oldslapper Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) 2000 built warwick streamer standard in green stain. Single pup, passive, coil tap. Nice simple functional bass, used over my active 5 string corvette for main gigging bass. Some dings on back from gigging, but can't see from front. "Proper" warwick neck and finger board, not yer eastern rockbass. Please note posts below concerning nut. It doesn't affect the intonation, tuning, set up, etc. As stated common prob, that's not a pob. £190 +pp, or pickup/delivery (within 50 miles of North dorset).

pantherairsoft Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nice, I used to have a 5 of this, exactly the same finish as well. Was my gig bass for years. Amazing quality for what they are worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 I know I know, alredy had this conversation with "domestic mangement".. would like to keep, but decided on having a complete purge...(of everything bassy) and starting again. See what there is to buy when I know what I've got to spend, as opposed to usual practice of buying, then seeing how much I have to spend. Luckily my band mate owns a guitar shop so won't go short of a guitar or amp in mean time. This forum has reignited severe GAS!...somebody help!

Moos3h Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Excuse my ignorance, I've not seen these that much before, but in the shot of the headstock it looks like there should be two retaining screws running down through the nut - but there aren't? Is this correct? Or do they serve some other purpose? Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi no worries, it's the retaining holes for alen key adjustment for the nut height. Warwick adjustanut system, very useful for setting up the guitar. cheers, John [quote name='Moos3h' post='636292' date='Oct 25 2009, 05:15 PM']Excuse my ignorance, I've not seen these that much before, but in the shot of the headstock it looks like there should be two retaining screws running down through the nut - but there aren't?

Cheers, James[/quote] They are grub screw adjusters for the nut (i.e. you can raise, lower or tilt the nut according to taste), however the camera angle/shadow does seem to show that part of the nut nearest the G string has chipped/cracked off, Yes/No? <edit> DOH!

oldslapper Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks warwickhunter, Just looked at the nut closely and compared it to my corvette 5. you're right there is a plastic piece missing from edge of nut. Not noticed it before. The G string retains in groove very securley still and the justanut system functions fine, intonation and tuning never been a problem. Any experienced warwick owners out there to help identify what the edge plastic thing does (sorry for ignorance). I had a fortress years ago that had a brass nut, don't remember any extra edge "bits". I'll take this baby off for sale in the mean time.

It's a pretty well documented problem area for that particular version of the adjust-a-nut. Replacements are readily available and owners often just live with the little break (as it doesn't affect much, unless you play with your hand/fingers gripping the nut ) or when fitting a replacement they are sometimes fitted with the latter system.

gnasher1993 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 As for the nut issue, I reckon you would do better getting a good luthier to fit a brass nut (or similar). However, I've never owned a Warwick so couldn't comment on the JAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Go on Wayne, you'll love it! Out of all the Warwicks these are the most punk anyway. I sold mine a while ago and they're very well made, plus they have great necks My Corvette has both sides broken off the Just-a-nut and it doesn't budge until you take the strings off. It's still anchored with the two allen screws holding it in place, nothing to worry about at all. Anyone know why they didn't stick with the brass one? That has adjustment on each string and i think it's a great piece of design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Got someone interested, but in case things don't work out, whatchagot? This is supposed to go towards funding a 5 string. So could put this in with some cash if a 5'er is available.
