fret

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this type of thread, if so I apologize. First off i'm new here, but so far I like it very informative and friendly! This week I got my first Warwick bass, its a 2003 (I think) Corvette standard. My favorite part is, its a lefty! Today my order of...

it's been about a month that i have my corvette$$ and i've decided to lower the action. I followed seth's instructions and lowered the bridge, but I did not feel the need to touch the saddles. I lowered the bridge, set the intonation but there is horrible fretbuzz after the 12th fret on every...

hey guys, I did not touch my warwick corvette $$ for quite a bit, today i put on new strings, and for some reason the strings are rattling when i play something beyond the 10th fret. Its mainly the E-string, but the A- and D-string also rattle quite a bit. I wanted to adjust the Truss Rod, but...

Hi all, With my late '90s Thumb NT I have fret buzz from about the 17th fret up. I'm not sure what to adjust. I always had the strings very tight to the fretboard which I like a lot. Simply increase the height of the bridge feels wrong (?), also because it will increase the distance from...

self explanitory. my 5 string buzzes at the 7th fret bad. brought it to 2 techs and the "fixed" it buy raising the saddles up so the action is riddiculously high and he adjusted my truss rod. So time has come to fix it my self. want something done right. So can any one help me with the...

Hello everybody! I bought a Corvette Std Ash 4 (a fresh '08 model) about 9 months ago. I didn't have any problems with the original strings, uh Black Labels I think, but decided to change them with D'Addario strings (the nickel plated ones!) two months ago, since i find them to be good strings...

Hi all, I adjusted the truss rod so my 5-string warwick's neck is bowed back a little bit. But after the adjustment, I found that in G string, open fret and 12th fret are in tune while the 24th fret is flat. I adjusted the bridge and nut but still couldn't help. Also, I found that the...

Maybe I'm just getting old (or going blind), but I've really had trouble seeing the Warwick side-only fret markers during shows lately. I find myself searching the stage for good lighting when I know a specific part, where being able to reference the fret markers is critical, is coming up. I...

when did they stop putting fret markers on thumb nts

Hi guys, Do you think the old fret makes slapping sounds thiner ? my Thumb 5 NT is 1990 bass, last time I took it to the shop, they said the fret is so played, I am thinking if it will sound better after refret...... What is your idea? Joe

So, this has been discussed briefly in the CS wish list section, and Gregory wants to know more about how we feel towards a zero fret option. What's your opinion on this one guys ?? Me, I wonder why there are so few basses with a zero fret................It seems like a good idea, and since...

I'm getting frett buzzing only on the 15th of the G string and the 24th fret on all the strings. I would think that the strings are to low but they feel right on the rest of the neck and the neck is as flat as I want it. Please help.

Hi one and all. Can anyone recommend a descent guitar tech who can offer a cheaper alternative to the SIM's LED's? I know SIM's rep is really good but to me they are just slightly over the top, especially when you consider the cost of a single LED is only a couple of quid. I am...

How is the Corvette for upper fret access? I've never remembered to test it when trying one out, it just looks kinda limited in the pictures. Limited compared to some Ibanezes maybe. Not that this will be a deciding factor by any stretch, chances are if I could play one as may times as I did...

I just got a Corvette RB 5 string and the neck seemed to bow a little. Anyways I played with it and got it straighter. Also I noticed that the E string around the 5th fret (A) buzzed when I played it. i tried raising the saddles and the JAN and got it gone. then i noticed that my A string on the...

Is it possible to have black fret markers? They would look awesome on a flame maple fretboard. If not , WHY NOT?

Hi guys! I just got a 97 vette and after removing the strings, I have noticed that if I slide my finger over the frets (mostly from fret 2 to 8 ) I can notice it´s not even. I can feel the gap a bit, more on E and A strings and if I play there I can hear some fret buzz. The bass is not set...

don't know how useful it would be, but it looks interesting: Oh, yes. 7 strings, with the middle 3 fretless. :? it's from an ebay auction item # 150163994268 if you want to see the rest of it's glorious madness.

I know, for some this option might seem like asking too much but those who have played basses with different size frets(jumbo,medium,banjo,mandolin...) know that it can make all the difference.Or not. What do you think? would that be a good idea? After all if you have the option of putting your...

Just put my JanIII on and I have raised it to where when I fret the E or G on the third fret there is just a slight gap above the first fret. That's how the old one was. I now have fret buzz but only above fret 12. What do I need to adjust? I have raised and lowered the nut but it hasn't helped...
