My first Warwick

[lemmywinks]

If it arrived like that, yeah. £40 is a 3rd of the initial price so the deal doesn't look quite as sweet with that factored in, especially as it wasn't anything to do with you. Was it couriered?

Do you know what's wrong with it, is it the pup or something else? Might be worth posting a hi res pic on here of the control cavity.

I picked it up.

Think it a loose wire, I'll post a pic later.

If it turns out to be a problem with the pickup, not just the wiring, drop me a PM, cos I've got a spare set of MEC pickups that came out of my Rockbass.

Why is it that all the decent folks that I could give a hand too live gazillions of miles away...

WPD - sure its a 5 min job for someone that knows end of an AVO and soldering iron from the other!

I was thinking that just the other day.

Kind of you man, ironically I have been in the Lincoln area 3 times in the last 2 weeks.


I dropped the bass of at Dave Willard's today, should be done next week.

What's a Wayne-TM paint job? Hopefully nothing to do with the Zulu-inspired paint job on the TM Stevens sig?

[waynepunkdude]

Got it back turns out it was the blend pot that was knackered, got it fixed for £25, good times.

[mart]

Good news! How are you liking the sound of the other pickup now that you have the choice?

Ironically I prefer the neck pick up soloed.

Me too, on every bass I've had.

You like it then?

You'll adore a recent German one!

I do really like it but I am absolutely loving the Ibanez 5'er I picked up yesterday.

[mart]

On all the Warwicks I've played I've only liked the middle position - both PUs on full. But that all changed when I got a $$, which has loads of usable sounds.

That's my favourite setting too, on both the Corvette and Fortress.

Checkered paint job on the body!!! Go-on, you know you want too

I do but time and effort as well as stripping out active electrics seems a lot of hassle.

[charic]

Compared to the returns though? Your playing you 'nez at the moment anyway and you'll get to learn about active electronics

Same here for my Fortress and Streamer. However, that's listening solo. In my last band I found my tone slotted into the mix better if I rocked back towards the bridge - 3/4 bridge, 1/4 neck.

[waynepunkdude]

Had a band practice with it yesterday very impressed.

[waynepunkdude]

4 months on and it is my 'go to' bass, find it really easy to play doesn't match the tone of the MusicMan (there is £1K gap in price) but for at home it's amazing.
