Whoah, the Fortress is in need for some beeswax

That's a nice Fortress, Jonah! How do you like the Whammy bar? Can you do some serious diving, or is the tension too high for that?

It works very well, can do 1+ octave drops if I want. Stays in tune perfectly. Highly recommend one.

Can you say GAS!!!!!!!!!

 

[birdxofxprey]

man, this is an awesome collection!

i'm curious, how's the growl on the dirty blonde, like compared to a regular bolt on thumb or a corvette?

 

[bigfiddle]

Love the action etc. but the hum is killing me. Needs stacked HB's. Anyone changed their pups?

 

[kho]

THanks! The dirty blonde is brighter sounding with less growl than the standard Thumb, but with it's pickup configuration it's capable of a huge range of tones. It's probably the most versatile of my Warwicks.

I really like the wood grain in mine - most Thumb BO's seem to have a straight grain. I notice Dickie's Thumb has a similiar thing happening to mine, it's just not as prominent

Please welcome our newest members, rollo47 and idoru! It would seem that the Wick club is strong, even down under.

thumbin,
we need more info about your bass * pant *
is it clearcoated or oiled and polished so well ? a broadneck, right ? where´s the great nut from ?

does it sound as good as it looks ?

cheers,
lowstar

I put about 10 coats of tung oil on it, Polishing between each coat with 0000 steel wool, Followed by 3 or 4 days of using ALOT of linseed oil then I finished it up with a few coats of feed-n-wax - Very glossy

Yep it's a broadneck... VERY wide and flat

I had my father in law make the nut out of aircraft grade brass/alloy - It gives it the tone of a fretted note, It's also modeled after the jan2 as you can see with a few minor changes.

It sounds awesome Very "mudvayneish" I usually have the mids and highs boosted a little with the bass set flat, And it gives me a VERY midrange growl... Sounds awesome for slapbass... With the highs boosted a bit more I can get a very les claypoolish tone, Similar to on the song power mad. I play it through my Ampeg BA115-T... Extremly happy with my bass I dont think I'll ever need another one again!

 

[thumbin]

i'll swap your bass for my soul?


please?

Never!
