frets

Hey peeps. The neck of my Infinity SN seems to be a bit crupped up. There's a "depression" from about 3rd fret to 8th among other stuff. I'm having really hard time getting a good setup on it. Hard to get a good photo of the situation, but take a look: What would you suggest me to...

Hi people. I need your advice: I have a '89 NT6 Thumb and I am wondering of replacing the frets. Now they're quite worn out and smooth (I think they had even been filed someday). I guess that replacing them with frewsh ones I will improve in sound and playability. Don't you think? So...

Not sure if this topic is already out there. But I need some clarification here. Some years back I had a '98 NT Thumb Bass 4, sold it and spent the last few years regretting it. Anyway I had a chance to score a '94 NT Thumb Bass 4 and I did. Yes, I have been vindicated. Now from what I can...

I 'm thinkin' about replacing the frets on my RB 'vette with a set of Warwick frets available through the web shop. Will they match? Are there any fret tang width or radius issues? Of course an experienced luthier will do this.

Hello everybody. Sorry in case I posted double topics, I did't find nothing that matches my needs... I have a couple of questions and I try on the forum, 'cause at Warwick no one replied to me :( 1) Are the spare bronze frets sold on the site, the only ones, suitable to re-fret my 1990...

being in America, can I order aftermarket frets off of this site or would I have to get them through an authorized Warwick dealer? I need a re-fret on my Streamette.

Was just researching the true temperment fret system and found a picture of a warwick with the system. Assume it was sent to the TT company for customization. would like to see the rest of the bass. looks pretty cool, would liek to hear it.

My '97 Thumb NT 5 string has some seriously worn 2nd and 3rd frets in particular, and causing a bit of a buzz. So.....are there any drawbacks to just replacing those two frets as opposed to doing the entire neck? The frets have already been dressed "as low as they will go" according to a local...

As many are aware I have just grabbed this fellow from Sascha here at the Warwick forum. Great bass but I noticed from the get go it had a slight buzz when fretting the 3rd fret E string. I thought it was gonna be a simple adjustment but I have adjusted the nut and bridge saddles and its still...

i have some death spots on a rockbass corvette basic passiv. a string 5 th d string 12 th can someone tell me what causes this problem (and solve it) and why not the whole fret is death.:confused: the vette is one month old

Hi, The brass frets on my vette $$ are really dirty, I was wondering what do you guys use to clean the frets....

Yeah so this sounds ignorant and coming from someone with 5 (only 3 fretted though) warwick basses you are all probably thinking I should know this.... but I don't. I usually send my basses to Long and McQuaid for fret detail. They told me they use lemon oil and a light sos pad. I now want to...

I figured most of you do or have, but I noticed mine were starting to tarnish a little so I broke out the Brasso on theme and they came out looking like new. How often do you guys polish them on your Wick's? Tim I took this picture on one of my wifes antique tables...

Try this one. D'Andrea Lemon Oil. Jay cloth ( the blue & white striped ones ) Put 2-3 dabs on the cloth & lightly rub over fretboard & leave for 30 mins. Rub each fret using the Jay cloth & watch the grime lift from the frets. It just floats off ! Burnish with a soft cloth for mirror frets! No...

Hello gentlemen! Question about my frets because frets came not bright golden color, as they are .. Came opaque and ugly! Is there any way to restore its original brightness? A product for this? I will put a picture of close and neat to see what you tell me to do .. You know everything :D

I've just picked up on the 'bay a flaming Thumb NT 5 year 2006. Absolutely the best deal of my life, considering how much I've paid for it and its screamingly perfect conditions. Today I've had the opportunity to pass sometime with it (a true moment of romance, actually). I've noticed that...

Sorry mods if this is in the wrong section. Move if need be. Before you ask, I'm not endorsing or selling this product. I heard about it last week on talkbass.com, and decided to give it a try. You guys ever get tired of masking your fretboard off when you clean your frets? How about that...

May be a „cheap trick“ but helps checking the distance between frets and strings: Of course you can use an old ruler left from school. But however the zero is not where it should. Additionally this is no an exact method, especially after heavy gigs :? My proposal is to use on of those...

I went to get a new set of strings (DR HighBeams) awhile ago and while wandering around the store I went into the Brass and Woodwind section. There is a product called Glo-Cloth, manufacturer: Kaman Music, part number 3590 made for dry polishing silver-plated brass instruments. It's $3 US for a...

I managed to ding up one of my frets a few days ago, I have no idea how it happened but noticed a lil ding on the side of it. Not where the string contacts, Well after freaking out a bit I got out the 600gritt sandpaper and the steel wool and it did an awesome job at getting it out. I checked it...
