    Give a warwick a try !!

    I've had a warwick streamer std five string two
    pickup model for about a year... and the the poor
    old faithfull fender precision has been neglected
    ever since.

    It's great at funky jaco type sounds mixing the
    bridge and neck pickup....also big punchy sounds
    on the neck pickup.

    And the neck is the same as the more expensive
    models.

    at £500 - £600 :D a bargin...

    i don't think the OLP basses are really that great for slapping from what I hear.. i could be wrong.... but thats just what I heard.... and a fender jazz bass sounds most excellent when slapped..

    If I'm not mistaken Stuart Zender played Warwicks not that that matters. I'd stay far away from the OLP MM stuff, a jazz bass MIA or MIM will give you a much better slap sound, and you don't even need to go to the active electronics in the deluxe basses to get it. The standards have a classic slap sound.

    stu played warwicks. he was the one who influenced me to try 'em.

    i'd recommend a warwick streamer LX, or perhaps a neck thru one if you can get one used. maybe even a corvette proline.



    i think that the slap sound on a warwick is one of the best out there, but that's just my not so unbiased opinion.
