wood

What is the difference in sound between ash and bubinga? Getting ready to buy a corvette bass and cannot figure out which kind of wood to get. Can anyone help me with this?

I really like this wood and finish on this MTD 535 Does anyone know if its available in Custom Shop? I think its called Myrtle-Burl with a blue burst stain.

Any of you guys know the specific weight of different type of wood used by warwick? Today I just received my SSII fretted 4 with wengee finger board and neck. It felt significant lighter than my SSII fretless also with wengee neck but ebony finger board. The fretted is less neck heavy...

hello fellow warwick fellows, i have finally decided to get myself a CS warwick. i love the thumb sound but the corvette's look and think that the $$ version gives me a lot of tonal options. so i thought of combining the best of two worlds (subjective) i will be getting an ovangkol...

hi. i have a streamer stage 1 from 04 the wood is not AA flamed maple, but AAA flamed maple. why ? is it a custom shop ? as far as i know, the wood normally used on stage 1 streamers is AA maple. can anyone help ? thanks.

Just had to share this. Los lobotomys, with John Pena and his warwick streamer. There's the sound of wood! Oh man that is sweet! Insane playing :) Hero with 100 eyes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HAV_6z7VJn8 Party in Simons pants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp9iQb8sGfk

Hey everyone, I installed new pickups about a month ago. When setting the heights, I stripped one of the screws and had to pull it out with pliers. The pickups brought their own set of screws, so I figured I'd try them out. I put them in, but they seemed a little too tight for the brass...

I have owned the Corvette Proline 5 string bass for about 3 yrs now and I absolutely love the sound I get out of it. Now I am looking into buying a 4 string Warwick bass. I am looking for good versatility in sound from punchy mids, to good slap sound, and clear lows always keeping that amazing...

Is there any way to clean those slap marks on the wood?

Hey everyone! After lurking for a bit yesterday I found you all to be very knowledgable on the technical aspects of Warwick basses, and I need help. I've had some serious GAS for about a year now, and have saved for quite a while (no job, I'm still in education so I haven't got anywhere near...

does anyone know what exact model, spec, bodywood and neckwood of this 1993 5-string streamer ??? i know they are discontinued, but do u guys have any idea of how much it cost in the second hand market, this bass is almost in perfect condition...

Just out of curiousity...are there any customers who have or is it possible to send in your own woods to have a bass made to Warwick specs? Just curious as I work for a large Office Furniture company and I occasionally come across very nice unusual cuts of wood. Is this possible ? Would...

Hi guys, Had a go at the apparent 'burn' on my SS1 last night with some steel wool and it's not coming off at all. A friend of mine suggested it might be a knot in the wood. What do you guys think? Cheers, P

Ok, so far we have: A Thumb NT5... Let's see, What should the main body wood be? (we can add a top if we feel like it afterwards...) ( I know there are woods that are available through the custom shop that are not listed here, but I've taken my favorites! It's my pet project...

I just purchased a ss1 from 1987. I am pretty sure the body is not maple. Could it be cherry ?? It still has the one-piece bridge, nice perloid inlays on the neck and some awesomely powerful emg´s. Thanx for any help. Greets Oliver

Hi :D would there be a vast differance in sound from a oil stain finish to high polish stain oil finish. whats the differance in sound???? 8) Thanks :P

Hi guys and gals. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me identify the wood that has been used on my Streamer. From past experience I am aware that Streamers from that period would have been either Cherry or Maple, however this doesn't look like either of those (I've owned both...

Wondering if anyone does wood working as a hobby or profession? I have in the past heavily modified basses by carving the bodys... And if you recall reshaping the neck a bit on my Warwick. I just ordered 6 peices of 15/16" diameter turning blocks and 3 sheets of 1/4" thick ovangkol.. I'm...

I know there are plenty of other of these threads...but I just wanted some expert opinions. I went to Bass Cellar on Denmark St (London) yesterday, played a Streamer $$ (which I am considering for my next bass). At first I thought it was a bit clunky but after a bit more playing and getting...

Wondering if any of these would be possible to do... A wenge body? Bubinga, Ovangkol, or Wenge body with an Ebony top? Just wondering... I really like a very hifi sounding bass with ALOT of mids and pop to it... And not much a fan of the lighter woods like maple, alder, or ash.
