finish

Hi all, I have a Streamer LX, flame maple tobacco satin finish, which seemed to be very sensitive to every scratch. Even a small scratch causes the finish to detach from the wood, leaving white marks. Just wondering if it is common and ‘normal’ with satin finish or there’s an issue with my...

Hi there, im relatively new to this forum, but i since i have now 3 warwicks i wanted to learn more about this and i joined the forum, great info tough! =)) Im more a Fender guy, but im learning about the Warwick World... Well the thing is this, i have a 93 5 string Thumb, a 2012 RB...

Hi all, This is my first time posting here, being a recent convert to Warwicks. After borrowing a streamer LX, I had the opportunity to purchase a 1995 Streamer stage one in my favorite finish with nice gold hardware. The bass is lovely, but came with some playing wear around the pick ups...

Well, I just would like to hear what you guys think look the best, and a few more in-depth questions. What do you all think about the satin finish compared to the High gloss? Would you rather get the oiled instead? Ive been dreaming about the vampyre nt bass for ages.. Keep saving a buck here...

Hi, new to the forum but a proud warwick owner for about 6 years... The question: I have a Corvette Standard 6 String that has about 10 years of use, natural oil finish. And as one would expect, the oil finish has started to wear off of the place right over the pickup where I place my thumb...

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

What's the difference between the warwick 'vette $$'s finish and the rockbass 'vette $$'s finish? The warwick is US swamp ash and on the rockbass it just says swamp ash. The warwick looks smoother, is it just the wood or has the grain been filled or what? Rockbass is on the left, Warwick on...

heyy guys, i have played a pretty nice squier jazz bass in metallic black for years now, it was my first bass.. in winter im gonna get my warwick thumb and the time to pimp up my j-bass has come. what i was wondering is how it would look like to get the finish off so i have the normal wood...

Hey guys, here is just one question that came to my mind a few days ago, when I saw that you can order Amaranth / Purple Heart in the Custom Shop. As far as I know, Amaranth will loose its colour when being exposed to the sun. So usually, you cover it with an UV blocking finish. Now I know...

Hi, I have an 09 Corvette Zebrano $$ special edition. I'm slightly confused about how I'm supposed to wax it. Some people are telling me that I should wax the neck (not the fingerboard though, obv!) others are saying only the body needs waxing. Also should I really need to wax it once a...

Does the Tone EQ work in passive mode as well in this model ?

hey chaps, is there really no care that i can give my ssII coloured oil finish? i mean, you aren´t allowed to wax it. so says the manual. but there must be something out there (some oil or something) that i can use... i feel really bad for not giving my bass any care :-) so...

Do you think leaving a Bubinga Corvette in the sun for a while will improve the finish? I read about someone doing it but can't find the thread.

Wow would you go about sanding the front of an SSI natural oil finish? Just to go a bit deeper and get some extra dirt out and such.

There once was a tech link regarding oil finish ding repair. I see it referenced in a few posts but it seems the link was removed or moved. Any one have that info? I have a '97 Corvette with a very small ding by the intonation screw on the "e" string (I wonder how that happened?!) Dang! I...

Okay, here's the scenario: I currently own a 2004 Warwick Corvette Pro Line 4, in natural. I wax her about once a month, but dread to do so once "that time of the month" rolls around again. I'm seriously considering sealing her up with a satin poly. I'm going to be doing some body work on...

Has anyone ever successfully refinished an oil finish to high gloss. I realise I may be flamed over this and people may say 'why', but I've recently bought an LX broadneck, and the way I sweat at gigs is gonna ruin it.

Hey everyone - what would be the finish on this bass to the best of your knowledge? Oil? Satin maybe?

Hey there guys, I've just bought a Warwick Streamer Stage one with a honey violin high polish finish. I'm looking to take the finish off. (Waiting for stones to be thrown!) Any ideas what the finish is made of anyone?? I know It sounds crazy but I know what Warwick I want I...

:D .. i allready asked Gregory in 2008 why the paint on my 500 euro piezo bridge is full of dust or something rough in it? he said that i'm the first person to ask this question :D ok, i'm a perfectionist! don't kill me, that's why i play Warwick basses :D this was the first time i saw...
