The Warwick bridge is set into the body so you will need to significantly modify the body of your bass. It is just a matter of drilling new holes for a Mono bridge so much simpler. Incidentally, I love the Warwick bridge but I cannot remember ever seeing one retrofit to a non-Warwick bass due to the routing involved. Any reason why you are only choosing between those two? Many, many bridges out there, I rather like the Schaller 3D type.

I have heard of several bassists who use the Synth Wah for its octaver alone Given that they are now just [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digitech-XBW-Bass-Synth-Wah/dp/B0002GYYFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397675417&sr=8-1&keywords=bass+synth+wah"]£32[/url] to buy new (they have been selling second hand for more!) why not buy a few?!

I have found that Warwicks favour nickel rather than steel strings, for me it seems to bring out the characteristics of the Warwick tone best. I have used Dr, D'addario and Dunlop strings to great effect.

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1397510132' post='2424724'] Thanks for the advice guys. I have detailed to him what I was told from my second opinion about how exactly the installation is incorrect, and have asked for both a refund of his original fee and compensation for the cost of having a new bridge cut elsewhere (no second chances handling my bass, although I didn't say as much of course). I think that's pretty fair. He's a nice guy, and I hope that's the last of it. I don't want to be rude or spiteful, but that installation he did could well have ended up doing some serious damage over time - luckily it was picked up on early enough! Although it was hard not to since the adjusters didn't even work.... He is a fair luthier (trained and apprenticed) who has done some minor adjustments for me in the past, and has done major work on friend's basses. Perhaps he is more used to the classical DB side of things and was out of his comfort zone with the full circle? Not sure how I feel about public name and shame (anyone care to chip in?)[b][i], but feel free to PM me if you're in the Oxford area and would like to know for peace of mind[/i][/b]. [/quote] Name and shame policy for me is simple: if he responds fairly and sorts this out for you the way he should, and your message seems to represent this, then no naming or shaming. If he does not respond fairly and refuses to be of further assistance to you and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, name and shame away so no-one else will make the mistake of dealing with him

Sold my Dingwall Z1 to this fine fellow, he arranged for the bass to be picked up the same day and paid cash on collection, can't say fairer than that! Cheers mate!

Just sold some strings to this bloke, paid straight away and seems happy, nice deal! Cheers buddy!

The answer is Yes, and which basses they are differ for every person!

It varies so much its crazy. I have had a pedal turn up from the US in a matter of days, not using the express service either. I used the express service last year, 3-5 days, took 2 weeks.

Best thing to do is give Doug/Spencer an email. They are both excellent at sorting things out, be it advice or repair

I dunno, several LTD s have the twin j in the neck position, do they not? I imagine there would still be a noticabke difference.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1396980686' post='2419449'] I know...but I really don't like the p-bass tone [/quote] Don't do it buddy, or if you must then please get it done by a pro as it is too beautiful a bass to mess up! The Twin J pickups are fantastic, though, and having two with coil taps on both would be awesome!
