[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1317294298' post='1389090'] This is why I like Warwicks so much, something as ostensibly simple as a top nut on most basses can be the source of a lot of pain and loss of cash. Warwick have all the issues with a nut sorted. They really think about solutions to problems. [/quote] Yep, love the quality, build and mechanics of Warwicks. If I can sell my MIA Jazz, I would get a Streamer SS1 or Streamer LX Jazzman and use it as my main bass. Nothing seems to be selling at the moment so in a bit of a pickle

Well had a go last night at replacing the damaged nut and it was a doddle. Took me 5 minutes. Job done. Thanks for the help everyone.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1317215605' post='1388179'] Now that's a proper rehearsal room, full of character [/quote] HEHE In between those two pictures is a giant fireplace. Above the fireplace we also had a giant picture of Billie as well as more pictures of Natalie

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1317214809' post='1388153'] A caveat being however, how much imodium you are taking. Spare pants take up less space than spare trousers [/quote] Hey Marvin, you will like this. This is where we used to rehearse before going on tour. Does the posters on the walls look like anyone familiar to you, maybe some Aussie singer [attachment=90383:196643_1002270689848_1017246933_3037_1474_n.jpg] [attachment=90384:198027_1011918771044_1017246933_51690_1058_n.jpg]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1317214190' post='1388133'] Don't wear pants or socks. More space saved. [/quote] You sir are a genius. I think this is the way forward from now on

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1317208103' post='1388025'] Spare pants for four days........ not very rock 'n roll [/quote] Yeah you should only need 1 pair of pants for four days. Wear them forward on day one. Wear them backwards on day two, wear them forwards inside out on day three and wear them backwards inside out on day four. See, that saved you space. One pair of socks for two days obviously

Yes, lower gauge rounds is going to be my next job (when I get paid ) I normally use light 40 - 100 but its currently strung with 45 - 105 on.

[quote name='Jerry_B' timestamp='1317110331' post='1386715'] Maybe try some flatwounds...? [/quote] Really not a fan of flatwoulds. The bass came with a set of La Bella Deep Talkin flats and it sounded horrible and I have tried other flats on other basses and they just sound and feel horrible to my ears

Yes, about the same as when plugged it.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1317079733' post='1386589'] Take it to the Gallery. They are Warwick Service people and they will do a cracking job. There is no mount on the JAN, just carefully remove the old JAN with a Stanley knife blade as a lever, and sand off any glue residue, then a couple of small drops of superglue on the new one and it should fit perfectly. I have done this a couple of times. There's a guide on the warwick site somewhere on how to fit a new JAN. [/quote] Thanks Nigel, you are a top fella. Will give that a go this week. Thanks to everyone else for the help.

I am the proud owner on a Warwick Streamer Jazzman and at some point I would like to get it set up and some work done to it. The Just-A-Nut edge clips that hold the nut in place have snapped off and so I have a new Just-A-Nut III which needs fitting. It looks as though the existing Just-A-Nut mouting is different to the new Just-A-Nut III mounting. Rather than take it to any old local guitar shop to fit, I would sooner take it to a recommended or approve Warwick specialist if one exists. Does ayone know of any good Warwick Service Specilaists in or around London/Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire etc?

Yes, as far as it will go I think. I might have another look at it all again just to double check. The neck does look quite flat now so its just at the bridge end which could do with lowering so the strings are lower up at the high end of the neck.

Well I managed to lower the strings and it did improve the fretless mwah a little. However, I would like the strings to be even lower but I have lowered the nut and bridge as much as possible and straighted the neck as much as possible and I personally can't get the strings any lower. So for me, the next step is take it to an expert.

To be honest I used to get this and still do very occasionally. The reason I got it was I use to play with a plectrum. After 23 years of doing that, I decided to move to fingers which was ok but I found that if I played anything fast or aggresive, my plucking hand just started to freeze and go numb. Thankfully I am aware of it and have tought myself to player softer, not dig in so hard and just relax. I don't reallt get it that much now, occasionally on the odd fast aggresive song. So maybe you were just digging in too hard and playing with too much enthusiasm.
