question

OK, so my old ampeg runs at 16 ohms. Well, I need a new speaker, and i'm looking at the Eminence Basslite 15" (its what ampeg uses now). but it runs at 4 or 8 ohms. Is there anyway i can make this work?

Hi! I have recently been promised to have the first go on an older Thumb NT 5 when/if it is ever up for sale. It's a real beauty, with Bartolini soapbars - this really makes it oh so attractive to me. It has the got the old style of preamp compartment, with the screwed on plastic cover (it...

I had this crazy idea of getting a six string bass, and tuning it f#,b,e,a,d,g. do you guys think a .145 will tune that low? I would be using 40-95 on the normal 4 strings.

Waxing up my new bass, and I was wondering, do I need to wax the fretboard? It's a fretted instrument, if that makes a difference.

my 97 fortress has the red stain finish. is this an oil or satin finish??? I'm the first owner and it came this way from warwick. as far as cleaning goes I just use lemon oil and thats it reason for asking is shiney spots. some areas have the satin dull look and other areas are real shiney...

I'm getting a sweet deal on a '93 Stage II in mint condition. The seller says that the bass doesn't have stacked knobs, but it does have 4 knobs. I'm assuming that it just has a 2 band EQ? Any help would be appreciated! Would the sound out of a '93 still ring fairly similar (if not nearly...

I tryed to put a hipshot D tuner on the 96 corvette I picked up last week. It would not work as the lever hits the G string machine head when I try to detune the E string. I haven't measured the head stock yet but it appears to be smaller then the fortress head stock as the hipshot works great...

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie to this forum. I became a happy owner of Warwick Corvette $$ almost a month ago. I'm really happy about that and more than satisfied with that great bass. I'd like to ask $$ users, who mostly play pizzicato, where do u position the right hand when plucking the...

I bought the guts from a Thumb bass on the TalkBass forums and wanted to make sure I was looking at the right wiring diagram. I have 2 LX5s and this isn't going into either one; it's going into a Jazz bass. It has a 3 hole configuration I believe to be stacked vol/bal, mid range, and stacked...

I just picked up a '98 warwick thumb NT in a trade last night. I traded a 2006 rickenbacker fireglo and a corvette passive standard '03 for it!!! I think it was a good deal on both ends as I paid about $2200 for both instruments a few months ago. This is a '98 thumb NT that has the wenge...

Hi guys - I'd love to hear some comments on tone. Don't mind the playing too much - and without knowing anything about the bass, pickups or strings used, how would you describe the tone of this bass? (for better or for worse) ....Just curious. :D Thanks... ;)

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...

I notice on the recently revised Warwick Website that they are listing the following amps under the Pro FET section: Pro FET 5.1 Pro FET 5.2 230v Pro FET 3.2 Pro FET 3.3 230v I thought the Pro FET 5.2 and 3.3 would be replacing the 5.1 and 3.2, so I'm surprised to see them all listed...

Hello, I recently won the "Warwick Jack Bruce Giveaway" over here in the US. I was just wondering about applying the beeswax to this Thumb....Will the ink of the autograph cause any issues if I apply wax over it? I have no idea if it was waxed after Jack put his sig on it? Just want to...

So I have been interested in getting a P-nut II bass for quite a long time now. Unfortunately, the one available to me in Sweden is in horrible shape, setup, dead strings etc. Alas, it is hard to get a good idea of what tone it has. I can tell that it sounds powerful as hell, but I'd like to...

Hallo everybody! I recently bought a 1992 Streamer Stage I with weird non-original electronics (they are volume/volume/tone/tone!!!), and I bought Mec 3 way electronics to replace them, and I'd like to try to do it by myself. The instructions that came with the product are not clear to me...

I have an 05 RB streamer that I throughly enjoy. The bridge Pickup is intermittent, move the wire and it goes dead. It neds to be replaced. My question is, has anybody replaced either pickup with a Bartolini W4CBC? If I use the Bart I will probably have to replace the Volume Pot also...
