Doctor J Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1321312720' post='1437819'] Here is my new Warwick, traded from Warwickhunt just a couple of days ago. It's an absolute beauty. It plays brilliantly, it looks fantastic but the real joy is the tone. I plan to get some new photos taken of it tomorrow. I've never been so excited about a bass since I got my ACG, which bodes well! [/quote] That is friggin' beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1321313949' post='1437843'] Ebony indeed! The tone is so, so good. Can't wait to get it recorded! [/quote] Glad you're enjoying it Chris, it was such a waste for that bass to not get out and be gigged but the weight was just too much for me... no probs for a young un like you!

Jacqueslemac Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've just taken delivery of this (via Basschat): The wood is a little discoloured because I don't think it was waxed very much when it was new (it came with an almost unused can of wax), so I'm getting stuck in with some elbow grease.

Chris2112 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've had a few days off playing and I have a new set of strings to fit it up with soon, so I am quite looking forward to getting back to playing it. Makes me appreciate the ACG even more. I can get the ACG out to fiddle with and find a multitude of great tones, I can plug the Warwick in and have two great tones!

budget bassist Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 [quote name='Jacqueslemac' timestamp='1327680990' post='1515335'] So here's my three-in-a-bed group shot: [/quote] Really like your collection there mate, it's not often on here you see a collection of the same bass that fulfill totally different purposes! Also, I know it's just a little thing, but those coloured string windings against the black headstock look very cool Used to have a corvette $$ just like that (dunno if it was you i traded it with?) but I loved it. Now back to a streamer $$, had it a couple of years now and not bought a new bass since! (This is coming from owning 2 or 3 at the same time and buying/trading every 3-6 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueslemac Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments. I'm trying hard to keep my collection the same size it is now. And succeeding at the moment. I bought my $$ from aphook, so I don't think it was your one, although who knows? I've not yet cracked the fretless thing, but the passive standard is getting more use than I thought it would. I bought it mainly as a back up for the $$, but it gets used as the main one in its own right too.

budget bassist Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Fair enough. Since I got a $$, I just haven't played anything else. Owned a stingray HH as well, and sold it for the $$. Bit of a shame, as I quite enjoy buying new basses, but I know they won't get any use now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BassKS Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 anyone have a spare 5 string warwick bridge in black for sale? sorry to jump in. one of my saddles has one of the grub screws completely stripped off its threads> a saddle would be much better (obviously cheaper as well) thanks Fatos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumour6 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi all, got a 1990 Thumb 5NT, had a 2005 Thumb 5 BO... although I love the build of the NT, neck shape, no dive etc... I preferred the sound of the 2005 especially on the low B... anyone else noticed this? Are the pickups the same i.e. could I just change the (terribly expensive!!!) preamp?? All help welcome as is a re-direct if this is in the wrong Forum... Mods??? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 After obtaining my first Warwick (Corvette Fretless - see above) I really wanted to score another.

I've not forgotten your suggestion of some fretless bass methods.
