bass

Ok, so my band teacher (who i'm renting my U.R.B. from) decided that she was not going to lend it out again next year, so that her student can play it. I have no money, and even if I did my parents would not allow me to buy one even a cheap electric version. So, my only option is...

If it would also pull of a jazz sound, i'd be one happy mofo! =D

I have to admit when I am on forums and find these kind of threads where people give their advice about someone's potential upcoming purchase I enjoy them tremendously. Now, I'm finally writing one! :) I came across a 'new' Warwick 4 string Corv. Standard fretless while looking at a Corv. 5...

I want to string one of my 6 string 34" scale Warwick basses as a "piccolo". I would also like to keep the tuning as standard BEADGC but obviously an octave higher than the normal bass. Has anyone got advice on the gauge strings I would use and where I can get them? Having read a few posts on...

Hi everyone, I've doing some work with The Bass Centre UK and thought I'd give you Warwick lovers a heads up on some awesome bargains! - absolutely beautiful bass...half price! - less than half price! - less than half price! - just £1499 There are also a couple of 'email only'...

I was wondering can you get capo's for bass? And if not are there any guitar capo's that would fit? Just interested in trying some stuff out with them =D

Hey guys, If someone can find this out for me it would be a big help! 07 Thumb Bass NT5 - are the pickup screws 30mm or 35mm? Finding out without having to go home and grab one outta the bass will save me some time this arvo :) Lazy bugger, yup!! Cheers, Jono

There are only 3 members in my band me the guitar and drums i need to get a volume boost for when my guitarist is doing solos and for when i do solos. I was thinking something true bypass as well... I have an El Grande but its overdrive and i like my tone too much to be distorting it... I was...

hi i found a picture of a very interesting bass, but i don't know anything about it. does anyone know who build it ?

Any one have some favorite bass lines or sounds that they would care to share? I'll start off with some Mark Heyward-Chaplin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ad0fvaHG3g As with another song, this one is not available for purchase new, although I understand that the album will be...

I recently acquired it off good old eBay for what I felt was a ridiculous price given the rarity of these basses. It was well faded, dirty, and missing a knob when I got it, but cleaning it up is half the fun anyway... What I didn't know, is that it is semi hollow. I took the pickups and...

We all have had those moments with a song or songs that first made us want to play bass. For me it was Camphor and Read Between the lines by the Fixx off their Walkabout album (Dan K. Brown on bass). What about you?

Hello all, I am pleased to see the interest (morbid curiosity?) in the Just Intonation Bass. The basic design concept for the tuning system is explained at the link below. Just click on "Just Intonation" after entering. It is a thorough description that will take a moment of your time but for...

I have two Corvette $$'s and I only ever play one of them. Ive had for about 3 years, still very good condition. Ocean blue stained high polish finish. How much do you guys think I should be able to get for it...

Hi Guys! I'm new to the forum and to Warwick. This seems like a friendly place and I have learned a lot from reading the posts. My new (and as of yet only) Warwick is a 2008 Corvette Standard Bubinga (4 string). I'd been eyeing it for some time and finally made the plunge a couple or so...

hi folks there is a german bass manufacturer, going by the name of EYB he made a jazz bass, with ovangkol neck, ovangkol body, ebony fingerboard, brass bridge (!!), brass nut, ... i bet it sounds nice ! although, 5.6kg is a bit much for a normal human being, who doesn't develop huge...

Hey guys. Seems like I've got a shed load of problems. Before today I had two broken tweeters and a failing straplock. Wasnt too bothered about these. Woulodnt take toooo much money to fix. Then today.......just noticed these; How bad do you reakon it is and how would you...

I just got this adapter that fix about 95% of the neck dive of a Thumb Bass, it won't damage the bass and you don't have to make any modifications to the bass, but it must have warwick strap locks to make it work. it may look a little bit weird but I don't have to hold the bass because the neck...

Ok so I am performing the song Perdido-Duke Ellington Our band is taking the song very quickly 300 BPM at a minimum, no joke Theres my solo, i'd appreciate any suggestions, but there is not a lot of room for experimentation. Because the band director just told me to play the bass line an...
