string

Hi all I’m trying to find some new strings for my four string 96’Corvette and I’m not sure what gauge to aim for. Would appreciate some help picking out a gauge. I currently have DR 40-95 fat beams on which I like but I need thicker strings going forward.

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question for those who know a thing or two about some maintenance about the Warwick's. I need to "freshen" the bass up a bit because, well yeah... It hasn't been done at all. What do you suggest my first course of action should be? I would do the following, but am I...

Hi guys! This is my 1996 Corvette Proline, bought on this very forum! There's one tiny little dent on the left side of the body, I'll add a picture later. Aside from that it's in beautiful condition, plays like lightly salted butter and sounds like a whale being beaten with a very tickle-y...

Hi guys, Maybe I will sell the Alembic Essence. Why? Some kind of GAS I think. Few flaws on the essence: on the headstock there is a spot where the color is a little bit brigter than the rest of the headstock... and on the body, the upper "horn" has a scratch in it. That's it as far as I...

Howdy all, I found this forum while scouring the internet for information on my new bass. I picked up the four string in high school, but I sold my only guitar the last time I moved and haven't played in a while. I'd been waiting for the opportunity to get a new instrument and get back in...

This is kind if a double post but I figured I'd start it as it's own thread so it would be easy for others to find. Rockbass Corvette $$ 5 string 2010 Plays nice and smooth. The neck is not much wider than my Stingray 4 string but the string spacing still doesn't seem cramped like on my old...

Hey Guys, Just picked up my first 5 string and I am wondering what tuning everyone uses (besides the conventional G D A E B). I used to play my four string tuned G D A D. I'm playing with G D A D A on the five string and finding it quite interesting ( the bottom A is crazy :) ) So...

Hey, the pickup screws on my 4-string Corvette $$ are stripped and oxidized so I don't want to pull them out to get the size. What is the length of the Corvette $$ pickup screws? 30mm or 35mm? Thanks!

Hi guys, (*new-at-forum*) anyone got experience with I want to start with fretless now ... I already played it for some time and now i want to buy one ... (driving to the musicstore at 05.01. and will try it out, but maybe someone can tell me now about the Vamp 5 FL and qhy there stands...

hi guys i am really digging the sound of a 8 string bass. i was woundering if warwick makes any? if so could some one give me some sound clips. also if they are made could i get a rock bass 8 string ? thanks

I played a musicman 5 string and was pretty comfortable on it. I honestly don't know the standard spacing on warwick five strings, but if its the same...i need to save some pennies!

I'm considering getting a Warwick Streamer Jazzman 5 string fretless. Since I've never played one before (and probably won't be able to find one locally to try), I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback about this model. I was wondering if the Maple/Ash body and ebony fretboard would...

Hey Guys/Girls Im coming from a background of more traditional style 4 string bass guitars such as Fender and Musicman, but I faniced taking a look at a Warwick for my next bass. Firstly, I want a 5 string. Secondly, I would like it to be fairly light. Thirdly, I would like it to...

Call me dumb for asking this question, but will DR strings FIT on a warwick? I have a 34" scale corvette $$, but when I buy D'Addarios, I have to buy SUPER long scale since the strings' taper needs to clear the nut, and the bridge adds to the required length. Is this the case for DR's? I'd love...

hello, i today aqcuired a 6 string bass from a friend who had to many guitars, over 20, due to GAS. He hooked me up with a 6 string bass he's never touched, i have no use for the high C string and just want this thing for experimental sub bass metal fun. What gauge do i need for the F3...

What is the standard radius on a warwick 4 string bass?

Hey Now! So I just joined the warwick world when I picked up a brand new 2006 Thumb BO Fretless for an amazing price. It was sitting around the shop I guess since 2006. The place has a lot of Warwicks in stock. Its a beauty and growls like no tomorrow. It is a complete opposite of my...

So i've played a few gigs lately and most of them asked if i had a five string, because they like how they can get way down low. Because of this, i'm looking into a five string, but I'm not sure if i should go whole hog and get a six. I like to play up high, and it would be cool for solos, but...

I will hopefully be acquiring a used fortress (yay) for a great deal this saturday. sadly, this bass is missing a string retainer on the bridge. how could I buy/get one? there's a picture the current owner sent me.

I am very happy with the sounds of the bass tonal variations are great, unfortunately I have had to replace the jack input 3 times now as it keeps breaking down causing a spitting crackling sound when plugged in. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks Graham
