    Oh my God! I de-fretted my Wick! (Sound clips ADDED!)

    And it's turning out awesome :D Maybe I went crazy, But I did it... And with very littlechipping :) So I taped everything off, gently pulled the frets up, sanded it all down threw the strings on to test it and it sounds great :) I'm using a mixture of wenge and epoxy to fill the fret...

    Which Warwick bass can sound like an upright?

    Hi, to bring some more versatility to the sound of my jazz band, I'm looking for an electric bass that sounds like an upright. Is there any Warwick bass that delivers an upright sound?

    Calling all P-nut owners! Sound question.

    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...

    Static Sound

    Hello. I recentely purchased a used 5-string corvette proline bass. When I first got it, it had no problems. However, now-- especially when I turn the volume knob down-- it makes a static noise over the amp. It happens regardless of the amp, cables, and whether the preamp is active or not. I...

    Clicking sound

    I'm sure there is a topic of this before, but I couldn't find it! I've got a Warwick Vampyre SN5. I love the bass, and it works where ever you want ever everything. But there's one thing that's bothering me! Whenever I play, and I mean WHEN EVER, I get a strange annoying clicking sound, just...

    Defending the Warwick name (and sound)

    Hey guys. I have been on this and other bass playing forums for a while and the way that people bash Warwicks is really starting to piss me off. I do what i can to defend thebrand but it doesn't seem to do much good. It seems to me like a good percentage of the people that don't like them...

    Jamiroquai-ze my sound!

    Hi everybody! I'm a new Warwick enthusiast (just bought a gorgeous Thumb BO 5) and this is my first post. My name is Pico, I'm from Italy. I must say, first of all, that I love the tone of my Warwick, it is almost exactly what I was for. But I'd like to get nearer to the tone in my head, and...

    parts of the bass sound

    while playing bass and getting more in touch with the compositions of sound, i guess i sort of made a conclusion that a guitar sound has these 3 parts: 1.) attack = the sound you hear when your pick/fingers hits the guitar. percussive in nature. 2.) fundamental = the note itself 3.)...

    The Sound of Thumb 5 NT vs Thumb 5 BO.

    I have a question for owners of both Thumb 5 NT and BO, or at least someone who has played them both. (Not looking for quality of NT vs BO opinions) I have a Thumb BO and I'm not satisfied with the sound. Yes it's a very stong sound, but I want a little more bottom end. On the other hand I...

    Quick and dirty Vette $$ - Now WITH sound clip :-)

    I just did a little quick and dirty recording of my Vette $$. Both pups single coil, all passive. For the main bass the bridge pup was slightly emphasized. The "chords" were played using only the neck pup. Right after I mixed it down I realized that somehow the melody sounds familiar...

    Which warwick model gives the best low end sound.

    Hi there I'm the owner of a Thumb BO5 and I'm very happy having it because it really cut through in the mix. Althought its a dark low mid sound and it doesn't always feel good because of it's lack low end in certain songs.(For example reggae songs) I need to buy a new warwick bass but I would...

    The Sound Of (Sixty Five Year Old) Wood?

    So sometime this summer, I'll be acquiring a very vintage classical guitar that once belonged to my great grandfather. Everyone expects he may have gotten it around the 1930s, and that sounds about right. Anyone willing to bet how it may sound? It has the same (well, five of six) strings that...

    That Dark Lord Sound

    Is it possible to string any bass the same as a Vampyre Dark Lord? Like, say a Thumb NT 5 string? I know the tone won't be exactly the same, just curious. :) Also, Dark Lord NT 5 string (F#, B, E, A, D)? What do think? 8)
