Well I am a little shocked I thought Warwick had good customer service but I don't think I had good service from them To cut a long story short I purchased a set of there red label strings as I had tried them in the past and thought they were not to bad and I thought they would work a treat on the bass I was going to put them on....Anyway I took them out of the packaging and chucked the packaging away (big mistake it was bin day) next job I measured up the strings installed them on the bass tuned it up plugged into my amp well the strings were crap they were deader than a dead especially the E string anyway IMO they were totally unusable as the were all dead and sounded dull and just awful. so I sat down and wrote an email to Warwick explaining my problem and that I was unable to return the strings as A) I bought them from Thomman and was not worth posting them back , Like a fool I had thrown the packaging away so could not return them anyway, So the next day Warwick reply to me and the reply basically goes "Our strings very seldom have problems return them to where you got them it is up to the retailer to sort it out" so obviously I was a little annoyed as it kind of felt like they did not care about my problem and had not really read my email correctly in the first place so I wont be buying anything else from Warwick. I have only ever had one bad string in the past and that was a Rotosound and when I contacted them about it they went through hoops to sort it out for me Anyway as I said Warwick will not be getting any more custom from me in the future they can poke it. Anyway rant over lol

Very nice bass rob and a cracking price

Ive replaced a Duncan SPB2 with it and its louder, crisper and to me anyway it seems to have an equal volume spread between all the strings and that was with just screwing it into the bass! Cracking bit of kit for the money, think i might get a pair for a jazz bass next [/quote] I am so glad you liked it Jeff I was really looking forward to trying it out myself but it wasn't to be but at least it has gone to a good home

Another fantastic deal with Jeff this guy is just Perfect really top bloke 10/10 thanks mate

Tetroseal thin it down a bit then roll it on with a textured roller is the cheap way but that Tuff Cab looks like some good stuff

Tom bought some pick ups from me he paid instantly and let me know they had arrived with him safely top basschatter deal in confidence

Cheers guys not really sure what to put it up for now and I am a bit reluctant to break it as it is such a nice sounding guitar (not that I can play it) to be honest I have not taken the neck off to check for markings, I think I will leave the choice of what to do with my boy as it is his guitar

Thanks for the help guys much appreciated so does any one have a fair ball park price I should put this up for sale at please so I can save my ears from an 11 year old who wants some pennys to spend lol

The peghead decal looks like those little waterslide letters you get in packs from craftshops, the little number 1 as well maybe indicates this was the first one he did or the first of a planned run? Nice hardware certainly, the string angles from the nut to the heads make me think home made, as well as the machine head angles, they have not all been fitted straight. Only and aesthetic issue but lends more weight to the idea it is a home made one. [/quote] Ah the strings look at that angle because they have been put on the wrong way but yes does have some quality hardware on it
