fortress

Hi. This is my first post here at this great site. I just recently bought a 93 Fortress One and I love it. However, the j bridge pickup is extremely noisy. It is the passive MEC Dynamic Correction type. The bass has an active preamp. When I bypass the preamp it is still noisy. It is also noisy...

Just received my latest Warwick, a '93 Fortress 1, coloured oil, seems a little darker than honey violin, though I guess it could have darkened with age. I'd give it 8/10, normal wear from use, nothing like abuse. The wenge neck is distinctively different from the ovangkol ones of today. Just...

Hey folks! Long-time lurker, first time poster. Several years ago, I purchased a Fortress One five string in red. I believe it's a 94, as it has the wenge neck/board, and the serial number ends in 94. Anyway, one of the MEC pickups doesn't seem to be working, so I figure I'll just...

I was going the forum and got to know about the Fortress One model. I was wondering why it is not listed in the website? Why was the production stopped? Those who have it, can you share something about the bass? The sound, the electrics, pictures, etc... :)

Hi all, Sorry to ask such a newb question but I am looking to buy my first bass guitar and love the look of the fortress that I have seen on some sites. The problem I have is that I cant find out whether the pic I have seen is the honey finish or natural.. One place lists it as one and...

Hey Warwickheads I'm working on saving up for my custom fortress at this point, and I need some help deciding a couple of key factors: One - I'm getting an afzelia body, with either a birdseye poplar, spalted maple, or birdseye maple top. Considering the tops are 1", are these woods going...

I am totally new to Fortresses, but can anyone tell me what this would sound like? Sam Ash near me is selling for $1,199, but it has been there a long time. Could probably get down to $1000. Thoughts? I've played it, but it need a set up, new strings, and desperately needs a...

I have a 97 Fortress MM with what looks like a birds eye maple body with a high gloss finish.My question is this standard stuff for that year.The other question I have is the control layout.I saw on the Warwick site the wiring diagram showing the vol/bal pot having a push/pull function.The bass...

Something I've never seen before, did this guy add the cover,is that stock or at least an option... Not quite my cup off coffee...

Hello all! I'm thinking about getting a new Fortress 5 fretless but there is no dealer around here that has one stock for me to try out. Is there some of you who own/tried one of those? How is the feel and the tone? How is the quality of the ebony? Is it all black or lightly/heavily figured...

Anyone knows the story behind the 2Tek/std. 2-piece bridge Fortress Flashbacks? Were Warwick out of 2Tek bridges, when they made the last of the Flashbacks? 2Tek bridge Flashback: Std. 2-piece bridge Flashback:

hey guys my name is zahir ali and i am writing from lahore pakistan. As you guys probably know the fortress rock bass has two adjustable saddles, the usual one next to the pick ups and the other one next to the tuning heads. The issue i have is that the saddle next to the tuning heads...

Just seen that, the guy ship international

I’m looking for a fretted 4-stringer, I love the looks of the Fortress RB, but is it any good for slappin’ and poppin’?

I know there are some old new stock Fortresses. And I've heard Warwick has got some Fortress bodies in stock.....................But I was wondering, can you order a Fortress CS ?? Why not ?? I assume that Warwick still has got the CNC program laying somewhere (in the closet).............People...

I am interested in trying to find one of these unique basses. I have not heard much about them. What kind of tone do they have? How do they play? Cheers, Wes

Anyone knowes this model? Seller claimes it's a Fortress One Limited Edition, anniversary model. Looks to me like a Fortress Flashback.

Hi guys, Saw this on Ebay, and following my recent Fortress purchase something struck me as odd - it's the chamfering around the neck joint. Is this from the factory or is this suspicious? P

Does anyone have the low down on why the fortress was discontinued? Ive had a Custom Fortress MM model since 97 and it has to be one of the best basses in the world. Ive owned loads of Top End Warwicks since then and none of them have come anywhere near the Fortress, hence their onward sale. It...

It's in pretty good nick actually, only a few dings and a slight bit of buckle rash but very good other than that. It's 2 pieces of maple on an orange/brown colour, plus the 3-piece wenge neck (which I really like). Couple of issues with it - it came with a truss-rod cover without "Fortress...
