basses

Can anyone tell me whether the finish on early high polish basses was nitro or poly?

Hey guys, I have never seen this kind of Warwick before until I discovered this website. The Vampyre NT is hands down one of the coolest / sexiest looking basses I have ever seen. Are they extremely rare to find in the states ? (I'm meaning most general guitar stores like guitar center )...

hi guys im at that age were you have sh*t all money and you cant keep using other peoples cars anymore and its time to buy your own. now i need a car that i can fit my stack and 6 guitars in. witch shouldn't be hard to find. but the problem is i am a keen dirt bike rider and i also need to be...

With i play on 4-strings basses it's ok. But when i play on 5-strings basses sound disappears. All indicators on amp works but no sound. And i need to turn off and then turn on the amp to have a sound. It's just like as if triggered some protection on amp. :?:

Luke Gower of COG fame has been waiting patiently for his new WARWICK Custom Shop Thumb Basses to arrive from Germany. Last week this day dawned and Bass People Annandale where kind enough to hand them over! (just) The 2 basses in question – Thumb NT Neck thru, 34” scale, Wenge...

I've seen a couple of PNut Model basses available recently and was wondering if anyone could tell me how they sound compared to the SSIIs? I know that the wood used for construction is slightly different and the pick up configuration is different. Do these changes make a noticible difference...

Hey guys, I've been trying to get my slap technique sorted on my passive fortress but I can't quite get the right tone out of the bass. Any suggestions on how best to set up the tone controls and head (profet 3.2)? I was listening to some TM Stevens stuff and I know that he's got the 3 band...

does anyone have any links? I have seen only a few, including the Truth video.. and seriously drooling over the LEDs ;)

Ok, as some of you knw, I'm trying to setup a shop in my garage to build basses. Nothing too fancy, and not a carrer-altering move for me, but as a hobby "with benefits"... I have a promotion opportunity soon, way too soon for me, but I'm gonna take it, mainly because it's a great opportunity...

Opinions fly and advice is shared, about what we encounter shopping for a bass. It's important to realize that nearly all these 'reports' are of basses played "as they were hung" or at best with a few minutes spent making the set up more playable. ... And then we judge what we hear, and...

Hi, I'm totally new here, but I've got a question about the Warwick basses, since there are so many of 'em, and many have similar names/looks. So here's my question: What's the difference between a Corvette FNA Jazzman, an FNA Jazzman and a Streamer Jazzman? And with difference I mean...

Hi All! I've been in love with Thumb basses since several years. Especially with their tone. I'd love to own a NT but it's way too expensive. Hopefully, there's the BO's version. I'd like to know if, as far as sound / tone is concerned, there is a big difference between a BO and a NT Thumb...

By popular demand.....pics of some of my Wicks During chats tonight on the new Warwick forum, a couple of the guys wanted me to take some pics of my Wicks.....well, here ya go! I could only fit 5 on this stand, plus Avionix is using my Corvette Proline 6. So...enjoy! ~CTLG

Sorry if this question has been asked before, haven't been on for a while. Can the sig basses with unique body styles (I'm asking about the Zender bass, but I imagine this can apply to the CRB as well) be ordered from the custom shop with different options? thanks all!! :)

I understand that the Katana line of NT's and Bolt On's have been discontinued. I've seem them on Ebay. Does anyone have any opinions on these basses and to there sound. Thanks CIJ

Im sure they do but cant find any info on this! Sorry for the dumb question! I have an lx custom that is a bolt on so the neck is replaceable but am about to go for a stage 1, and I just want some assurance the neck is gonna be as stable as possible!

Hey! As some of you may know, I'm looking for a 3-band preamp for my Thumb bass. I'd preferably like it to be a MEC, but I'm looking at other options as well. What are people's experiences with Aguilar OBP-3 preamps in Warwicks (especially Thumb basses)?

How do I guarantee I'm not going to get ripped off. Whats the best way to ship ie: 1st class, next day ect. Is one company better than the other. Insurance sounds like a good idea, is it. So on and so on. Thanks

Just wanted to know if anybody knows about these basses. There is a guy offering me a trade for one of my wics for a Basic PM 5. They are supposedly in Germany. I do not know how they compare to Warwick and their prices. anybody?

Hey, I dont know if this problem has been brought up here before.. I live in Norway, and as far as I know, there is as close as zero chance to be able to find a really expensive Warwick in a shop, atleast the Vampyre. The only ones I find is the lowest in the Vette category, or used thumbs.. I...
