Warwick neck screws & jack socket

[prowla]

I've got a Warwick RB 5-string bass body and neck for a project...

My first task is to find some screws to attach them together.

Now, Warwick do sell them, but the postage is more than the parts and I really need to keep to a sensible budget since it's an RB.

Any ideas where to get Warwick parts in the UK?

ive got some old neck screws from a Warwick that you are welcome to have but they need the bushings which Im sure I dont have sadly. did you get any bushings with the neck or the body?

they look like this:

Thanks very much - PM'd.

The body had 2 bushings and was missing two.

Yes, I checked them on the Warwick site, but the postage is £10, which is more than the items and the budget is tight on rebuilding an RB...

Oh. I had those and I could mailed them to you but I clean all my spare parts I didn't use.... You don't necessary have to look for Warwick parts....

Thanks - the bass now has its neck attached.

And a set of (old) strings on it.

Next step is some pickups.

This is it and its pals.

Great - out of ignorance, what does "the smaller R5 JTS socket" mean?

I think it's JST, R5 is the connector size.

JST, I have no idea… Jack Socket Tube?

 

edit: JST is a brand of connector. Stands originally for Japan Solderless Terminal.

So the smaller R5 connector has 2mm centers for the pins, I bought it by mistake, I needed the R4 with 2.5mm centers.

I suppose it will all depend on which preamp you choose to install.

Thanks for the info - so it’s the same fit barrel socket with just a different connector on the other end.

Yes

You still can cut the connector and weld (or "solder", honestly I don't know) the wires
