wood

I ordered a custom afzelia Corvette fretless from Warwick about a month ago, and now I'm a bit worried that I did not specify the cuts of fingerboard ebony and body afzelia more specifically. When I placed the order, I was basing my choice of afzelia on the uniform looking cuts used in the...

I was wondering.......... Warwick's choice of body woods have expanded tremendously in my opinion, but the choice of fingerboard woods has remained the same. Is there maybe a wood you guys like to see being offered that looks or sounds different ?? Pau Ferro ?? Purple Heart ?? Why not Bubinga...

I need some help!~ I have a Dolphin Pro I 2001, and yesterday the neck pickup 'popped out' on one side,..the screws pulled out of the wood underneath. I've never heard of anyone having this problem before? I took the pickup out and both metal brushings remained on the screws, so they had pulled...

So, I pretty much find any info of wood used by Warwick on the internet, such as Bubinga, Ovangkol and Ebony...................but really, I don't find anything about Ekanga, which Warwick uses for veneers on the neck for the Thunb NT, Hot Rod, and other models. What is Ekanga ?? Where does...

I was looking at the woods in the custom shop, and I had a few (because of their beautifull looks) in mind, and was wandering if someone could tell me what's their sound like. The buck eye purl, the swirly bubinga and lacewood. Does anyone know how the sound is? and what could make good...

That new .175 F# string has gotten me thinking about my next bass, and I'd like to try it out, but in the best possible conditions... What wood do you think would get the growl in that low F#? Would simple, run of the mill, honest to goodness Ash be good enough? PJ

most of the times, years passes before we decide for another truss rod asjustment or maybe we just bought an old bass, and through time the steel truss rod accumulated rust that caused it stuck to the wood. uncertain of the cause, most rod that breaks, i think, is related to that...

ei guys, im just curious: IF I SHELF MY WARWICK FOR A LONG TIME W/ THE STRINGS LOOSEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE NECK? cuz my friend blames the loosen strings for the neck disalinement of his $$ when he shelf it for a long time. IS IT TRUE, the absence of tension from the strings in a long...

I was looking at the different woods that warwick uses in their custom shop and I was wondering what effect they have on the sound of the basses they are used on. Anyone know how some of the woods (if not all) effect the sound?

Hello everyone, I was recently at my favorite music shop and spent a long time playing around with a Stage II 5-string. I don't think I've ever been more satisfied with a bass in my whole life. Yet I would still like to order one with an AAA flamed maple body (mainly for visual purposes)...

Anyone know what wood choice would make the lightest neck possible? (I think maple with maple fingerboard). And while we're at it ,which body shape is heavier ,given the wood choice is the same, a corvette or a streamer? I am trying to figure out which options would make the most vertical...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen 8) Today, i've got a question about the beautiful Thumb NT on the warwick page This one.... Is this really Bubinga Pommele? All Thumb Basses i've seen are looking different compared with this one?! I have to say, that Pommele is not my...
