    Crazy idea !! 6 to 5 Strings

    Hi, I didn't sell my Thumb 6 BO last week, it were both good news & bad news, I really need some money to solve my personal problem, but I will regret to sell any Warwick bass no doubt. I sold my Fender Jazz bass, Spector CR4, Tobias Basic 4, Trace Combo...but no Warwick!! The reason I...

    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...

    Intonation problem with new strings

    Hi, I just replaced the strings on my 5-str. Corvette Std. for the first time and have a slight intonation problem. The problem is that the B-string is still too sharp at the 12th fret and I can't turn the intonation screw any more because the spring on the intonation screw seems to be...

    About strings...

    I find the black labels that were standard on my corvette a little too big for my liking, I like the black labels, but I find the gauges a little wrong, I think the E is 105, and the A string feels like the same size as my E string was before. Anyway, I haven't used more then 4 different...

    Light Gauge Strings - DR Long Necks

    Anyone use DR Long Neck Strings in light gauge (40-100's)? I am using 45-105's now, but I thought I would try a lighter gauge... any drawbacks? I assume a setup will need to be done after this change, correct? -Yos

    Strings? What really are the best to use?

    Ok, So I have tried a lot of strings and I can't decided on what I like better. I used Elixers, Ernie Balls, DR's, GHS, Dean Markley Alchemy, D'Addario, but yet I am still not satsified. I'm looking for a nice tight sound with a bright Low E for Slap. I'm a big Dirk Lance fan (Incubus orginal...

    strings constantly out of tune

    Has it ever happened to you that a string doesn't have the same pitch in the 12th fret harmonic as it has as an open string? :? it's very weird! Actually this set of strings, which I've just installed btw, seems to be out of tune everywhere even after I've set up the intonation (yes, 12th fret...

    Bartolini Pickups and Black Beauty Strings...

    I wanted to have noise-free passive pickups and a true Active/Passive mode, so I upgraded to a set of Bartolini 9CBJD3 Pickups and a Bartolini 3.4 preamp, running at 18V. To maintain the Warwick knobs and have a Blend control with the Volume (instead of one Volume for each pickup), I replaced...
