Ash was building a couple of "fan" neck basses. Did he ever complete them?

Wow that’s amazing. I can’t even imagine being able to do the rhythms of those slapped parts.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Anyone got an opinion on a Warwick RockBass Corvette Basic?

I don't play a lot of bass, mainly just for tracking purposes and my $17 Samick is a bit shit. What's the word on the Corvette Basics?

This is $400 sans case or even a gigbag. Nice looking thing though.

The plastickyest of plastic finishes. Necks can be small. Sound great if you're into that Warwick sound. Which I am. Presume it has the two "$" pickups?

They sound good in a modern, bright sort of way. Presume it has the two-band EQ? Can easily soften them a little with that. Just don't expect it to sound like a 60s Jazz bass.

and no, wtf would anyone want to sound like Adam Clayton and why couldn't they get a goodish approximation without buying a signature amp???


Ok, I know we're mostly guitar players as well. But this is the common sense bass player in me talking. I have one Bass preset in my MG-30. I add virtual pedals as needed.

Thats it.

Its the guitar players job to spend a fuck tone (tonne) of cash on stuff not required to sound good.
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail

The amp is indefensible. Why, just why?
