string

What's your string height? I recently lowered mine to 1 - 1.2 mm. I was trying to make Victor-Wooton-style slapping easier and it seems to have worked! It is taking time to get used to it, but it's worth it. Also, fast fingerstyle runs (Jaco) are easier, again it justs takes time to adjust to a...

Hello to all from Tennessee,I just got my son a corvette standard that needs a new nut.how do I go about getting a new one or how to contact a parts dept? Thanks....god I love the corvette !!!!

Ok, So I've got a six string Nobby Meidel guitar. I know they only made a few of these in the US but I can't find out ANYTHING else about it. I've only come across ONE other person who has even heard of it and he is trying to sell it. I practically got this one for nothing and would like to know...

If so, I'm curious to know more about them.

Hello folks. I got a wonderful 6 string fretless Thumb from 1996. Instead of the MEC pickups I found the Bartolini soapbars on this bass, and I think they're perfect for fretless (I got another 4 string fretless Thumb from 1990 with MEC pick ups and it sounds pretty different). I was just...

hi everyone. wondering if there's a good emg replacement for the stock mecs on my 5 string $$. found these , but pretty sure they aren't 5 string. pretty sure the bartolini 5 string music man replacements would work as well, but would really like to go with emgs. any help appreciated! cheers

I think I just figured something out with my strings. I put on a new set of strings on one of my basses a few weeks ago. I noticed that my A and D strings were nice, bright and punchy but my G string was a little darker and my E strings was really dark and dead sounding. It was like the...

What would be good replacement pickups for this bass? The current single coil MECs sound good but are subject to interference... Thanx, ALD

Hi guys, it´s me (white t-shirt guy on the right eh,eh,eh) with my band covering a cool 80's rock song.This was taken with a digital photo camera standing on top of a table, so the image and sound are poor.But i decided to share with all of you anyway. Cheers Luis...

Why are musiciansfriend.com, guitarcenter.com, etc. discontinuing the thumb bolt-on 5 string? Is this a precursor to Warwick discontinuing this model?

Hello everybody! I bought a Corvette Std Ash 4 (a fresh '08 model) about 9 months ago. I didn't have any problems with the original strings, uh Black Labels I think, but decided to change them with D'Addario strings (the nickel plated ones!) two months ago, since i find them to be good strings...

Hello, can anyone tell me the weight of the Corvette $$ Zebrano 5 string, please? I can't find it anywhere! Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new to the forum here. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I purchased a used Corvette FNA Jazzman 5 string several years ago. I'm guessing it was made in the late 90's, but I'm not positive. The neck was set up well enough at the time, so i never had the...

For some reason this site seems to have their lefty $$ 5er cheaper than it should be at just under £700, when the 4 string version is closer to a grand. Am I missing something obvious?

I have a 5 string Fortess One with Seymour Duncan pickups made in Oct of 1994. I am looking to replace the strap lock system from a recessed to an external system. Is there a recommended replacement system? If anyone has heard or done this I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you...

Hi Everybody, Where can i find info about Wrwick strings' tension?

Hi. I just got myself a corvette double buck and this is my first post. When I first got the bass, the neck had a bit more relief than Id like, so I gave it a quarter turn and let it sit overnight. The truss rod was a bit hard to turn, so I didnt try to force it harder than how much force I used...

Hi ya'll, I recently bought a Rockbass Corvette Basic 5 string (about 2 months ago). Though, I haven't been playin it much because of so and so problems. Anyways, some days back, me and a fren were planning to do a li'l bit of home recording. So, I tuned my bass (used a Fender Guitar tuner...

My brother has a Warwick Streamer LX 6 String. He has problems with the "preamps" or something like that. I would like to know how much may cost to change "preamps" and the pickups. Where can I get this replacements at the United States? It Is possible to get some used replacements...
