configuring complex projects... like "jam" software... like the kind of software an artist would use for a very rough cut of something to save an idea for later development.

I am SO on-board with this.

I've always felt bridge pickups should be narrow aperture and neck pickups should be wide. Always. I don't know if it's on the docket for me money-wise, but at this point, if I can find a good deal on one of their current J/soap models, I want to check it out.

Vic, I did a recording with a Nitti signature that had an ash body, walnut top and a J in the bridge position and a fatboy in the neck position and that bass KILLED. Absolutely the best sounding recorded bass I have had and I was stupid enough to sell it. That is the only bass that I have sold that I have regrets about...

For what it's worth, I just posted a couple of new tunes in this thread:

Nice!

Yeah, I can hear that same cool growl in there... I really don't think you can get that without the X in the bridge. However, I think the tone on your bass is a bit sweeter with that big soap in the neck... maybe a bit fuller sounding. I love the focus and aggression of mine, but yours sounds great as well... gotta' check one of those out!

UGH! Now I have to start looking for a deal on one of those too... at least to check it out... hopefully I don't find it for a few months... :)

Here you go:

This version of Acid is $69.95. I have the Pro version which costs $250 and really like it. The interface is exactly the same, with some scaled back features. (I've also heard that if you're recording a bunch of audio tracks it can get glitchy, but 2 track recording like you're talking about shouldn't be a problem at all.)
