woods

Ok so im planning on ordering a custom Vampyre, so is it just the Dark Lord with the .175 gauge or is it the Vampyre line in general? So I was thinking I wanted a tone like the P-Nut streamer 3, growl like the warwick thumb NT, and the dirty blonde. I want a dense heavy wood, for better...

What's up guys! I plan on getting a custom Streamer Jazzman sometime in the future and I am trying to decide what body wood I want. I am looking for a bright high midrange snarl that sounds hard... almost like playing with a pick. I have been thinking Maple, Afzelia or French ash. What's...

Streamer Stage 1... Finally ordered ! Hey guys ! As you may already know, I'm on the market for a Warwick Streamer, but I was not sure about the overall configuration. For a while I settled on the $$, then the Jazzman. Why ? Because of comfort, mainly. My right hand comfort matters a lot to...

I've been drooling through the CS gallery, and found a couple of basses that are said to be bubinga pommelé, but look quite different to me. I'm still a novice when it comes to woods, so I'm probably wrong, but I'd be real grateful if you experts on here could check and tell me if these really...

Does anyone know about the tonal qualities of Jatoba, Purpleheart, Persimmon or Ipe being used as fingerboard woods on a fretless electric bass with a maple body?? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

does anybody know a good site with correct info about the subject? I've read through many, often finding untrue and even contradicting stuff... thanks in advance :)

Again, another question for my plan of buliding a Corvette $$ :-) I like basses having a deep, growly sound, maybe like the bass here: (Just listen to Lord Of Illusions). After having played the $$ in the Musicstore, i really liked it's sound - so, to get a nice growl, with not too...

1st - I heard that the tone difference between the BO and the NT Thumb are mostly caused by the difference in the woodsand the electronics, so i wonder if a BO Thumb with the NT woods and electronics will get the same tone as the NT (with less sustain). It can be an alternative if i dont...

What are some strange places you've seen exotic woods used? I normally can't imagine wenge or ebony being used for anything else outside of a musical instrument, but that's probably where I desire them most. Here there is some wenge, blood wood, and zebra wood in a set of drawers. It's...

hey guys im building a fretless bass for a school project and i want to know what woods to use to get a really mellow, warm tone. the tone you would find in reggae bands and stuff. what soft woods are good for this? all i know is hard woods :lol: your help will be immensely appreciated, im...

Hi , this is my first post , i have been reading this forum for a few years. I'm about to buy my first warwick thumb, i was wondering if you guys could help me get some info on this bass (which type of wood etc), the body woods seems a bit dark . I have the serial number too mayb some1 could...

Anyone know? It's the NT model w/ the 7 piece neck. Thanks! And since we're on the topic, anyone know of some sort of "database" that shows woods used on 'Wick models through the years, possibly with electronics/pickups/etc..?

Was like a half year ago, it was mentioned that maybe in the future, customers could personally pick their own piece of wood, like Buckeye Burl or Bubinga Pommele for a small upcharge..................Any news on that one Oliver ?? This would be so awesome.................Anyone else who...

Hello, my name is Roby and i am new in the Warwick family and in the forum. I only started playing bass recently but i immediately fell in love with my Corvette 5 $$ NT. It may seem a bit early but i really want to have a 5 string from the Custom Shop and therefor i need the help of you...

alright guys this is it..i'm in a seriously bad GAS attack and i'm gonna get myself another custom shop bass in early 2008... ...this will be a 5 stringer tuned F#BEAD, i'm still not sure about which body shape to choose, but i already know it will have a J/TJ pickup config, maple fingerboard...

They added: - French Ash (Vampyre Dark Lord) - Tineo Wood At least I think they're new to the list.................now I'm gonna check out what Tineo Wood is........... :D

I guess most of us can have a relative idea, based on various sound bytes and reviews, of what Ash or Bubinga can do for your sound, but what of the other Custom shop wood possibilities? What does Afzelia, Amarello, Carolena, Cherry, Walnut, Wenge do for the sound? I'm interested in a...

Hey guys, I would like to know if it would be possible to have a fingerboard made of bubinga pommele. If not is it entirely impossible or would it just be too expensive? I'm willing to pay a lot.

Are all Warwick models available in the woods listed in the custom shop web page? Just wanted to know if the concave bodies needed certain woods, because of the way they are carved. Need to know for my next dream bass. :lol:

Hello to all fellow Warwick freaks, I was recently looking at many (other) high-quality basses and saw some very unique woods . This is why I'd like to ask the officials at Warwick (Ollie) if the Warwick custom shop can build a bass with the following woods: Buck Eye Buck Eye Burl...
