Czekli Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Hello bass brothers, I broke a string on my Warwick corvette on Saturday at a gig and went straight to my backup bass. I didn't realise til I got home that I had lost the small black saddle for it at the time. Does anyone have a spare they could help me out with please? Struggling to find any UK stock.... Quote
bass_dinger Posted March 3 Posted March 3 (edited) I had the same problem - a missing saddle, from the B string. My luthier suggested that I could buy one from ebay (link below), and, as @verb says, there are different sizes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325082459218?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MTGobot6TTu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=N6aXlrGTR5O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Perhaps sit the replacement saddle on a blob of blue-tak, to keep it from dropping out? Edit: I too struggled to find a UK stockist, and could only find a Germany-based eBay seller. Edited March 3 by bass_dinger Quote
Czekli Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Thanks for the messages but I escalated it to Warwick directly. Their UK importer found me stock at bass direct luckily. The contact Mark was super helpful and sent me the pack of 2 narrow slot saddles without the crazy shipping charges from Germany. Would recommend bass direct as first point of contact for any Warwick related assistance. 🙂 2 Quote

IIRC I got a set from Thomann and got free shipping because I ordered other stuff. I'll fail away your bass direct solution though. Quote
