Parts for Warwick basses

[peteb]

I vaguely remember that someone here once posted a link for a site that supplies genuine parts for Warwick basses

I don’t suppose that anyone still has the link??

Can't you just contact a Warwick dealer in the UK?

I'm pretty sure you can buy parts direct from Wariwck (but I can imagine them being a bit more pricey than from a retailer).

I've posted the address for the Warwick forum - lots of knowledge there and it is part of the Warwick website:

I'm sure that I've seen a UK site that sells Warwick parts

Does anyone know who the UK distributor is these days?

I would just go direct to the warwick shop if you need anything. I ordered parts from them for a streamer and they were amazingly quick and a joy to deal with. They got loads of pats to me from Germany quicker than any uk company i have dealt with.

Why not use Warwick directly through their site? When I've made orders they've had everything I've needed in stock & have been fast to deliver. They answer any queries pretty fast as well.

You can buy many Warwick parts directly from them:

Some items are very well-priced (e.g. tuning pegs, knobs), but postage is about 10 euros, so it's expensive if you're only buying a couple of small things. Some of their electronics are unbelievably expensive.

Failing that, yes, you could contact a dealer in the UK. But the only one left, according to the W website, is Bass Merchant.

Personally, I'd also check Thomann, and some of the other German music shops, or just try a general google search for the part you're looking for.

I've used the bass merchant to replace a nut for me. They have a bloke who comes in to do that sort of stuff once a week (think it was on a thursday IIRC), sensible price so got them to fit it for me too.

I tried the Warwick forum for 1989 Thumb strap lok set.
They didn't have them with the hex bolt attachment and fitted to recessed hole on bass.
Tried contacting Warwick and no reply.
Tried BC but didn't really get anywhere either so gave up the ghost and bought a Sure-Lock retro set for my leather strap and can use with existing thumb buttons.
Job done.

Does the Bass Centre still do Warwicks / repairs ?

Good luck with your search.

Cheers
Dave
