lemmywinks Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If it arrived like that, yeah. £40 is a 3rd of the initial price so the deal doesn't look quite as sweet with that factored in, especially as it wasn't anything to do with you. Was it couriered? Do you know what's wrong with it, is it the pup or something else? Might be worth posting a hi res pic on here of the control cavity.

mart Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If it turns out to be a problem with the pickup, not just the wiring, drop me a PM, cos I've got a spare set of MEC pickups that came out of my Rockbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 On all the Warwicks I've played I've only liked the middle position - both PUs on full. But that all changed when I got a $$, which has loads of usable sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that's listening solo. In my last band I found my tone slotted into the mix better if I rocked back towards the bridge - 3/4 bridge, 1/4 neck.

waynepunkdude Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 4 months on and it is my 'go to' bass, find it really easy to play doesn't match the tone of the MusicMan (there is £1K gap in price) but for at home it's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
