    9v Battery compartment & lid

    Guys, I need the 1, maybe even 2 lids. People with vintage warwicks will know that these lids break often. Warwick online shop has them, at 23,68 euros for the lid & compartment, while I would only need the lid. Added to that will be 8 euros for shipping to the Netherlands. Does anyone...

    Warwick Bass noise issue

    I have had a Warwick Thumb 5 NT for about 2 months. It's been great, but then all of a sudden it's started to make a really bad noise, like distortion. I've change the battery twice but the problem still remains. It's unplayable. Has anyone had the same issue and offer advice on how to solve...

    Battery problems...

    Hi fellow Warwickians, I've been having trouble with my Corvette FNA Jazzman - it's draining batteries ridiculously fast, like every couple of days. I really want to be using it rather than my back up, but I'm not sure if I could fix it or not, and I don't really know what the problem...

    saving battery

    hi, I'm the new owner of a corvette 5 str bass and have a little question about preamp and batteries. It seems that the preamp eat a lot of battery, the last one I changed was only 10 days duration... maybe there is a trick to save battery when I do not use the bass: pulling the volume knob or...

    Output jack cuts out, battery dies quickly

    Hey all, I just joined this site today. In early 2010, I bought a 2002 Bubinga Corvette Standard 5 string with active pickups from a store. It was the only model left that had the fat profile D neck that I liked as soon as I touched it. This was my first 'professional quality' electric...

So i switch the bass back to passive and it works, so i take the battery out and test it, still good, change the battery and it starts heating up heaps and the bass starts making...

    Battery panel of the earlier Rockbasses

    I have nothing to say against the Rockbasses except for this one thing. My Rockbass' battery panel is bolted with 5 screws. Usually guitars/basses with active pickups have covers which can easily be removed by hand. So far I didn't have trouble of dead batteries on stage but it might happen some...

I use active during rehearsals and gigs however use passive at home etc. I have had this bass for two years now and run it through a Hartke...

    Stuck plastic battery compartment door...

    Hello. I just recently bought a new Warwick Corvette $$ 4-string, and I love the tone, look, and style of this bass. I have one issue with it though... One of the tabs on the black plastic battery compartment cover on the back of the bass is stuck. What is the best tool to use, and what is...

    Knobs up = battery drain?

    Will your battery drain faster if you play with your tone knobs up instead of flat?

    average battery life?

    Just curious about how long does your battery last. For me I have changed it 2 times in 2 months. Was wondering if it was normal (since the battery on my fender lasted 1 year and a half and I play both bass the same) or if I had some weird electrical problem. I play about 1 to 2 hours 5 to 6...

    Rattling 9V Battery

    I own an Active Warwick Corvette Rockbass and i noticed that when i play (mainly when i stand up) the 9V battery rattles around inside the bass. Would it be ok to put something like foam around the battery to stop it rattling? Cheers

    What kind of 9 volt battery should I use?

    Hi everyone, I was just curious if it matters what kind of 9 volt battery should be used in my Thumb. The battery that came from Germany is the Vinnic "Extra Heavy Duty", the same and only one that they have in the online Warwick shop. I replaced it with a Duracell Alkaline. Is there a...

    [?] Battery saving in passive switch status

    Hi I'd like to know if there's battery consumption when I have my bass plugged (I mean connected with the jack but me not playing) and the volume knob pulled in passive mode. It's for not to unplug the jack. It's a 90's thumb NT with bartolini and the original electronics. thanks
