The Official Warwick Club (Part 6)

Thank you for the advice fellas! Going to try going Jaco next rehearsal with my J pickup and plucking by the bridge. Would love to get some sort of rail between the pickups. I've got access to a variety of EQ pedals so no need for any new gadgets right now. That NE-1 looks dope though.

I'll try to get some time for having a sexy photo shoot with this beauty.

Try raising the pickup under the low string so it's higher than the G string.

had it been misspelled 3 times, but the same way...I wouldn't have thought anything. But I have never seen something misspelled 3 different ways at 1 time.

 

[Reedt2000]

I'm a crap speller so I looked right past all 3

I just like an opportunity to post a meme

 

[Bartrinsic]

this made me chuckle...i don't think i have ever seen a word misspelled 3 different times and 3 different ways in a single paragraph. Congrats!

I have an Infinity NT, when I first got it, I found it great to play sitting down but a struggle live. Coming from Fender and Lakland basses, this seemed such a stretch, it also had slight neck dive. I puchased a wide strap, Dunlop strap locks (it extended the horn 10mm easing neck dive) and purservered for the last 6 months. It is such an amazing souding bass, it made me persevere.
End result, when ever I play my other basses now they seem cramped and awkward, glad I persurvered.

Looks to me like @scallster has a 333 batting average since persevere is spelled and used correctly. Also, 'pursevered' could be an excellent new word with a good definition, such as 'even though I was running out of money, I pursevered, buying straps and locks until the balance finally improved'. @schallster, don't let your creativity be stifled!

Having the drive to obsess about every detail around how we communicate musically, yet disregarding the quality of written communication we create seems weird to me. For me at least, it all comes from the same place.

That's why I'm using Grammarly right now. But, I have relaxed expectations for informal communications like forums--I'm prone to certain typos myself when working fast. Everyone has a different tolerance--at some point, sloppy text can get hard for anyone to read; that tends to happen faster with functionally bad grammar. Most typos can be read over without much fuss. This site seems to welcome a lot of English as a 2nd language musicians--I wouldn't dissuade them from using whatever English they have.

You know how they say "pick your battles"? You picked well, don't look back.

You certainly know how to spec out a stunning bass - and Warwick certainly knows how to execute it!

wowzers!! Congrats! It’s so weird to see a Warwick with fret markers, never mind inlays.

Made some QR stickers at work today for the back of my Warwick’s control cavity covers in case, god forbid, a theft ever occurs. Light bulb moment when I had the idea

Ok, but I'm telling my friends it was my idea! By way of compensation, maybe stick it in a pickup cavity: not hard to get to but much less likely to be peeled out by the new 'owner'.

I was actually thinking about that. Like maybe on one of the walls of the inside so it's not so obvious. But not sure a thief would give the instrument a once over rather just sand the serial number off and try to make a quick buck. Not even sure a thief who's not a musician would understand how to get the back control cover off at first glance LOL. Or even know what it is for that matter.
