neck

So let me preface this by stating that I am not a pro luthier, I am reasonably handy and have some background in woodworking and hobby instrument making. The methods I used might break your stuff. If you’re not ready to eat the cost of a busted neck and ruined tuning machines you should probably...

Hi. I have a Streamer double buck and noticed yesterday it will not tune up. On closer investigation I found a join on the headstock at the top, had started to split, as if coming unglued. It has gone as far as the top of the neck. Between the thick light piece and thinner darker wood. It's...

So i have a warwick rockbass corvette, i bought it about 5 months ago and i have a problem. My neck is bent slightly backwards and the strings are buzzing like crazy. The truss rod won't loosen, but i am however able to tighten it. Does anyone know what i could do about it or should i take it to...

I'm curious about a possible change here, maybe some of you will have a helpful suggestion. I have a Dolphin Pro2, maple bolt on neck. It extends into body cavity a few inches. See pic below. It's all fine, no problems or issues. I don't mind maple. I like Bubinga and dark woods more. Are...

Hi all, I've got an '03 Corvette that needs a new neck. These seem next to impossible to find without going through Warwick directly, and it costs an arm and a leg and takes four months. I found a Thumb BO neck for sale locally, and I'm wondering if that could be a solution to my problem. Has...

Hi! I've owned a Corvette for about 12 years. I've recently moved to a more humid climate...Oddly enough, I've noticed the bow on the neck has increased. It has a natural oil finish. So here are my questions. Does a more humid climate affect the bow of the neck? Would it help to straighten the...

Hello Guys! Quick questions on LED's. As I really wonder how it woukld turn out. How long does these LED's last? How do you replace these LED if they "spoiled" already? Do you advice to have LEDs on frets? Why or Why not? Would installation of these would affect the tone? Do you prefer using...

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...

Just got my hands on a sweet 2004 LTD, can't put this thing down. It's my first Warwick (of many, most likely) so I haven't been able to compare it to as many as I'd like, but the neck is deliciously chunky. Just wondering if this is an example of Warwick's "Standard" neck profile, or possibly...

I know they have changed the standard neck profile in the latest Wicks to hit Oz ( so probably the 09 release onwards) but I am wondering which profile is which. Is the current standard the old slim profile? and is the current fatneck the old standard? Or have i got it all ass-backwards...

Tonight I finally had the time to setup my SSI. I had decided to do this as the intonation wasn't quite right and slapping was harder on this bass then on the other two Wicks. I don't know if the order in which I did things is the usual way but here's what I did: 1. I lowered the bridge...

The neck on my FNA jazzman feels like a baseball bat in my hand and I am looking to experiment on it. Anyone with opinions?

hmmm...now, this is odd. i've just noticed a gap in the neck pocket of my newly-acquired '94 fortress. it's on the E-string side, between the side of the neck and the upper bout of the body. should i be concerned ? i think there may be a tiny bit of give in the neck too, even though the...

Hello! I have two quick questions about custom shop neck options... specifically about a Streamer Stage 2, 4 string. Firstly, which alternate neck profiles are currently available for a SS2? The "custom shop pricelist" seems to change frequently. Secondly, can the "Special nut width for NT...

Anybody know how much it costs to get a fretless neck made? I tried to make an enquiry on the site but it didn't seem to let me. I'm looking to get a bolt on neck with ebony fingerboard and ovangkol neck for my Corvette Std. I've got an older one with a thinner neck and would want the same neck...

Hey! I have just got a second hand warwick streamer jazzman 2006 model. I think this is a great bass but I would prefer it would have an extra slim neck profile, like the neck on the custom shop. I 'd like to ask if I can buy one of those necks.... Will that fit to my bass???

I do so apologize if this has been posted 458 times (at least) already, but I just picked up a 3 year old satin red $$ which has pretty much been kept in an unopened case for the past two years. Anyhow it seems fine, except that I literally *FEEL* one of the vertical grain lines on the neck...

Hey Guys/Girls Im coming from a background of more traditional style 4 string bass guitars such as Fender and Musicman, but I faniced taking a look at a Warwick for my next bass. Firstly, I want a 5 string. Secondly, I would like it to be fairly light. Thirdly, I would like it to...

We've just had a run of hot humid conditions where the humidity is normally quite low. What I've noticed is that the laminates in the neck are moving, as the humidity increases, there appears to be some swelling in some of the pieces leaving faint ridges down the length of the neck. It's an...

Would it be possible to order a costum shop 6-string bass with a broad neck and a 35" scale? And if it were a Thumb BO, would the discontinued bass extra cost be applied?
