questions

Hello there, here comes another one. I am considering a Warwick bass. Right now i have a crappy Fender Jazz mex. I am thinking of a corvette. Yesterday i tried a Thumb 5 string and a Corvette with thouse large pickups (dont rem the name). The corvette was a 4 string with a red color, i...

i'm planning on buying a new wireless system before my band goes on tour this summer and have narrowed it down to two different models. i have owned and tried many different brands of wireless and have always gotten the same thing, loss of bottom end. it seems like most wireless systems only...

I bought a used Thumb BO6 very recently and have been trying to figure out what strings are on them. (The previous owner didn't remember.) After putting a pair of calipers to them, I think the strings correspond most closely to what Warwick calls Medium Light (020“, 040“, 060“, 080“, 100“, 130)...

I opted for the Ampeg BA115HP for my practice combo because it was $100 dollars cheaper than the BA115HPT (listening to them in the Noisy GC store, it was hard to justify the extra cost). For those of you that have tried both of these in other settings, does the "T" model warrant the extra $100...

I was able to finaly play through a BA115HPT and just loved it. It is hard to explain, but it is kind of like the sound is more "real" (don't know if that makes sense). How good a combo are these? Long term reliability? How frequently do you have to change the tube (playing maybe 4 hours a...

Greetings! I'm the proud owner of a new-old-stock Streamer Standard 5, 1x MEC humbucker, passive. Details as follows, from the "birth certificate":- *WWL089010601* Honey Violin. MEC Strmer Std 1PU Pss. electr. fretted wenge fingerboard Body: Carolena Neck Ovangkol I-P Bridge WW Bass Mach...

Just orderd an EMG-Jset from ebay. It comes with everything I need. First Question: Are the MEC's inthe warwicks "stock" the same size, or differen't? One pickup is a little less wide than the other. Second: 2 volumes, 1 tone? I dont get it.....

who wouldve thought the whole thing with bass amps could be so complicated ey? anyway my question is im currently playing through a profet3.2 head with the pro410 cab (8 ohms)... when i get a bit more money i want to get a new cab so that i will be able to bring the impedance down to 4 ohms...

Hi, I've been playing a Warwick Thumb 5 thru for the past 12 years and I absolutely love it, it's the best bass I've ever played, and it just get's better with age :) Anyway, I've recently changed my home studio to PC based and I've got a whole load of outboard gear that I've had lying...

i'm looking for a bass to upgrade from my ibanez gsr190 starter bass, and this bass looks pretty nice for my price range.. just a couple of important questions, if you folks dont mind giving me a bit of help.. first one is about the finish.. on warwickrockbass.com the almond burst finish...

After reading for the 756th time the Warwick bass catalog, and after some drooling, these questions appeared: - what are the PROs and CONs of the Streamer Stage 1 against the Streamer LX? I mean, talking about the tone - the same question as before but regarding Thumb BO and Thumb NT -...

I got the chance to play a Stage II today. I was very impressed (I'm a Spector player). A few questions for you Warwick experts: 1. Is it possible to get a Stage II in a color of some sort or painted? Is the Afzelia not a good wood to work with in this regard. 2. How would you guys...

Well I've been playing for 5 years now. I've got a Yamaha RBX and an Ibanez SR506. The Yamaha sounds like crap in comparison to the Ibanez, but I'd like a 4-stringer. So I'm thinking of picking up either a rockbass, or a cheap Warwick used. My budget's around $800CAN. I don't like P/J style...

Hi all, I just purchased my first Warwick (Std. Corvette) and have a few quick questions. 1) The bass I bought from GC is active, and the serial number on the bass is different than the toolkit's they gave me (says it's passive). 2) How can I tell what finish I have on my bass and if I...

So after many years of lusting after a Warwick, I finally got one. Yes, and the instrument did live up to my expectations. I got a Standard run of the mill Bubinga *spelling* Corvette Standard. First Question: I have always had painted basses, and i used cleaners and car waxes on them, they...

I'm spoiled. Very spoiled and fortunate. I have been playing keys for the past 20 years either for a living or for pleasure, and usually both at the same time. About 6 months ago at my church, I got between a rock and a hard place for a kids worship event with a guitar player and a drummer...

Alright, I mentioned somewhere that I'm trying to learn how to do my own setups. I read some online tutorials, but trying to do it in real life I've encountered some problems. First, in Gary Willis' site he says that, when adjusting the truss rod, he sets it up so that the distance between the...

Hey guys...I just got a 5 string Streamer STD, with 1 pickup. I have a few questions about it: 1) What does the push/pull pot do? Is it a series/parallel switch? 2) The finish is pretty beat up, what can I do to restore it?

I am a frequenter of the www.talkbass forum. I was poking around there and I stumbled on a thread where people were talking about the pre-amps distorting but more so on low notes. One poster even went on to say that was probably what contributes or is the main ingredient to the Warwick growl...

I went in to a new Guitar Center hoping to play the pltethora or Warwicks. They only had like 4. All of them were Corvettes. No thumbs, that is like the Warwick claim to fame in my book. Anyway, I was hoping to play a Double Buck. I guess I will have to wait, but if I could have some...
