I don't have a 5 string but I recently got the 4 string version. I like the tone and overall feel of the bass. I wish the back was contoured at the neck pocket like the Germans are but it's no big deal. The neck is thin compared to my 07 corvette. The tone seems a bit higher but I think that...

Thanks guys. Now I feel slightly better. I'm still kicking myself over the moment of dumb I was struck with over getting stripping goo on the pickups.

I couldn't get a decent pic but the top p pickup took the worst of it. It's mostly damages to the side. Noting melted through but the plastic is distorted.

And 2 more.

First pic was the before. Second was after. These will be after pics as well.

I don't have any full body before pics. Looks like I didn't take any in my excitement of getting the bass. Another thing I forgot to mention is the strap buttons. The screws started to strip when I was trying to take them off. I forgot to mention, when I got it, the p pickup was pushed all the...

Not quite sure if this is the right forum to post in but I'll ask anyway. Do slightly melted pickups affect tone at all? It's only damage to the outer plastic on the sides and some of the top. I'll explain what I did. Don't judge to harshly. I'm a beginner who had big ambitions. I got...

Hello. I'm a rather new bass player. I've been plucking away on my bass for about 2 and half months. At first I was so concerned about theory and trying to learn as much as I could at once that I wasn't playing much do to frustration. Then I watched a youtube video with a Billy Sheehan that...

Here is a pic if the strap lock hole. Can you tell me if these are the wrong type?

Hello, I got my first warwick last week. A 2002 corvette standard 5 string bubinga. I've always liked the look of these basses but up until about a month an a half ago, I played guitar. The bass is in good condition overall and needed a good wax and new set of strings. One problem that I...

Cool, thanks. I didn't know strings would cause it. The old strings slapped pretty well so they would explain it. I'll remember the hybrids for my next round of strings.

when I try to slap I get more than just the "normal" sound. I get a metallic twang. It sounds like the string is hitting metal or something. After watching A ton of videos, I feel that I'm slapping right. I think it may be in the setup. I'm new when it comes to playing bass and bass setup. I...

Ok, thanks for that. I thought I read somewhere that it was called that, I thought that meant part of it moved but the base would still be fixed to the net. On another note, I keep forgetting to ask about the strap locks. All I have are 2 wholes where something, I'm assuming a the peg that...

And a pick of the saddle and string.

I went to Home Depot and got some Howard's wax-n-feed and then to GC to buy some strings. I got a set of Ernie Ball Reg Slinkys. As I was taking off the new strings, the nut feel off. Looks like the original glue gave out. I super glued it back in place. I polished the crap out of this guitar...
