neck

hello fellow warwick fellows, i have finally decided to get myself a CS warwick. i love the thumb sound but the corvette's look and think that the $$ version gives me a lot of tonal options. so i thought of combining the best of two worlds (subjective) i will be getting an ovangkol...

as some of u may know, Australia is known for its humidity and temperature changes. a mate of mines warwicks neck warped after 2 years. he didnt wax it but his was sealed. i really want my bass to live as long as i will. wen i wax my bass, i wax the neck too. can i wax the neck 2 much and is...

I've never waxed my neck before... I know that the neck gets a decent amount of moisture through your hands and through regular playing. I haven't put the Warwick down for more than three days at a time prior to this. But here's the problem: I injured my eye pretty badly playing...

Hi, What should I use for cleaning the back of the neck? It got very greasy and very uncomfortable to play after years of use. I have to say that I never cleaned/waxed my Wick, shame on me... :oops:

has anyone had a probelm with the neck on the vampyre ?

My question is: Is the Warwick Double Buck neck-through worth the money just for neck through since i'm in the options between neck through bubinga and the standard double buck I read somewhere that the neck through bubinga is very heavy.

Hey guys, I don't know if any of you remember me, but I posted a thread regarding which bass to get some time back. I ended up getting a Corvette Standard 4 string passive, ash body, and I'm so damn happy with it. I think it will be some time before I can find a bass that works so fine. Awesome...

I have a Rockbass Streamer. I bought it second hand. The strings were pretty used out when I bought the bass. I'm a beginner and I unknowingly started tuning it very high. The strings were very tensed. After advice from a pro I tuned it properly low.. now two strings slightly buzz on the first...

I have a Corvette 5 string with some neck issues. 2 techs have worked on it, but can't get it right. There is considelably more relief on the bass side than on the treble side, so I can't get the action the way I would like it. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm curious about the following issues: 1. When and why did Warwick stop making flat C-shaped necks as standard on Thumb BOs and went for thicker U-shaped necks (retaining flat neck only as Custom Shop option)? It must have been after 1997, since I play a 97TBO with flat 19mm C-shaped...

Look at this post on eBay. I've never seen a Warwick with a neck like that. Does anyone know what year this is from and why does it say Warwick USA??

I know I may be "beating a dead horse" but wanted to revive this subject since I am looking for any new and fresh ideas regarding this subject. I just acquired a Thumb 5 BO and immediately noticed the neck dive. I guess because of the shorter upper horn, the bass hangs quite differently ( much...

Hi, I have a streamer lx that has a broken truss rod and I thought that since the neck was going to be changed at warwick, maybe I could get it in fretless now, but they said it's not possible. Do you know why is that? Also the price to fix it is 350 €. It seems appropriate but you could buy a...

Any body knows what is the exact weight of a Warwick stock tuning machine? I am considering swapping them for ultralites or similar to reduce the slight neck dive I get in my Streamer. I have to know the exact weight in order to determine whether it would be a significant change with other...

I took the neck off my bass so I could bring it to work and change out the PU's. I can keep the body on my locker. The problem is my PU's are going to be a week late, so the neck will be off my bass for almost 2 weeks. Does it matter? Should I take it home, put it back together until the PU's...

I recently purchased a Corvette Standard online that has a warped neck. Where can I go to puchase a new neck to swap out? :x

Does anyone know why the CS doesn't offer a stain or paint option for the necks of a bolt-on bass?

Does it help your neck to be more stable, as in sealing out moisture changes and stuff to keep applying wax and oil to the neck and fretboard? I live in a real humid place in the summer, and it is as dry as a bone in winter due to heating. This is my second year with my Warwick and during...

:? What's up everyone, I've notice a slight bow up on my Neck. Is this a major issue? should I stop playing until it is straightened out? I have to travel about 1 1/2 hours away to have a warwick experienced tech to work on it. Any advice would greatly help. This is my pride and joy bass...

you probably already know me as the autor of bestseller posts like "corvette broad neck ?" or others that have to do with broad necks HAHA now, i wonder if dolphins are available with broad necks... or maybe i should ask more in general: which model is NOT available as broad neck 5 string...
