Just read this, RIP

Any recommendations for fretboard/neck waxing? I know the obvious is the warwick beeswax [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_beewax.htm?sid=9cf272ed86d93039bd825bbe2a238874"]here[/url] I remember seeing a stunning wenge board on here that someone had polished up but cannot remember what they said they used.

Now that i have joined the world of Warwick, thought id better show my face in here

do you have a cable?

Was in there this afternoon, bought a second hand Warwick Corvette Proline 6, great experience and Mark even offered me a ride home, try finding that at soundcontrol.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have just bit the bullet and downloaded this for my iphone, and frankly iv found it to be rubbish! Cant really detect open E, no chance on open B, and its wobbly everywere else? Is there something you need to do with this thing before it works right? i also have the Guitar toolkit, which works just fine, ironically i bought this for the extra accuracy! Any recommendations?

Well after a longer than wanted hiatus due to financial reasons, me and bass are together again, and she is a beast Il get my own pics up later, but here is a few Mark took at Bass Direct [attachment=50314:CovetteBodyTWIN.jpg] [attachment=50313:Corvette6TWIN.jpg] Sounded fantastic through the Mark Bass head and berg cabs, yet to get a proper amp sorted yet, all in good time

The only thing 'geekier' than a watch like that is a calculator watch. Surely no-one would actually wear that?!

Load of rubbish. Warwick will clearly be at least making their custom shop models in germany, they are still taking orders and advertising in bgm for a start. AFAIK it is just there standard corvettes.

dealer, they are made in china

Let us know how you get on mate I emailed the guy last week about the rick copy, very interested in it but at the moment i think 300 is too much until i see it getting positive reviews, although the maker does claim he gigs with one and has been for 2 months and thinks its great, but then he would say that

[quote name='luckman67' post='840189' date='May 17 2010, 09:06 PM']Yes it was the 4 string, but it is made in the same factory as it's more expensive counterpart using a lot of the same bits. Plus with it only being available for three years may add to it's high price on the secondhand market.[/quote] ...but for just 100 odd more you could probably find a proper stingray. The point is these were so great BECAUSE of the cheap price. 300 quid second hand was great, and a lot of bass for the money. Having owned one for over a year, i just don't think they are worth much more than that.

Lets not get into a fender type arguement. As the SUBs are made in USA you would expect they would be better quality instruments, but as with fender the cheaper built SBMM may produce the odd gem.

Great basses, although the novelty no longer exists as the second hand prices for some reason are now too close to a real stingrays to bother. If you can find one for about 350, go for it, but any more than that i wouldn't bother, its worth saving the extra money for the far more comfortable body and non-stick neck of the real stingray.
