I use the 170BT set and they do drop D just fine.

I can't answer that question myself, but this site is one I often go to for that kind of knowledge. Hope it helps. http://www.headfonia.com/

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1454666521' post='2971760'] If the bass was not as you were expecting, and did not meet with published spec, Why did you not return the bass? [/quote] In short because returning a bass because the pickguard is the wrong colour seems somewhat extreme as it is so very easily changed. My beef is not so much about the spec differences but that this should have been a ridiculously simple transaction; a replacement p/guard for a production model.

Truly a grim time for musicians that were the soundtrack to my youth (sorry for the overused cliché) and opened my eyes to music in all its variety.

I just acquired a set at the time I posted on here but not fitted them to a bass as yet. Never tried this type of p/up before as I've always been a single coil guy.

Another week has gone by and not a peep out of Warwick. I love been treated like this.

Just a heads up that Thomann are offering these at c.£76 + P&P. Seems to be about £20+ below the average.

Great buy Jon, looking forward to seeing the finished article. Just acquired a Farida P myself that I'm 'upgrading' a little. Nowhere near as old but equally good value I hope.

I hear from sources that Mr Rothery attracted some comments from Mr Wilson re his tardiness.

Saw Steve at the Manchester Apollo last night. What a great show, recommended to all who like this style of music.

Happy to help as I'm a Chorley (Lancashire just to confirm!) resident.

... and my first proper bass, a Spector Legend 4, I wonder where that is now?

I'm fairly sure there are a couple of ACGs with ebony tops knocking about. But not the full monty so to speak.

Steve Wilson in Manchester tomorrow.

I admit to looking quite lustfully at this one, just not sure if I am cool enough and/or have the right shades to wear whilst playing it in front of people http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-custom-00161/

Rather like the Cutlass; with a 3-octave neck too. Never quite understood why Leo stopped at 20 frets.

I had a RW J for a bit, and during one gig the headstock brushed the edge of a bit of the drum kit making a small mark (I was aiming for the singer of course). I was instanteously annoyed with myself and then realised that it was probably the only legitimate mark on the bass so felt much better.

Still rumbling on re some cash back for the general inconvenience. Warwick have moved from replacement pickguard plus full refund inc. postage; to replacement pickguard with part refund; to we'll refund the postage. I did offer to split the whole thing 50/50 but apprently not.

I suggest getting in touch with Scott (All Thumbs on here), here's his website: http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/why-short-scale/

Good story and good luck. Have you tried tracking it through the feedback threads if possible?
