warwick thumb set up?

[Dug2]

i had my thumb bass set up at gc about 2 1/2 months ago. i was pretty pleased with the dudes work and the action was better. it seems as of late that its back to where the action was before? is this something thats common to sum basses? im thinkin about having the set up done again, as i do not know wat im doin with adjustments myself. any thoughts on this? thanks guys/gals

With changes in the temperature and humidity as seasons change, the truss rod sometimes needs adjusting. I'd recommend learning how to set up your bass yourself, adjusting the action, trussrod, and intonation is really quite simple and just takes a little practice.

i would love to learn how! where on the web can i go for such info? youtube?

[brendanbassist]

Probably. I'm sure there is some useful information somewhere in the stickies as well. I learned when I worked at a music store, so I don't have any good links for you, but I'm sure some other folks will chime in.

Should be in your Warwick user manual, or you can find the info online.

Here ya go.....he is Lakland's head luthier, Carl Pedigo and is in Chicago:

Part 1 of 2
Lakland Bass Setup With Carl Pedigo (Part 1 of 2) - YouTube

Part 2:
Lakland Bass Setup With Carl Pedigo (Part 2 of 2) - YouTube

And the PDF file is Jerzy Drozd Ultimate Guide:

Carl Pedigo is: carl@chicagobassdoctor.com

Since u r in Chicago, you have the option of having Carl do setups for you.

Trust me though, you want to learn how to do this yourself.

Some Warwick uniqueness: two piece bridge and the just-a-nut nut adjustment. Go to the Warwic site and download their generic manual for reference on those.

Awesome videos on the Warwick site.....I gave up looking there a long time ago so these have shown up since my last visit looking! Very nicely done.

The part that is especially great is that they've got instructions for the unique Warwick parts (bridge and nut).

Thanks for the link, 'nilla!
