tuning

Hi to all the warwick enthousiasts, I will very soon join the club, and I am playing on 5 five string bass but with a high C tuning. Does anybody play warwicks on this tuning? What are your experiences with it? Did you have some special settings or adjustements to do? Thanks for your reply. Ed.

Hey Guys, Just picked up my first 5 string and I am wondering what tuning everyone uses (besides the conventional G D A E B). I used to play my four string tuned G D A D. I'm playing with G D A D A on the five string and finding it quite interesting ( the bottom A is crazy :) ) So...

Is this some cruel joke? :evil: I can't believe the same thing just happened to me last night!!! :eek: Josh Emmons do your machines have a "W" on them? Mine do not! I believe you have a 2002 also. Did Warwick run out of tuners in 2002 and use some no name brand??? :?::?: Is there...

hello, i today aqcuired a 6 string bass from a friend who had to many guitars, over 20, due to GAS. He hooked me up with a 6 string bass he's never touched, i have no use for the high C string and just want this thing for experimental sub bass metal fun. What gauge do i need for the F3...

heyy guys, i have played a pretty nice squier jazz bass in metallic black for years now, it was my first bass.. in winter im gonna get my warwick thumb and the time to pimp up my j-bass has come. what i was wondering is how it would look like to get the finish off so i have the normal wood...

low B on 4 string so, I am gonna need one tuned BEAD one drop D the rest just EADG Let say I can use the follow basses: SS2 SS1 Pro1 InfinityNT Right now I use Pro1 as drop D SS2 as BEAD what would be your choice?

So I have a 5 string thumb bo, and I recently bought a 6 string set of strings, and strung it E-C instead of B-G, the nut works perfectly with the thinner strings, but I was wondering if I will need to take the bass in to get a setup for things like a truss rod adjustment or anything like that...

Hey how's everyone doing? I'm Andy, I've been playing bass for 10 years and warwick for about 4 of them. I go my Warwick thumb used about 4 years ago and it's been a great bass. But recently I've been having issuses with the tunning keys breaking. First my D string key broke wihile I was...

Hello all. I've been playing around with the EQ settings on my Warwick Profet 5.1 to see if I can improve the sound, and I've got a really good sound coming out now. Problem is the A string doesn't seem as loud as the other 3 strings, and I don't know why this is?? I have an Ibanez...

So, I am struggling a little with the 'neck dive' of my thumb, and I read some advice about exchanging the tuning pegs for lighter ones. Has anyone here done it? Does it make for a significant difference?

I just changed strings in my streamer stage one and the tuning peg for the A string colapsed... :confused: it just broke. Here's a picture: Should I solder it or just buy a new one, what do you think?

Hi, I have a Corvette Standard six string, and I'm having a problem with it - the 23rd fret high B note on the C string is constantly out of tune. It's the only note I notice a problem with; when you play it over the open G string below it sounds really sour, when it should should very...

Ive got a brand new corvette std 6 and the tuning keys seem to have some play in them. I was just tuning the bass last night and felt it shift very slightly as I was tuning it. The bass stays in tune it just concerns me that they are able to move around from side to side like that. This just...

What's up everyone? Just wondering...can a 5 string Corvette Standard be strung with a EADGC with the standard nut or does a special nut need to be cut to accomodate this tuning? I have a 5 string with a low B but really don't make use of the extended low range so I thought I'd go with the...

Hello ! I have a Warwick Streamer Stage One of 1992. The strings are now E-A-D-G. I want to change the strings to B-E-A-D ! Could this damage the bass-guitar ? Are there other reasons why I shouldn't do that ? Thanks StageOnePlayer This is my first post here in this forum. So hello...

About 2 months ago joined a band and the guitarists tune a whole step down and I followedd suit with a D / G / C / F. tuning on my 4-string Corvette $$. One song we do is in drop C, so I thought that was enough of an excuse to pick up a d-tuner, and it works like a charm! Even from the D / G...

Howdy. My Corvette Std 6 has an issue with its tuning keys. I'll try to explain: The tuners are held to the bass by two pieces of hardware: a small screw and a 15mm nut-like thing attached to a sleeve that goes around the tuning post. While changing the strings I noticed that all three of...

I’m in desperate need for some expert advice here! I’m going to be auditioning for a gig later this week and the band has given me explicit guidance to tune down each string of my bass 2 whole steps (ie., E string down to C). I did this on my 4-string Corvette $$ (which was set up...

Is it possible to get a different standard tuning e.g. taranis, dark lord for any BO warwick bass?

Whats really the difference between them? Here is what i think: Scale length - the vampyre is 34" while the darklord is 35" ... this means a lot as far as playability is concerned. The vampyre plays really smooth and soft as butter, meaning your vibratos, tapping and melodic lines will really...
