truss

So I scored the beautiful '95 Fortress MM on craigslist. I let it warm up in the case,restrung and played a bit and found some slight fret buzz. I adjusted the nut a bit and it eliminated all but the buzz on the E string. Rather than start messing with the bridge saddles, I opted to put a bit...

Can anyone tell me what length truss rod i need to replace on my Sreamer Jazzman? I think it is the 630mm type. Also how easy is it to fit a new one , anyone out there done one? Cheers , Max.

Hi guys, The threads on truss rod on my old Streamer are showing some wear, and there are metal fragments that make me think it might not last too much longer. I'm preparing the bass for sale, so I'd like it to be in tip top condition. If this has a removable truss rod, I'd like to change...

Hi, i never believed any stories about "crappy" warwick necks/trussrods, inspite of recurring posts in this and other forums. The typical answer is "well yeah, you might have broken it, warwick necks are rock stable" This is true for older models i guess, since my '89 Thumb is really stable...

Hi there I am looking for a Truss Rod Cover for my recently aquired Streamer No. 022. the nut has been replaced with a Jan 1 (I want to keep it that way) Would it be possible to get a replacement (the Webshop offers only new ones) cheers

Hello all, First time posting here. Does anyone know where I can get new truss rod tool for a Thumb 5 BO? Many thanks for the forum and the advice.

Hi, I have a streamer lx that has a broken truss rod and I thought that since the neck was going to be changed at warwick, maybe I could get it in fretless now, but they said it's not possible. Do you know why is that? Also the price to fix it is 350 €. It seems appropriate but you could buy a...

For those of you who are wondering, NO, this isn't some maturbation euphemism. I live in Western NY State (USA) and the closest reasonable guitar techs are about 100 miles (give or take) away. So, when a friend of mine and I were setting up my vintage 1986 Thumb 4NT (the white one that was...

Hello everyone. I bought this nice vintage streamer stage on ebay a few months back, however the truss rod was worn.. by which I mean that I cant get a grip with allen wrench. I informed the seller about the problem and tried to get a refund but he refused and said that the problem isnt hard...

I adjusted my truss rod for the first time last weekend and for a couple days I was really happy with the outcome – the action was perfect and there was no fret buzz. Then I picked up the bass the next morning and it seemed like it was back to the way it was before I made the adjustments. The...

Hi, a month ago I've bought Warwick Corvette Standard. In the time I was buying this bass I probably didn't know what I am doing completely and now I need an urgent help. I bought Warwick mainly because of the legendary "tough" Warwick necks. What I didn't know was the fact that it is imosiible...

since this is my first post i want to say hello to all warwick lovers here :D now to my problem. as you have read from title i have 1990 streamer stage I. i got it used some 2-3 years ago in relatively good shape with one exception. truss rod nut was quite stripped. over time neck bent a lot...

as stated in an earlier post..I recently went to tighten my truss rod and was met with resistence and nasty cracking noises coming from inside the neck when it did turn. After nearly a full turn I noticed no difference in neck relief. Im scared to keep tightining it and I dont really want to...

I was adjusting the truss rod on the Corvette I just got, and noticed how silky smooth and easy it is to turn. The truss rod on my Dolphin is damn near impossible to turn and it's not quite as straight as the Corvette, so what gives? What can I do to help the Dolphin's truss be easier to...

hi. let me describe the patient: the head of the truss rod (where you put in your tool in order to adjust the rod) is messed up by the previous owner who never learned how to treat a screw head (what can be so difficult here ??). what can be done to make the truss rod adjustable again ...

I have a 1998 str. stage2. This bass is somewhat unique in that it was made around the time Warwick was switching the components on their production models, so it has old parts and some new parts mixed together. In fact, only about 2-3 months after my bass was made, Warwick switched to Ovangkol...

I'm a active member in another forum. I posted a picture of a Dolphin and a member came back with it's a Warwick. I asked, What are Warwick bad? The member came back telling me about Warwick truss issues in the past. He's a Warwick player and had two new necks made for his. All truss related...

Ok, so I finally picked up my brand spanking new Thumb 5 LTD 2006 (the dirty blonde). I get it new this past saturday, take it to my favorite luthier to have it set up yesterday, and he discovers the turss rod is broken!!!!!! Someone, Please tell me, what should I do? I dont want to...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to re-set up my flooded Thumb 2001 LTD (aka the Phoenix). Well, I finally buffed it with 0000 steel wool and waxed it. It looks like new now! Does it have a bi-flex truss rod or a standard one? Thanks.
