I used to have one of these Warwick Streamer Standards that had a bucker in the sweet spot. That was a cool Rock sounding Warwick.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Mine has pretty significant differences in the 3 different settings, big lowend boost in the "neck" position, treble, bite/agressive in the neck position. Middle position is just kind of lacking to my ears. I usually keep it in the neck position.
The 90's model I had (was it a 300? I can't remember, whatever the original one was), it wasn't a huge difference between the modes. Noticeable solo, but really not drastic.
I have a confession to make: never played any variety of MM.
No EBs, no Sterling, and no SUBs.
Haven't lost any sleep.

I'm still happy with what it's doing for me and the bass construction is outstanding.
I have a PJ RB650 and now the Black Eagle for a J. But both feel like toys compared to the ATK or Gecko. Hence contemplating another warmoth build... Walnut core/Koa top and birdseye neck would have some heft to it.
Remind me, what 810 is that?I'm too cheap for real P bass, so I made my own...
No SVT either, I have to get by with this little guy...
It's an Ampeg 810e. I bought it new from GC probably 10 years ago or so. A guy I knew who liked the band I was in at the time was working there and sold it to me for like 25%. I think he only worked there for a week haha.
I'm still considering grabbing a squier P and slapping a GZR set in there. Could do it all for cost, so it wouldn't be an expensive project. Just don't know what I would use it for. Current band is in B and I like using a 5 instead of tuning down a 4.
Yep, the original plan was to build a 415 to go under it, but the funds got diverted to emergency dental work right before I was going to buy the materials. Then I was going to have Atlas make me something, but yadda yadda financial woes. The 810 sounds great with it though. The amp is very hi-fi naturally, so the high end roll off of the sealed 810 compliments it nicely.
Pretty much.
After playing the Rick almost exclusively since my last report, I finally took some time to switch back to the Precision and though "Wait, why do I ever play anything else?" Precision + Sunn is really something special. Mind, the Rick won't be going anywhere, but it's funny when you get all hyped on a new bass only to go back to an old one and realize it's still got everything you wanted anyways.
