Bongolation: Yes I can understand that there can be more duds than none with Rockbasses. The fact is that they're are produced differently with different timbers and under different conditions, compared to their German Counterparts. And pricing.... I paid $944AUS instore; which their normal...

My three basses: Legend Vintage Series Jazz Bass (Changed pick guard - Original was brown tortoise shell pattern + Pickup upgrade). The New Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$ 5. And the Aria Pro II Magna Series MAB 20/5.

Guys, respectfully - please dont turn this thread into a German vs Chinese Warwick slinging contest... As I said previously, I'm on a strict budget and this is the best I could get for the money that I have. I'm happy with it, and thats all that matters to me. I simply wanted to start the...

Replacement Rockbass has arrived, and is perfect. No fret buzzing and feels great to play :D

Basclef112: Thanks for the advice. The supplier has a replacement in transit, which has been in the hands of their tech for the last couple of days to check for any issues relating to humidity and movement. Hopefully it will be here by next Friday. JimiLL: I couldn't afford a German Warwick. I...

Yes they have been helpful so far. Thankfully I have been dealing with a store that knows it's product. It's just a shame that this one had an issue that couldn't be fixed instore. Normally the bass has to be sent back for inspection before a new replacement is issued, but the new one is already...

A couple of days ago, I picked up my brand new Warwick Rockbass $$ 5 (Nirvana Black Oil) from the store, only to get home and find it rattled on every string from the 5th fret upwards. Straight back to the store, in which it seems it wasn't set up properly before it arrived instore, and...

I've got a Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$ 5 on order for $944AUS ($961US). Brand new, and enough to get you started. If you like the Warwicks afterwards, then seek out the German made versions of course. I like Ibanez basses too, but here in Oz they are overpriced for what you get.

Lead vocalist down in the dressing rooms really swearing about stuffing up the 2nd verse.... Sound guy comes in screaming "Shut up!"??? ***?? Wireless Mic was still accidentally on and swearing was coming through the front of house crystal clear, making all the school kids laugh! I...

I'm looking for an upgrade, but I'm in two worlds at the moment. I'd really like a Warwick Xtreme 10.1, but they are getting hard to find. The other affordable option readily available is the Hartke LH1000.... I like the tone but I'm not keen on the idea of tube preamps. I spent several years...

Thanks Alec. Saves me a lot of time (and money)!

I've got a MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter coming my way, but minus any form of power adapter. Can the MXR be daisy chained to a Boss pedal? There is not much clarity on the net apart from the MXR supposedly being 18v power and the Boss being 9v. I'm yet to find anywhere which also tells me...

Thanks Darkstorm. Good info. I think its going to be on the list of first things to look at when I take possession. I looked on the MEC Website and they have a few different models of wiring. I'm just trying to work out the best suitable setup to get it active without drilling extra holes...

I'm in the process of allocating funds to purchase a Warwick Rockbass $$ 5 String. The Double bucks are passive of course, but the sales guy put an idea in my mind about a mod changing it to an active set up... Can this be done with the existing $$'s that come stock, and just change the...

Thanks for the link. Its because I have limited options on the brands that are available here in Australia, due to a massive price markup when they come direct from the states. Like I said in my previous posts, I have enough trouble getting my hands on an MXR to start off with, let alone trying...
