Hey, I myself am a relatively new player (3 yrs), who also of course, is stricken with GAS. I recall while online shopping for my first bass, I was intrigued by the designs of Warwicks, though considering there cost I never considered it. I suppose thats when the GAS started. But now at 18, with...

Greetings, everyone! First of all, I bought a Corvette $$ yesterday, so I'm now officially part of the addict-club. :lol: My question is: I have a ProFet 5.2 and a WCA 411 Pro (8Ohm), so I'm gonna get another 8Ohm cab to push the amp to its max, and I have my mind on a WCA 211 Pro...

Hey, I'm probably going to get the new rockbass corvette $$ and was wondering how I would go about refinishing it. I'd like to stain it, but have no idea what with... What would be the best way to do it? What sort of preparation would need to be done, if I got the natural oil (waxed)...

Hey guys, I have never seen this kind of Warwick before until I discovered this website. The Vampyre NT is hands down one of the coolest / sexiest looking basses I have ever seen. Are they extremely rare to find in the states ? (I'm meaning most general guitar stores like guitar center )...

Hello, my first post on the site. I got a used Corvette $$ 4-string a few weeks ago and am trying to get it setup so I can use it. Pickup height is one of my biggest questions. Some background: I play technical metal finger-style. I used to play with a pick but switched to fingers a couple...

Hey guys, wish me welcome on my first post on this forum :) Alright, I've got a few problems with my new bass. I managed to get hold of a used 5 string FNA Jazzman about a week ago, and I'm still in the process of getting it set up correctly. I've done the fretwork myself, adjusted the...

I have a 2000 Warwick Corvette 5 string. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have all the hardware changed from chrome to black? The tuners, two piece bridge, knobs, and strap locks need to be changed. I live in the U.S. so what dealer would I go to in order to have these parts ordered...

I did a search, but still have a couple of questions... I've got a lead on an '04 SSII :) and was wondering if there were any issues/problems with that year that I should know about. Other than the change in neck woods around 99 or so, were there any other significant changes with the SSIIs...

Hello Everyone! This is my first post in these forums and I was hoping to ask a few noob questions. I did a search, as recommended, but couldn't find my answers. I purchased a 1997 Warwick Fortress One P/J 2 years ago and it immediately became my favorite bass. I want to return it to...

I'm thinking of getting a custom Streamer $$ and I have some questions and thoughts I'd like to share and discuss, I am very grateful for anyone's help, but I guess I need expert custom model knowlegde =P well here we go: It says in the pricelist "Examples of standard options --> If a...

Who comes up with the names of Warwick basses and for that matter what do they mean and, Has there ever been a broadneck Corvette 5. Just wanna know!

I see basses for sale with the "W" and one piece bridges, are these Rockbasses or early Wicks? Oh, yeah, they are usually Streamers.

Hi guys - I don't have many options locally to try out Warwick basses (Chicago, in the city) so I was hoping to get some info from you all. I'm looking at the Corvette STD Active and am trying to decide between Bubinga and Swamp Ash. I read the 2-3 other threads, including a poll, but came...

Hi, I've got some questions about the Pro Tube IX. I recently bought it used and there's some parts missing. The tube light bulb is gone. What kind is it ? I can 't seem to find it in the wiring diagrams. And there's one slider missing from the EQ, is it seperatly obtainable ? I would...

I have a Streamer Stage II, I'm in the process of tweaking the setup(first time) and i would like to know if 2mm action at the 12th Fret when fretting at both the first and last fret is OK? Action is 4mm without fretting. Does this sound about right for the forwards bow in the neck?

I'm very interested in a RockBass Vampyre. I've heard how it sounds from videos and sound clips online and it's definitely got the sound I'm looking for in my next bass. However, I have yet to play one. No store anywhere near me has one. So, If any of you guys have some information on this bass...

First: I'm really into the Warwick Streamer Stage I 5string. But i would like the seymour duncan preamp and soapbars. The option of picking Bartolinis or Seymour Duncan pickups for your bass isn't available outside the custom shop, right? And what will it cost? Here's what I want: - SSI 5...

Hello, sorry if the question are already posted before, i want to know if actual warwick corvette standard , any strings, ash or bubinga, but fretted are available with MEC dynamics corrections, or now only with active jb mec pickup , like streamer lx...... i know fretless have passive pickup...

And a big thanks to everyone who helped answer my pre-purchase questions. I just got my '99 Thumb, and it's one of the most beautifully crafted instruments I've ever seen. Amazing work. The thing that astounds me the most is the articulation of each note. My fenders and gibsons have a few...
