the bass has been in the shop for over 4 months and the guys at the store couldnt get in contact with gibson to get a part. they were really helpful but i knew who i really should have turned to...talkbass :). i'm not really looking to get the exact same part, due to not being able to get a...

surely you can simply measure on screen using a protractor? even type warwick into google and select hi-res images

eeew i bought one when i was 15. bad choice, its not really a bass you are making, but a shape. even try a common shape like a p-bass?

ufft, yes? and jeff schmidts debut came out about 6 months ago, trust me... this man play the most fluent and amazing bass ever, you need to listen i guarentee you've herad nothing like it! :hyper:

i am very interested to here anymore info/feedback on this, as i have plans to add some j pickups into my project. have the oppertunity to go conventional or not x
