    The Heads Up Thread

    Thomann are selling off their last few PS Starbasses at silly prices. They've only got gold FL 4-string and gold fretted 5, There goes my resolution not to buy any more basses this year. :D

    Warwick alian standard 5 string

    From the pics here: Warwick Basses Amps & Rock'n Roll you can see that the jack socket is not also a strap button: :d

    Warwick alian standard 5 string

    That's odd - I wonder why they put the Standard output jack in a different place so that it can't be used as a strap button? Anyway, many people play acoustics with just one strap button: that button is attached to the bottom of the bass, and the other end of your strap is tied around the...

    problem with my warwick thumb

    The input jack is often a problem, so you could try replacing it. But like Flo said, you can also just open up the compartment and try moving wires around to see if you can identify the problem.

    Reshaping a Corvette body?

    :) It was a bit of a wild guess. Anyway, that's an interesting suggestion you have there - I'll give it a go on my Thumb and see how the balance changes.

    Reshaping a Corvette body?

    I don't know if this is what Glen means, but: If you attach both ends of your strap to the top horn, then the bass balances pretty well, since that strap button is very near the centre of gravity of the bass. If you use the straplocks in the normal way you can't do this, but you can do it if...

    Chorus Pedal Opinions and Suggestions

    If you're really worried about the true-bypass aspect, then why not buy a true-bypass looper, so that you can use your Boss, but have it completely out of the signal path when you want it off?

    rockbass alien std fretless with fretlines?

    I remember when the RB alien was first announced they said that the fretless would have lines. But it looks like that has changed, and on the website now it says they are unlined. And certainly the picture here shows it without lines.

    Partizan

    That is great news! I was kinda worried about you when you pulled out of the music scene a year or two back, so it's really good to hear how much you're back into it! :)

    Ordered a Corvette Basic Fretless :-)

    Nice! And even nicer that it isn't Blujay's scratched RB! But you're gonna be a good boy and put some nice TI Jazz Flats on it now, aren't you?;)

    Intonation

    +1 to that, and to Luke's suggestion that you sort the intonation out after changing the strings. But I have heard of people removing the spring from the bridge in order to get more room for intonation adjustment, and it works fine, so don't be afraid to do it if you need to.

    Neck Fit Question

    I think the general rule is that you shouldn't expect to be able to swap necks between a RB and a Warwick. It might work, but don't count on it. And then there's the fact that it's a short-scale neck. I would expect a short-scale neck to require the bridge to be positioned differently. In...
