Got myself a used Warrior Signature 5 some days ago. Sweet bass! I haven't been a great EMG-pickup fan, but in this bass it works really nicely! ... Still little tempted to try Bartolini someday... 
Oh, but there was one thing i couldnt understand. You cant see on the pictures but there was glue dripping out from the fretboard inlays and there was some sloppy install job there too. Otherwise everything works great! I just cant understand how basses with this high prise tags can afford to rookie mistakes like that. Fortunately I am a little "handy-man" myself, so i fixed that fretboard.

Any suggestions on where to pick up an allen wrench for the truss rod. I just picked up a used fiver and all my wrenches are too long to fit into the opening!
Very nice!
You know, I'm only a few miles away from the shop. Maybe I should drop by and give it a once over for you...
You know, just to make sure it's up to snuff...

Done...
Oh wow!
That one turned out really nice!
You have to post some soundclips when you get it!
That looks great congrats. I really like the contrast of the wenge fingerboard with the lighter top.
Can I call dibs for first shot when / if you decide to sell this one. I'll start saving now just in case.

I had that problem with a Roscoe once. They suggested grinding down a normal allen wrench. You could always give JD a call @ Warrior, but I'm not sure what the odds of you getting anywhere with that would be..
Very true, and actually, I find a dremel cutting wheel to be a lot easier and faster than grinding all the metal down.I had that problem with a Roscoe once.

Chris,
Just remember to quench it regularly so you don't ruin the temper in the allen key. And if it's the same size as mine, it takes a 1/8" key.
OK, I felt like it was time to show off some of the basses featured in this thread. Call it the Christmas spirit to give . . . pictures of beautiful basses.
Of course, I'm starting with mine!!!!!

Man, I've had a lot of these! I've still owned more Zon's than anything else, but the Warriors are catching up.
My gorgeous quilted 7 string, the 5th one from the end in the above thread, is for sale or trade btw,...just in case someones wanting a nice last minute Christmas present!
Glad to see mine made it in the pic spread. Its the redburst with the red and white fretboard inlays.
