    Thumb NT 5 string

    I just found this on BassCentral.com: (Do not worry, I'll be getting amplification first ;) I mean, what use is it to have a excellent bass if you can't be heard? ) What do you people think about it? It's in the Used/Demo section. Do anyone have experience with BassCentral? Are they...

    Infinity 5 string new US Price $6699.00

    Is it me or does anyone think that this is a bit high? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Warwicks, and I own a couple of Infinitys (and a Dolphin), and I also understand the weakness of the US Dollar against the Euro, but this is getting crazy. As I recall, when originally released, the...

    Drop In Replacements for 94 Fortress One 5 String

    Hey folks! Long-time lurker, first time poster. Several years ago, I purchased a Fortress One five string in red. I believe it's a 94, as it has the wenge neck/board, and the serial number ends in 94. Anyway, one of the MEC pickups doesn't seem to be working, so I figure I'll just...

    String Gauges

    Does anyone have any thoughts on string gauges on Warwicks? I've been using .045 .065 .080 .100 .125 for a long time. With my Warwick I haven't seen tapered strings in those sizes. I would prefer to have a B string a little smaller than .130 to have a more controled tone. Any thoughts?

    Warwick Streamer Pro M 5 string, unique paintjobs?

    Hey, i might buy a Warwick streamer Pro M 5 used. Condition seems as new, but the reason i post here is that the paintjob is different. Looks like a kid got ahold of some pencils and buckets of paint and just put it on. The seller says its from a series of around 20 (dont remember) that each got...
