    Need advice on pickup upgrades for my Rockbass Fortress

    I bought my RB Fortress about 2 years ago, and I love the way it plays. I've been thinking that some better pickups and maybe new electronics would make the sound even better. I have researched Nordstrand, Basslines, Bartolini, and EMG. They all sound like good choices and would probably...

    I may have finally cured the rockbass headstock design

    I sent an e-mail to Sims Customs to get a quote on how much it would cost to have the headstock re-done with the warwick W on it. if it's less than $100 (plus shipping) i think i'll do it!

    Why isn't there a Rockbass Thumb ??

    Hi all, this is my first post for the Rockbass section. Just wondering why there isn't a Thumb Rockbass, since the Thumb is one of Warwick's more poplular model........ Do you think it would be cool ??

    A new kind of Rockbass!

    I live in the U.K. if anyone can help. I was thinking of a refinishing job on my Fortress but could not find any paint stripper that would mark the high gloss finish so, I`ve decided to carve a new body for it - either a Thumb or Streamer. If anyone could draw around theirs, I`d gladly pay for...

    I'm the happy new owner of a Corvette 5 Fretless, and was wondering if it was possible to change the bridge to a two piece Warwick bridge at some point? I'd like to use thicker gauge strings (mainly a .145 d'addario for the B), and the string through bridge is a little annoying with fat...

    New Pick-ups for Rockbass

    I'm thinking of changing the pickups in my passive Rockbass Streamer - they're lacking in power. I'm looking at this as a bit of fun with a soldering iron (?) Any suggestions - thought about EMG soapbars, Seymour Duncan, even Status pickups. Will consider changing the pots and jack-plug as...
