Can anyone explain how to lower the string height on my Alien. I just got this bass and I LOVE it. String height is too high though. Thanks much!

I recently purchased a warwick corvette standard fretless with flatwounds on it. The G string has poor intonation and tone--almost sounding slightly muted without sustain. Is there an adjustment I need to make at the bridge? It does not "fret" a note at the same position as the lower 3 strings...

Hi Guys, I hope this hasn't been done on this forum, but would anyone care to start a poll to see how many of us play 4 string, or 5 string bass and why. I did search our threads and I can't find any threads like this--although it would seem to be something that has been asked before! As a...

Hi all - first posting here. I'm looking for some help with my Rockbass Corvette 5 string. Unfortunately I had a small accident a while back when the bass fell onto a carpeted floor playing side down. Everything is fine but a couple of the control knobs (bass and treble) have been pushed...

These are some tracks that I recorded for various reasons over at the forums. These first two clips are what my Thumb sounds like with a brand spanking new set of Warwick Black Label Mediums. Also a little compression courtesy of a on the first track. (I get a little sloppy in places...it's...

Hello all. I've been playing around with the EQ settings on my Warwick Profet 5.1 to see if I can improve the sound, and I've got a really good sound coming out now. Problem is the A string doesn't seem as loud as the other 3 strings, and I don't know why this is?? I have an Ibanez...

Hi, I' ve seen online a single warwick red label 0.20 and in the customshop gallery there are some 7 strings basses so i thought that this string should be for the high F tunning... is it right? I' ve never heard before of so light warwick strings. Does anyone ever tried this particular string...

hi...what are the best strings for my Thumb NT...I like good deep lows + crisp highs. The manual suggests EMP 045-105 or Black Label Stainless Medium. Has anyone found a better string? Thanks...

Hi guys, I'm saving for my first 6 and have a streamer $$4 right now so I wan't to stick with the streamer shape. Lately I've been really drawn to the LX6 and The SS1 6 string. My Question is -Apart from the neck through design are there any other significant differences between the two...

Hello, I just purchased my fist warwick. It's a 1999 streamer standard 5 string. I'd like to replace the stock bridge with standard warwick 2 piece bridge. Is this a simple operation or am I in for a world of pain?

hi there. i bought a set of dr jonas hellborg strings, and i thought i might do a review and compare them to the strings i like the most: warwick red labels. red labels are round core stainless steel strings, they last very long, are quite bright (that's what i like), cost only 10 euros...

I bought a Warwick Corvette 5-string that I love to death! I was playing a show and the saddle part that is very small popped out on stage! The Guitar Center in Portland Maine where I bought it new has told me they can't get the part. I am stuck using a bass that does not come close to the tone...
