Linus27 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerfridge Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 And if not the Gallery, check out the Bass Merchant in Essex (kinda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced a broken JANII with a JANIII, very easy, 5 minute job if you're taking your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've been to the Bass Centre for it (nut issue on a Warwick) before, people badmouth them but I found them knowledgeable, helpful and fairly priced. Glad you've got it sorted though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they charge you to sort your Warwick nut? [/quote] Yep, and yes they did. It needed a new one as the old one had snapped during a string change (ugh).
