[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1337313969' post='1657910'] Still getting the 'attack' warning when using my bookmark, though can get here if I ignore it. Will delete bookmark and try again. [/quote] I have exactly the same problem. How can I ignore the wraning permanently?

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1337255447' post='1657883'] For any bass player (bass guitar i may add) to have no interest in guitars which are made by the same company that makes their favourite basses is stupid. [/quote] I guess it depends on whether you also play guitar, how much spare time you have to read or watch advertising content, your level of appreciation of/technical expertise in guitar-making, etc. While i'm reasonably fascinated by, and attracted to, any beautiful, well made instrument (stringed or otherwise), I would not use such a strong word as "stupid" for those who have no interest.

Aww, so glad to see I'm not the only one jumping around for joy like an overxcited kid every time I receive a new baby. I did just that when I got my NXT 5 a few weeks ago, and something not dissimilar when I took delivery of the HB upright. Enjoy! Music is good for the body and mind.

Never lose hope. I'll make sure to pop down to both suggested places in the next few days, before the actual meetup happens, and find a spot where we can find one another easily. On the day I'll have a BC sign of some sort with me, too.

No warning whatsoever from my usually very reliable PCTools free AV. Maybe all you guys have AV software that's being exceedingly paranoid???

Welcome to the club! Keep asking, if you have questions - I'm a newbie on that instrument too, and we can exchange opinions and tricks if applicable

I'm the proud owner of an NXT 5 and I'm happy to confirm that the dots are where the notes are. The first three dots on the E string mark F, F#, G, and so on. When in doubt, tune the bass with the open strings and then set the tuner to Chromatic, and then fret on the dots.

Welcome, DD!

Methinks someone should soon start a new thread with the appropriate year - and possibly also day and month - in the title

Thank you all for a. starting this topic and b. giving precious advice based on your experiences. I haven't got tinnitus at the moment (fingers crossed), and I'm always pretty careful and use (ordinary, cheap) earplugs at gigs, but I have now ordered a pair of "women's size" ER20s and feel safer

When you make a purchase through the English language site, they state that the price of each item is inclusive of 20% UK VAT, so I guess that's that. They charge your credit card in Euros, and the amount is the price shown on the item's page. They also provide a conversion in pounds, but that's only indicative - the exchange rate applied will be that on the day they charge your credit card (when they ship the item).

Keep in mind that they won't send out the new one until they have taken delivery of the defective one you're sending back. They told me so when I received a new bass guitar with a scratch, and complained, and asked what my options were. I wasn't offered a discount (I would probably have accepted it as the scratch was only little). What I did in the end was ask for a refund on the scratched bass, send it back, and at the same time order an identical new one from the website. That saved me a couple of extra days' wait, I suppose. It was a bit of a hassle, but then again, they're in Germany and delivery takes longer than popping down to your local music shop - which doesn't exist any more anyway...

Welcome metal brother! Keeeep It Heeeavyyy

I see your point, Bert, I was slightly irritated by that post of Garey's too, but I think we should cut him some slack, as he's new here, and stick to constructive criticism. I'm sure he - and his company - are more likely to take our suggestions on board that way.

@ Garey, I know, but still, many bassists are not interested in being kept up to the second about guitars, and vice versa for guitarists. I - and I'm sure many other Warwick fans - already receive your newsletters and other marketing material via separate emails, so I suppose at least your FB output could be tailored. Just a suggestion, and thank you for getting on to this forum and listening to us.

(...but in reality, this is what younger sisters were invented for...) [/quote] Damn, I'm an only child! Anyway, slightly off topic, best thing would be to be able to memorise each song and do away with the pages altogether - which I'm totally unable to do! I'm a reader through and through, whether it's notation, or simple chord charts, or even scribbled letters such as A, Bb etc. I [b]loathe[/b] tablature, though. Does anyone agree with my pianist friend who believes that musicians are divided into readers and memorisers, and you're either one or the other, but very rarely both?

You could suggest to the Social Media Team that they separate the Framus guitar content from the Warwick bass content, and target each stream appropriately.

I would hope so! But PM me if you'd like us to exchange numbers so you can check with me on the day, to be sure we haven't all left by that time. Choice between the two suggested places for the meetup still open, as we don't know what the weather will be like. Watch this space...

[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1337023853' post='1654278'] Hi Garey. Welcome to the forum, hopefully you'll enjoy your time here. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but it seems like you work for the perfect department to take this on board! I'm a big Warwick fan and have owned many. I recently had to unlike the Warwick and Framus facebook page because you guys were clogging my feed with so many posts. Firstly, I didn't appreciate the Warwick page getting combined with the Framus one, I don't play guitar and I don't want to subscribe to any information about it. Also I know what the Warwick range is, I don't want advertising for it every day in my social media feed! Hopefully this feedback will be useful to you guys! Dan [/quote] What dc2009 said. I've had to "Hide" your Warwick and Framus page on FB, which I'm sure is exactly the opposite of what you guys wanted to achieve.

LOL please don't stop this, it's too entertaining

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1337014649' post='1654040'] What, like issuing a formal apology for slapping? [/quote]

That weekend is fine by me. I really hope the bash won't be moved to the following weekend (6-7 Oct), as I won't be in the country and would have to miss it!

LOL this thread is fantastic. Kudos to iCastle for not losing his cool, for making the audience happy, and also for considering doing it all over again! I'm sure you're going to like it Incidentally, I don't mind jazz and I positively like fusion.

Welcome Garey. A thank you - and thumbs up - to Warwick for catering so well for left-handed bassists, not just those with the money to buy a "real" Warwick but also those who can only stretch to a Rockbass. Good stuff. It's great to be able to get most models in both RH and LH versions and with no surcharge, and usually no extra waiting time. Keep up the good work.

As I said, I'm up for it, transport permitting. Quit room fine by me, even if I have no particular vices to get rid of (I don't smoke, slap, listen to hip hop/nu-metal, etc.) Slap room I won't enter. Cooler only needed if summer actually arrives eventually (which is by no means guaranteed). Cake, tea and coffee welcome.
