setup

Hi, I just bought a RockBass Corvette $$ (passive) and changed the round-wounds for flats. Seems like the neck has settled (18 hours have passed) and it seems playable. I need to adjust the intonation now. Is there a minimum recommended tolerance for string height settings? (I see the...

Hi Guys, Im as you see new to the forum and recently got my first warwick. A corvette $$ 5 I traded against a sandberg... Shortly after that I bought a 2. one used. Its a Streamer 4 from 98. LX4 I think beause it is PJ but its not a flamed maple top and colour is some translucent black...

Hey Everyone! So I'm finally getting serious about learning to play my fretless Thumb. I'm working with a teacher and I'm finally mastering it, but I still have some minor intonation issues. My bass setup is not helping me. I don't want to get it professionally set up. I want to do it...

Hey peeps. The neck of my Infinity SN seems to be a bit crupped up. There's a "depression" from about 3rd fret to 8th among other stuff. I'm having really hard time getting a good setup on it. Hard to get a good photo of the situation, but take a look: What would you suggest me to...

Hey guys and gals of the fretless persuasion. I'd like to get some opinions on your fretless setups. It's been a while since I've owned a fretless and now that I recently purchased a Warwick fretless, I'd like to know where a good starting point is. I guess my question boils down to three parts...

Does anyone know how to work out the intonation on an unmarked fretboard? i have an old no-name FL without any markings on the neck and i'm pretty certain the intonation at the bridge is all out of whack. Is there a measurement where the 12th position (octave) should be where i could set the...

Greetings to all, This is my first post here but this forum has already been very useful. First, all you Warwick freaks made me want to play my 2002 Streamer Jazzman 5 that has staid in its gigbag for the last year… shame on me. :) The problem was that when an instrument stay for so long...

Tonight I finally had the time to setup my SSI. I had decided to do this as the intonation wasn't quite right and slapping was harder on this bass then on the other two Wicks. I don't know if the order in which I did things is the usual way but here's what I did: 1. I lowered the bridge...

So, I got my Warwick Corvette 5 a few week ago and I'm very impressed with it. It's got such a lovely sound and it's really my first expensive bass. I'm curious, I've set up basses before and changing the string heights, bridge and tension etc. But that was on my cheap Washburn and I wasn't...

I've received an e-mail today from Jerzy Drozd's Newsletter with a great "Guide to Bass Setup" published by him. https://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/akcndfr54jdhrei567/Ultimate_Guide_ver100.pdf Hope you enjoy it!

I'm curious about the factory setting for the pickup heights for my Corvette Standard 5 string. However, the factory settings on all aspects of that bass, may be useful to me, or others, in the future. So.... Anybody able to give me the factory setup specs? Ta. Fuzzy :roll:

sorry to be a n00b, i did a search but nothing came up. its been a year+ since i bought the wick and some minor tweak over the mths has totally whacked out the original pro-set up that i send when i 1st bought it and i am now learning to do simple adjustment and set-up. i am converting to a...

Having no other info, how would you set up the pickup-string distance on a 5-string J/J bass, aiming for even response across the fingerboard/strings? I mean the 4 pickup-string distances for both pickups, bass and treble side. I have this issue where my E and A strings sound very bassy but D...

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?

Am having trouble with string to pickup height adjustment as well as thumb placement on the bridge pick up. When I first got the bass the action was pretty low, and the pick ups pretty high and not only were my d and g strings hitiing the pickups from time to time, but my fingers were as well. I...

I'm no slouch at doing setups but have a q about my new a '96 Fortress Fretless 5'er. I've got the neck and nut dialed in but the bridge is bottomed out and I think she'd go lower. It's like Warwick omitted the frets; added a ebony board and called this design done...w/out consideration for...

Hi I was thinking of buying a ProFet 5.2 amp. What type of cab/cabs would be a good setup to rock with a drummer and a guitarist mostly rock/metal?

Hi, I posted my previous question on and still not sure the answer. If anyone has answer, please let me know. I got a different question and probably some of you are interested as well. I read an article saying that in order to setup the intonation, the 1st, 5th, 12th, 17th and 24th must...

Got a used corvette and it's got kinda high action. I'm following the warwick manual's setup guide and have a question. What is the order of operations when adjusting the just-a-nut and the saddle and bridge? It says to lower the just a nut so that the strings are as low as possible without...
