The Official Warwick Club (Part 6)

I'm a fan of brass on any bass, I've had them on all my Warwicks and they're on all of my Spector's and my headless builds… they're not that expensive.
Also have a Spector Dimension NS, always liked the "look" of the brass nuts, but having now heard the tone? I'll probably move that way- I play metal (no hate please!) and anything that helps me get that "piano tone" is definitely worth chasing down. I did look these up earlier tonight on the Warwick site. Anyone know if this model is the 45 or 47mm? Guessing 47 due to it being a 5'er?

Hey all,
Just posted my 97 Streamer LX in the classifieds. It has Delano's, a flame Maple body, full wenge neck, and an EMG BTS. This one is a Swiss army knife. Plays great and sounds even better. Here is a quick peek and the link.
Looks great, wish it was a 5'er.

I've just been enjoying some Jimsaku on a decent stereo. Tetsuo Sakurai really gets a great sound out of that custom Infinity he has. He's always been a guy with great tone though, and what a player and writer he is.

Compare the sound of his Yamaha TRB6 on the first track here to the sound of the Infinity on the second. The Yamaha sounds brighter and more like a super-jazz bass. The second track features the Warwick and has that darker, denser low midrange sound going on. Both are absolutely stunning sounds and as you'll hear on these tracks, both basses feature a very positive and present low B string!

Hey all. I have a question. I just recieved my new to me 2006 Limited edition Dirty Blonde Thumb. I was super excited about it but it was in a bit of a state when I got it. It's definitely seen a lot more miles than it was presented as. My question is, is the preamp supposed to have Haz like grit? It's definitely differant than a Haz pre but there is some grit type distortion to it. Especially when you dig in.. I'm just not sure its supposed to be there. Ive owned 7 or 8 Warwicks now and none have ever had grit. Like I said, there could be something wrong with it. The bass has a broken nut and a lot of blemishes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
