newbie

Just wanted to say Hi, My name is Omar Piña,I'm from Fajardo,Puerto Rico. I'm new to this forum,i've been reading some interesting stuff already in the forums. I've been playing my Warwick Corvette Standard 5 since 97 and is still my main bass. I play for several bands/artist here on the...

Although I really enjoy my 1999 BO4 Thumb, I really would like a lined fretless Thumb to play. Is a LINED fretless thumb a "standard" in the Warwick line or is this a CS type of instrument? I have never seen one in years and wonder if that is the case. To all those who celebrate here in the...

I know this is going to bring laughter to all you old timers but, why is the Thumb bass called a Thumb bass? Does thumb buddy know?? Ha Ha ;)

Sorry if this has ben asked 1000 times before but how would you describe the diffenence between the tone of the swamp ash vs bubinga corvette passive? Thank You!

Hey guys. I just bought the Warwick 5 string babinga bass with Active pickups. I had a few questions. I am used to playing cheap basses and guitars. I also just traded my Markbass amp so I don't have an adequate amp to play through, so I am currently playing through my stereo system. I...

Hi, I've recently started with the bass and having blown the budget on a (non-Warwick) instrument, it's taken a couple of months to financially recover enough to buy an amp. Today I went into the local second-hand music dealer looking for one. Ooh'd and ahh'd at US made classics but as a...

Apols! Been lurking around for a while but never had anything useful to say! So, greetings to all. Been into Wicks for a while and currently have a crop of 'Vettes (coz they were affordable and I got to love the sound!). However, recently tried a Thumb and may be filing for divorce from...

Hi, Just got my 60.1 and quite happy with it as a practice amp :). Searched but found only one post related my query but not sure it was directly answered. Is the fan supposed to be running all the time or just when the amp is really hot? I thought it would be like a pc - permanent but speed...

Got a used corvette and it's got kinda high action. I'm following the warwick manual's setup guide and have a question. What is the order of operations when adjusting the just-a-nut and the saddle and bridge? It says to lower the just a nut so that the strings are as low as possible without...

Hi - been lurking on here for a while, so I thought I would log in and say hello! I've had a Corvette $$ for a year or so, which has taken over from my Fenders as my main gigging bass. I added a Thumb BO yesterday - absolutely blown away by it. What an amazing bass! I picked it up in a...

I recently played a Warwick on a fluke while in the local Guitar Center. Being a MM player, I was profoundly impressed with the different feel to my Sterlings. The store only had Corvettes to try. The Warwick website doesn't really dole out a lot of info. My question is, what are the main tone...

Hi all, after over a decade of non playing, i have decided to begin again, and as i lusted after a warwick bass in my early days, when i discovered the rockbass brand, i was really pleased, i am upgrading (i think) from my hohner Pro PJ bass, which has done sterling work, having read several...

hey al, finally joined the warwick family by purchasing a corvette $$ 5 string. im shocked at how much i love this bass. anyways, i play flat wounds on all my basses so i bought my usually set of 35 inch sadowsky(my personally favs), all the strings fit perfectly except the b string!! it doesnt...

just bought this SS II can you guys help indentify if it is a 91 model? also, I found two marks what seems to be crack in the head, only after I took it home and examine more closely Should I be concerne? Thanks so much.

Hello to all the Warwick enthusiasts here! I'm new to the forum, been a voyeur for too long, and I had to join! I am a recent Warwick endorsee, having played Warwick basses for many years now, you can check my profile here I have to say, this is simply the best forum I have even...

I am a former Corvette FNA Jazzman owner, who just picked up a Streamer Std (single MEC pu model) after a year and a half of owning an Ibanez. Suffice it to say, I missed "The sound of wood!" Anyway, I just wanted to say hey and ask a finish question. The Streamer I just bought is in really...

Hey guys & gals, My name is Rusty Cochrane, Im from Melbourne Australia. I just want to say howdy to everyone here. I play bass professionally in the Aussie country music area and do corporate "funk/covers" work around Melbourne. Please feel free to check out my Myspace page...

Hello Warwick enthusiasts, This is my first post, with some pictures of my beloved 86 NT Thumb. It has suffered some mods by successive owners (jack plug, thumb rest, knobs, Barts, preamp, straps) ... the "scars" of age. BTW, it plays like a dream, the neck is pretty thin . I've...

:oops: :oops: :oops: After having played the bass in my school time some 15 years ago I now have the opportunity ( $$$$.... ) to start it all over again. I remember being always impressed of basses with more than 4 strings. Now i wonder if it would be a good ides to start with 5...
