Make sure you pack it well. But before you do, what does actually need to be done?

There's a comment about the truss rod. What's that about?

Also, are you looking to change the colour or something?

[roonjuice]

the nut on the truss rod is slightly stripped but servicable, thats all i said, they asked for some photos and they sent back the quote as u see it!!!
£500+pp for a setup etc! wowsers!!!!

[Grangur]

Yep, depending on the model you have that could make it cheaper to buy a new (used) bass!
Have you asked Warwick if they will sell you the parts?

Most of that cost is, '[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=2]RE 00031 Comp.grind off and revise OF bod[/size][/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=2]y'[/size][/font][/color] what is that all about? I don't think the truss rod replacement cost is that bad if it is done at the factory and carries a manufacturers warranty (fingerboard removal and if there is a problem then that is tough as they have 'quoted' you a price whereas some local repairer might then bump the cost). Saying that if it is a knackered nut then that cost regardless of body work is just silly!

I was curious about that too. If it's about getting off the Oil Finish for a change of finish, then it's a time consuming job, but it doesn't entail what I'd call "grinding". When I've removed the OF it mostly involves washing and sanding.
