Bass Gear (cont'd)
(Left) Warwick Steve Bailey Signature 6-String Fretless
Steve Bailey’s list of collaborations is about 10 miles long, and it got that
way because he can do just about anything on a bass. His new signature
Warwick looked very much like an instrument that could keep up, too.
With a snakewood fretboard, asymmetric neck radius, and cool electronic features like a harmonic enhancer that boosts high-mid content, it’s an
endless well of tone. warwickbass.com
(Above) AER Amp Three
The newest addition to AER’s Bottom Line series pumps 200 watts
through two 8" speakers. Tone controls include a 3-band EQ, a Bass
Boost function for + 10 dB of kick at 55 Hz, a Colour knob that cuts
mids and boosts treble, a Tone Balance control, and Ratio and Threshold
controls for the compression circuit. aer-amps.com
