Hello, Bumpty bump, this really is a bargain, come on someone must have £90 to come and give me!!!!!

This is still available for just £90, really is brand new, i'm just using pro tools these days so this does not that much action.

Might be open to trades, maybe for a 6 string electric.

Regards
BIG ROB

This is still up for grabs, £90 with power supply if you come and pick it up from Oxford area.

Kind Regards

Hi All,
I have a Warwick Dolphin Pro 1 year 89, gloss black with wenge neck and fretboard. I love it, so light with great tone, still cant believe i picked it up for £750, few scratches on the back but for the price the bargain of a lifetime.

Big Rob

Thanks White cloud

Thanks all for the advice, If i did sell i would buy something still in my dads memory. Does anyone know the going rate at the moment for a second hand MK standard?

Hi Lozbass,
Thanks for the advice, yes all of the tracks are with the alembic.

Regards
Rob.

[size=3][font=Calibri][color=#000000]Hi All,[/color][/font][/size]
[size=3]I am really in two minds over this one. I have had my Alembic Mark King standard from new and purchased it with some inheritance money which I received on my father’s death, I would never have spent that kind of money on a bass normally but I saw it as an opportunity to buy something to remember him by. However as I get older my back is struggling with the weight of the beast and also it’s a bit nerve racking when I take it to gigs as it is perfect and I want it to stay that way.[/size]
[size=3]I now have a Warwick dolphin pro 1 which I use most of the time apart from recording when the Alembic always comes back out. So my question is really if I were to sell it how much should I put it up for? And if I did what should I reinvest in? I would be looking at custom builds and I’m not in to the jazz or fender shapes.[/size]
[size=3]Thanks for your help in advance [/size]

<p>The rotary knobs on the front just pull off, not that hard to do. The memory and shift buttons also just pull off.

Done it

Hi all,
Well i bit the bullet and opened up the RH450 to carry out the repairs and guess what, it was a real nightmare...... no not really it was really easy to do, here are some photos and a guide, i hope it helps anyone trying to do the same:

Tools required:
Allen key set
Torx bit set (got mine from screw fix £5.99)
Screw driver (pozi drive small)

1: First you need to remove the 3 torx bit screws on the top and the bottom of the unit. you also need to remove the rotary knobs from the front, these simple pull off, just pull square and with medium force to remove, i did not need to wobble them.
[attachment=134971:IMG_0425.JPG]

2: Then you need to remove the screws on the bottom of the unit (all of them), you will also need to remove the sticker as one is hiding under it, you do not need to remove the feet these can stay where they are.
[attachment=134972:IMG_0424.JPG]

3: You can now slide the casing off to the left, do this gently as the plastic front control panel sits in a channel on the casting.
[attachment=134973:IMG_0422.JPG]

4: You now need to remove the 2 allen key bolts in the black metal vented section on the right.
[attachment=134974:IMG_0423.JPG]
[attachment=134975:IMG_0414.JPG]

5: Now the front plastic panel can be removed.
[attachment=134976:IMG_0415.JPG]
[attachment=134977:IMG_0416.JPG]

6: The Memory buttons and shift buttons can be pulled off very easy and replaced now.
[attachment=134978:IMG_0419.JPG]
[attachment=134979:IMG_0420.JPG]

7: Once replaced put front panel back on, it is not glued in any way so easy to remove and replace. Then refit the black vented metal section and then refit the main casing and refit all of the screws removed.
[attachment=134980:IMG_0421.JPG]
[attachment=134981:IMG_0422.JPG]

8: The last thing to do is just push on the replacement Knobs, if yours were not broken like mine to start with then you can refit the ones you pulled off at the start, if you were careful they will not have broken.

There we go good as new and only took 30 mins start to finish.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Rob

Hi All,
Now i'm up to 118 views on this thread now so i must not be the only one who is considering or would like to know how to open up the RH450 and do these repairs. There must be someone out there who has done this. If not i will soon be the first and will have to take some pictures and post them up on here, however if i do break it then i hope you will all chip in £3 each for me to buy a new one!!!!!

Big Rob

Cheers Mark,
Think i might have a go and see if i can get into the thing. However i might just leave it for a while. However if anyone else has advice on this then please share, I'm sure i cant be the only one that wants to try and make this repair.

thanks to all the advice again, keep it coming

regards

Rob

Cheers Mark, there seems to be loads of screws in the casing, is it just the torx head ones i need to remove? also do i have to remove the knobs also or can it be done without doing this?

cheers all for the advice.

regards
Rob

Maybe your right but tc are sending me the replacement buttons and say its just a case of opening it up and popping off the old and replacing with the new ones. Someone must have opened one up, would really appreciate the help it anyone has.
