    1998 Warwick Corvette -truss rod

    A bad thing has happened ! I came home from vacation and grabbed my 98 Corvette of the wall hanger. After a little playing , I noticed the strings felt quite high and the neck had a lot of back bow. Strange ! . So I got out the 5mm allen , and sure enough the truss rod nut rotates lightly , and...

    Genz Benz 210T Cab (6.0 Shuttle) Question

    I'm new kind of to bass ,and want to step up from the Ampeg HP 115 combo I am using. I think my bass sounds better on my Laney LC 50 (guitar) tube amp , but I'm afraid of blowing the speaker. Since I have a few Great tube amps , would a 210T cab work with these - Marshall ,Fender, Vox ? I...

    1987 Spector NS 2a truss rod

    I asked about this over at the < Spector Club > , but I'll continue here. The TR nut on a NS 2a I'm looking at is badly worn . I haven't seen any good photos of a "good" nut , but have seen some threads discussing bad Spector "nuts" on this model. As I gather , a flat or philips head screw...

    Fretless 4 - Rattling A note on the E string

    My bass rattles a little when playing an A note on the E string (unplugged). No rattling on A flat or sharp -or anywhere else on the board or other strings. In theory, I suspect board could have a depresjon there , But I can not feel or see any unevenness at that spot. The bass is a 2009 Warwick...
