    Infinity 6 string?

    According to the CS pricelist it looks like you could technically get a Infinity 6 string if you paid an ass load of money. I'm curious though if its really possible? I like the infinity's design a lot but I would want it in 6 string. I haven't tried the hollow body one but I own a 4 string...

    94 5 string Thumb Bass

    Howdy folks! I'm a newbie and rather ignorant on basses, I'm mainly a guitar player. Anyhow, I just picked up a 94 Thumb Bass 5 string and was wondering the details about it. It has MEC pickups. What it's worth? How many were made, etc...? Thanks for your help

    Ball end on string

    I have always wondered what was the proper direction is for the ball end of the string to sit in the tailpiece? Is it supposed to sit the long way or with the hold of the ball end facing up?

    String volume

    Okay, this is not strictly a question about Warwick basses, just about basses in general. But there's so many knowledgeable people on here that I wanted to hear what the forum has to say about this. A long time ago a friend sold me a late 70s USA Fender P bass. It was nice in a lot of ways...

    Bridge string spacing adjustment.

    Hi. I'm about to purchase a fretless corvette 6'er and I understand you can adjust the string spacing at the bridge to as much as the neck will allow. I'm wondering if I can get up to 17mm before the strings want to go over the edge of the fretboard. I saw a thread where someone with a thumb5...

    Is there a string spacing difference between these two?

    I know that they both are not the standard string spacing for a SS1 but it looks like the maple SS1 has a slightly tighter string spacing than the black one. Under the basses specs. the black one says "normal string spacing" and the maple one says "alternate narrow string spacing". Does anyone...

    Black Beauties on five string SS1

    Just wondering if black beauties will fit the bridge on my SS1? By reading other posts it seems like the low B needs to be tapered to fit the bridge, but I cant work out whether black beauties are or not? I've chosen BBs as black labels felt too harsh, and the coated strings that were on the...

    String Question

    OK, I screwed up. I switched out the strings on my Corvette 5 string to DR Long Necks and I hate them. I loved the tone of the Black Labels that came with the Corvette but can't find them anywhere in my area. Is there a good recommended replacement string that anyone can give me that would be...

    Changing string gauges

    Hi all, I'm planning on changing string gauges for my 5-string flaming blonde Thumb, from 45-135 to 40-130. According to you, would this change require any adjustment (trussrod, action...?) Will it tend to lower the action (as I think it would?)

    The Great String Review Thread

    OK taking marks idea, and with the number of string threads here why not get a review thread with comparisons and thus keep all the discussions in one place. First though we'll need to compile the reviews. Probably best to keep it short: - Make - Name - Type (steel/nickle/coated etc) -...

    Anybody have a vintage SS1 6 string fretless?

    I have always wanted a vintage Streamer Stage 1 fretless 6 string but have never really seen any for sale. I used to own a fretted 4 string and I loved the tone and feel of the bass. If you have ever had one please let me know your thoughts and opinions. Pics would be nice too. Cheers, Wes
