Hello. It's high time I change the stock flatwound strings in my rb corvette basic fretless (I despise them). A 60 - 80 - 100 - 120 nickel rounds by Dunlop attracted my attention (I'm going for D/C standard tuning). My question is: will these strings fit in the UNMODIFIED nut and bridge tailpiece? I thank you for replies in advance. Warm regards, Piotrek.

Can´t tell it 100 per cent, but I would say no problem. Firmly I can only talk about the 2-piece bridge. The 1-piece bridge is a bit narrow or 125er strings. 120 should be on the safe side.
 
Hello there,

I´m not sure, never used that string gauge on a 4 string Warwick.
 
Welcome to the forum brother!
Yes, they will fit, many of us switched to BEAD without mods.
 
Hello everyone. Update: no problems occured - these strings fit cleanly. Moreover, my bass hardly needed any setup for C standard tuning - just intronation and strings height correction (no truss rod setting was required, which was, nomen omen, a relief; it shows that even budget basses by W are quality instruments). The only pitfall of the strings change is that when playing these nickelwounds, every false note is painfully obvious :) Thank you for your input. Warm regards, Piotrek.
 
Glad everything went smooth.

And yes, Warwick basses are unforgiving, you have to actually play right, or get a 7ender. ;)
 
Anyways, I`ll be posting reviews of my two newest arrivals, Corvette Basic and the $$ soon, with pictures and how they`re set up.
