Oh, and I believe the necks got bigger around '97, although fellow Rick Resourcers would no doubt correct me. I had a '96 CS with a very thin neck and a '98 V63 with a very chunky neck.[/quote] True! The CS is the same 'footprint' as the V63 and, like you, I have owned both with the same features as you describe. I'll never understand why RIC did that: fatten the neck and make the 'cresting wave' shorter. This also makes the pre '96-'97 CS more sought-after than the later ones with the fatter neck. My current V63 is just like this fella, great colour. Have a Sunday bump on me.

I use a heavy rubber band just past the nut but that basic capo looks it would do the job better. Great basses. HAve a bump on me!

The toaster has less output than the high gain and it is what makes the 4001 sound most appealling to me. Chris Squire ran his old RM1999 for years with just the front pup.

Dunno, mate. Had an offer of another Warwick as well, but I really need the readies. Whatcha got, anyhoo?

Itchy trigger finger means this HAS to shift. Open to reasonable offers.

Sold!

Reckon they must be .045-.110. Dunno what they are (got 'em off a mate to try out) but they have black thread. One set [i]was[/i] put on but I took 'em off right away as they ain't for me. £25 sees them all in the post to you and I'll chuck in a small selection of roundwounds as a buckshee.

Some of us have GAS, mate. Just went and bought something else in your absence but if your man can give us the skinny on those blotches..............

looks like the 'luthier' doesnt have say via the OP. Nothing via PM either. ilm out of this.

HAs the luthier attempted to remove these marks? Does he know how far they go through the finish?

Can you post some larger pix, please? The body I ordered has disappeared; refund came today! :-(

Still here................

Bump for final reduction.
