question

Hello, I hope this isn't a redundant post, but after a search I couldn't find the answer so I started a new thread. I was wondering if I should be using the 'Wick Wax on my wenge fretboard. I have never put anything on it because I wasn't sure what to use & didn't want to damage the...

Hey how's everyone doing? I'm Andy, I've been playing bass for 10 years and warwick for about 4 of them. I go my Warwick thumb used about 4 years ago and it's been a great bass. But recently I've been having issuses with the tunning keys breaking. First my D string key broke wihile I was...

this is a non Warwick bass I'm talking about but I guess it doesn't matter. It has 2 passive J-pups and active electronics. when the pup blend knob set in the middle the sound is even sounding between the 2 pups. I can tap on each pup with a screwdriver and get equal sound from each. but...

Hi everyone, this is probably a simple question with a quick answer. I ordered a 5-String Fretless Corvette Standard on Monday, and i specified that the only non-standard option i wanted was for it to be fretless. My question is what is the standard for fretlesses regarding fret-lines and...

I have just aquired a Streamer S1 in fairly poor condition, it is fitted with bassline pickups and has no actives, I believe that the pickups could be original equipment. Were these guitars fitted with passive pickups and a preamp or would it have been factory fitted with active pickups and the...

hey i wanna know the frequencies that my warwick standart bubinga 5 produces which freqs. does the wood naturally boost and which freqs. cuts or fail to produce well when every control is flat on the bass i wanna learn my bass guitar's tone character by numbers not by definations like "this...

On the Sweet 15.1, is the tweeter on when the switch is in or out? I am having trouble telling the difference between the two, and I am not sure if that is just due to a subtle tweeter or if it is broken. Knowing which way around it should be may help a bit. Thanks/

Hi, Yep me again. As mentioned before I own an active/passive Ash Warwick Corvette Standard Jazz Bass. As the battery wears down I must compensate by gradually turning up the volume at the amp. This of course also alters the sound and tone as the battery is getting weaker etc. I...

Hello, all. RockBasses are a bit rare in my part of the world -- I snapped up a Fortress but had to drive several hundred miles to do it -- and solid information about them is even rarer. So I hope somebody can help me with this question: Are lined versions of fretless RockBasses available? Or...

Does anyone know about the tonal qualities of Jatoba, Purpleheart, Persimmon or Ipe being used as fingerboard woods on a fretless electric bass with a maple body?? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

Good Evening Gentlemen. Well, here's the deal : The Truss Rod of my 1987 Thumb NT is almost dead. The Luthier's going to try to put it in a different position, and if it works, well, it will only need a check-up after several months. But if it's really dead, than I'll need a new one. So, will a...

Hi all, After a few years of playing the violin and the guitar, I finally switched to the dark side: 1 week ago I started playing bass :d Now I am looking for a suitable amp. I would use it for rehearsals and small gigs; I'd also like to use it as a mini PA for my guitar DI setup and my...

when i cut a part of a track, move it to another spot in the track, then i get a clicking sound just where one part of the wav file ends and the next part of the wav file starts (in the same track). is it clear what i mean ? for example, when i record a track, then cut in in two, and permute...

It's pretty minor, but I have to be curious. Maybe someone knows or knows someone who knows... My LTD 2009 has a 5-piece neck. It's maple, mahogany, ??, mahogany, maple. I'm very curious what the middle 'stripe' is. From a distance, it looks like maple, but I assure you that it is not. Anyone...

Ok so i have turned my schecter 5 string into a fretless, but...theres one problem. The 7th fret on the G string won't stop buzzing no matter what i do its really annoying me, can anyone help me out?

Hi all- Did a search of the forum, but couldn't find anything that answers this for sure...I have a Thumb 5 Bolt-On that I purchased new back in early 2002. The bass originally came with typical strap buttons, but I would like to add strap locks, such as the Warwick Security Locks. Here's my...

Hi there, I've just ordered a Tubepath 10.1 head. I have two fine Ashdown ABM 410t cabs, which I plan to hook up with my Tubepath head. However, I can see that the amp only has one speak-on speaker output and one 1/4 jack output. The manual on this site says that the these two outputs...

Hi all... I'm just wondering what is the feel and tonal difference between a Dolphin SN and a Dolphin Pro 1? I'm currently using a Dolphin SN 5 as my main working bass. What is the Pro 1's tone like? and is it much heavier than the SN 5?

Hey guys just a quick question. My band is doing a DYI recording - on the cheap as it were. We've got a USB M-Audio interface, a nice Mac with Guitar Rig and Pro-tools etc. I'm recording some of my bass tomorrow - our guitarist already has some tracks down and the drums are down. Anyway what...

Any ideas on how i would add an output for a secondary cab to an older CCL? I think the newer ones can be run with an external cab and i would like to do the same with mine. If the std speaker is 8 ohms i should in theory be able to drive a second 8 ohm load with the amp if the amp can handle...
