    Well after a lot of sanding and cleaning i've decided to leave the bass with it's warwick finish. I first cleaned the bass with Liberon wax remover then used 400 grit sandpaper, then wiped down the bass with Acetone. Then a round of 800 grit followed by 1200 wet and dry. After all that i decided just to re wax the bass. The bass looks and feels great. Thanks for all the advice.

    With some bridges you can adjust the distance between strings, this bridge is not adjustable so the string spacing on this bass is a very comfortable 18mm at the bridge.

    I was thinking of a satin nitro for 2 reasons; Provide a harder outer shell, the maple neck is susceptible to small dings i thought that the niro may provide a harder skin making it a bit more resistant. Its long lasting. I think i'll follow your recommendations, i'll get some liberion wax remover, use it and white spirits and a fair amount of elbow grease and make an assessment once that's finished.

    Its a 5 string 2010 LTD corvette, so it was a wax finish.

    Any advice from you luthiers out there would be great. I picked up a Warwick bass on Gumtree a few months ago that i'd like to refinish, last guy used oil to seal then wax on top. I'd like to refinish with a satin nitro. Any advice on chemicals to use to get rid of oil and wax. Elbow grease and sanding would be first stage, then i though Acetone might lift any residual oil.

    The Combo did indeed have a faulty tweeter, repair was going to take too long so Mark at Bass Direct has sent me a brand unit, arrived yesterday. Bass Direct guys were really fair and easy to deal with, really quick email response. Love the amp! Thanks all for your help.

    Nothing even at max vol, i can hear the 12" but not the tweeter

    With the same setting as you (vol, eq =0), i can hear no hiss just the fan. Damn.

    I have a question i hope someone can answer, i've just bought a new Markbass Combo 121 Lite and i'm surprised at NO hiss coming from the tweeter. If fact i'm not sure i can hear anything coming from the tweeter. I have a CMD 121H which has an obvious hiss, so i suspected this amp would have some. So the question is to anyone out there with this amp, is there any hiss from the tweeter?
