hardware

I recently acquired a Warwick Fortress One 5 string, vintage 1994. On the whole very pleased with it. Am I right in thinking the hardware for this instrument is gold plated rather than some other gold coloured finish? The hardware is all working, but is dirty and worn/discoloured in places...

Hi people, The black paint is slowly starting to come off of the bridge (string saddle) on my Vampyre SN5. A bought it a few months ago in mint condition, almost not played at all, and the bridge did not miss any paint so the coming off started with me. :oops: I am though one of the sweatier...

I had a SSII that came with gold hardware (2006 switched in 2012). It's in decent shape, not new. I switched the whole bass to black hardware prior to selling it. This is a complete set, all the way down to pick up screws. I will post general pics soon. I will ship free to the CONUS...

Hello fellow Warwick lovers! I have had my beloved Streamer Stage II for a wonderful 12 years now, and for a while have been feeling a need to customise it. It's a stock model, so gold hardware and natural finish. I'd like to firstly change hardware to black, the gold is really starting to...

Hi guys, I'm looking forward to buying a broadneck, 5 string streamer stage 1 bass from 1990. The seller states that he has lost a bridge saddle on the g-string, now my question is: are the bridge saddles available in the online shop the same as I would need for the 1990 bass? Thanks in...

I have a '94 Fortress One 5-string, and I need to replace all of the pickup-height screws, and one or two of the bridge saddles. I have looked at local hardware and music stores, and online at places like Allparts and Banzai, and no luck. The screws are 2.5 mm by 35 mm. The saddles, I don't...

My latest acquisition was a burgundy red LX4. I recently noticed that its Lx brethren are all wearing chrome hardware yet the one i got is all black running gear. Was this a standard with colored oil or was it a special order (BTW red oil with black HW is 17 kinds of tasty, specially with DR...

So, what I'm asking is: buying a new 2010 rockbass anywhere, what does the package bring (besides the bass obviously lol). Basic stuff like hardware keys (or whatever they are called)? Maybe a gig bag? :p or a strap.. (that would be nice) Anyway, if anyone could clear that up for me. Btw...

I'm considering buying a 2002 SII, but the hardware color it has is not my first choice. I am thinking of getting new hardware and doing a swap, but wanted to make sure that it will fit. Can anyone tell me if the current hardware is the same as the ones used in '02? Also, how hard will it be...

I have a 2000 Warwick Corvette 5 string. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have all the hardware changed from chrome to black? The tuners, two piece bridge, knobs, and strap locks need to be changed. I live in the U.S. so what dealer would I go to in order to have these parts ordered...

Hi all Custom Shop Warwick junky gear head bassists! :d I need some opinions and have thus far been impressed and in agreement with the overall vibe and views of the forum members here. Good stuff. I'm refinishing and upgrading many appointments of a recently purchased Streamer...

Has anyone got a picture of platinum / brushed steel hardware on a maple bass I can see? Ideally a stage 1?

Hi! I'm currently thinking of buying a Rockbass Vampyre (but not the 2009 model with the new bridge) as a backup bass; thing is, I hate how the chrome hardware looks on it so my 1st mod would be replacing all the chrome with black hardware (stealth look). I can find knobs & tuning machines, but...

hey guys , does anyone know where i can find black hardware. i want to replace the chrome things from my natural high polish rockbass corvette. so far i found in the warwick webshop the bridge en straplocks/pins, but not the controll knobs and tuning machines they ar only available in chrome ...

I posted a while back about my straplock issues - how they were worn around the screw and I removed/replace them. Today, I looked closer at the old locks. Here's what I saw: The dang groove is worn - the balls that hold it in place were working their way out! No wonder the nut came off...

Having recently encountered a breakage in one of my tuners I am thinking about changing out the gold hardware on my Streamer Stage II from gold to black, does anybody who has done this have any pictures that they can post? I'm curious to see the finished article as I much preferred the black...

Need a bit of help here if anyone knows.... I was restringing my bass yesterday and found out that the B-string tuner/machine head has broken and so cannot be re-strung. As my SS2 is my main gigging bass I need to get a replacement pretty urgently but does anyone know of on-line UK dealers...
