[quote name='BottomEndian' post='978341' date='Oct 5 2010, 01:51 PM']Half a turn?! That's [i]loads[/i]! I've never had to do more than an eighth... maybe a quarter at a push... when the seasons change. I've also found that summer to autumn seems to flatten the necks off (introducing rattles and buzzes), rather than causing more bow, so I've gone to the [b]left[/b] at this time of year. Do different neck woods react completely differently to seasonal changes?[/quote] Well seriously don't quote me by the letter, half a turn for some basses and less for others, yet it needs to be done when winter is setting in.

I know someone with a nice early neck through streamer for sale......[/quote] Actually it's only us here in the UK that pronounce them Warrick like, whereas in Germany where they are made, and in the rest of the world they are pronounced war-wick

Would you like me to draw you a pic?

Time to give the trussrod a half turn to the right.

orangepeelneil, let me put my 5p worth here. I have probably bought one of the last 51's reissue "Crafted in Japan" series, before Fender decided to discontinue them earlier this year, leaving only the Gordon Sumner model to continue to be sold. Just as you I would feel well embarassed if my bass said Sting on the fretboard, I'd sooner chisell it out and plug the hole with a nice maple veneer bit to match. Yes it is a slab body, but if you look at the inside of my arm after playing it for a night you won't see a painful indentation, nor am I developing warped nerves. You might not like the look of a slab body but in those basses the secret in the sound has a lot to do with the body mass. It's an heavy fugger, but it pays you back with an accurate rendition of the period correct Precision sound in a way that only those who play it and hear it can "get". I say if you find one for sale on ebay, as often they do pop up, prance on it as it wil be a choice you will not regret Here is mine, and this is a keeper.

I love Ed and his playing, even a plank sounds pukka in his hands. This is his latest video (Yeah I am that sad, I have subscribed to his channel) in which he sports a limited edition Warwick Streamer LX in a rare redwood top. Now I am not that much of a Warwick fun, but whether it's Ed's playing or the bass this sounded very good to my ears. [i][b]CZECH[/b][/i] it out!

Here is a man enjoying his new instrument, as caught on iPhone camera by a friend. Even a friend of mine loved it so much he never tried a bass before in his life but he was making musical sounds with it, without knowing a single note against a drum loop (ok he was stoned but hey ho)
