    hellborg string review!

    here is my review these corky looking strings are very cool, but a bit of a pain! to get them on a warwick you need to bore out the tuning big, or taper them yourself, as they don't taper at the ends. that was my main issue. after that, i'm just waiting for the neck to settle (went from .50 to...

    6 string dolphin, infinity, or fortress!

    Another custom shop dream bass I have always wanted is a 6 string dolphin or infinity. Do you think warwick would make either of them considering these models don't come in 6 string? If so do you know about how much it would cost?

    Tapered Strings - 5 string

    What 5 string sets are available, other than the Warwicks, where the low B is already tapered and no mods will be necessary on the saddle? I think the older Carvin sets were tapered, but other than that, what do you guys use on your 5/6's? I was thinking of just getting 4 string sets in my...

    Why no custom string sets at the Warwick online store?

    g'day all, seems you can order anything but strings! Given the propensity for Warwick players to be free-thinking adventurous sorts, I can't be the only one using less than ideal strings. Publish tension charts similiar to what D'Addario provide, and make strings available as singles in a...

    What's up with the four string streamers??

    Ok, I'm not a Streamer fan so it took me a while to pick up on this... Why is it that the neck P of four string streamers are inverted compared to all other neck Ps? Streamer: All other basses: Anyone care to shine some light?
