Never had an issue before, thinking its the pickup. If I pull the battery off the circuit, it makes sound, but not getting anything other than that. It's an 97 FNA 5 string, still the original pickup. Sounded great when I used it last (about 3 weeks ago) but again, nothing now. Haven't bumped it or anything, and I changed the battery out as well (of course).

we now have a solid 45 mins set of approx 12 songs.
i'm massively excited and nervous about this, as i havent been on stage or played live for at least 16years.
This will be the first time i have played the warwick in a gig condition.
i have instructed my wife to take photos as i want to preserve this moment. ]]> beany2510 http://forum.warwick.de/showthread.php/18465-first-gig-for-17years <![CDATA[MEC Warwick Bass Active Pick-ups P & J]]> http://forum.warwick.de/showthread.php/18463-MEC-Warwick-Bass-Active-Pick-ups-P-amp-J?goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 20:43:58 GMT I have an MEC Warwick bass active Jazz pick-up (J, bridge pick-up) in perfect working condition, for sale.

And a set of MEC Warwick bass active Precision (P) pick-ups for sale (also in perfect working condition. These were recently professionally removed from my 2004 Warwick Streamer Stage I bass (4-string) - part numbers M 60201 (also known as M 60201L) & M 60200 - & are high quality active pick-ups from Warwick's made-in-Germany basses - as used in their Streamer Stage I, II and LX basses (at least), perhaps also other basses of theirs. They both retain all their external wiring in as-new condition.

Mainly from the E & A strings occasionally vibrating against it, the Jazz pick-up has a few string marks on the top of the casing (shown in the pictures) which is completely cosmetic – the pick-up functions perfectly. It even still faintly shows the official MEC logo on the casing as per the pictures. The Precision pick-ups show an ever so slight smoothing of the patina on the top of the casing - hardly even a cosmetic blemish - & both function perfectly.

They come with 8 (total) brand new original Warwick pick-up screws for installing the pick-ups on your bass. All in the original MEC packaging & padding as shown too.

Located in London, I'm looking for £115 for the Jazz pick-up & £125 for the Precision pick-ups. Will post. Payment via either, bank transfer (in the UK), Paypal (international), or cash on 'pick-up'.

I've been working on something with Simon Qwerty so we decided to post a preview of our work in progress since it got a shape:

http://soundcloud.com/bassmenos/say-it-right/s-WSngI

So far it goes like this:

I got the bass work done and the arrangement.
Simon took care of guitars,synths,arrangements and mixing(yes he did all these! talented guy).
My sis is on vocals ;)

We will change the vocals and the guitars since they are temporary guides for the track in order to get an audible form.

Hope you enjoy and let us hear what you think

I recently blown my HF horn on my WCA+411 pro 04 ohm and the cab is still in warranty.:x

The problem is that the dealer here in Portugal says that the warranty doesn't cover the speakers, so I´ll have to pay for a new one.
As far as I can tell it's easy to replace a HF horn since I did it once on my Ampeg 410 HLF but I have a couple of questions:

1- Can I change only the HF horn diaphragm, and if yes, what is the model of the horn
2 -Can I install the horn like the Ampeg one ( without soldering )

I would appreciate if someone could share the cabinet's user's guide since I can't find it on the current Warwick Home page.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Since the reply for my Stage II issue was so fast, maybe I can get a hand with this one...

I have a 1992 Thumb NT5 with Bartolini pickups and an unknown preamp - check the pic under and help me identify it ;)

IMG_20130520_204630.jpg

I have never been completely happy with the sound of this bass during the ownership - I love the feel, I love how it sounds unplugged but I find the plugged sound lacks output/power, is very nasal and middly (but then again, all Thumbs are...) and lacks deeper low punch and brighter highs.

Supposedly, the Bartolini pickups should be paired with the Bartolini pre, but I have no idea what is in the bass now and I have been thinking of replacing the electronics to get a sound more in line with my Stage II.

Any ideas on how to go about this? Is it enough to replace only the pre? Only the pickups? Both? Which replacement(s) to get that would be fairly easy to "drop-in" without big mods, namely, keeping the same pots/pot arrangement.

But my number 0 question really is... what Pre is this?? Either way, i think it is crap - the output is amazingly low, both in passive and active mode.

I'm really hoping for some advice and good news here.

I have a 23 year old Thumb NT 5 string, and my luthier showed me today that the truss rod head is broken/halfed (this is between his setup and his previous setup end of March). He showed me the top of the truss rod (I'm not that technical with regards to repairs, which is why I pay him to take care of my beauty) and it seems halved. Does this happen with time? What are the odds of a metal piece just giving in?

He tells me that I need to either 1) take off the fretboard and replace the rod or 2) replace the neck and the rod.

Both of these sound rather extreme to me. Any advice welcome, as I'd like things in perfect order soon.

I am travelling to Germany in 4 weeks, so if I have to swing by a factory for repair I'll surely rather do that.

Using an empress compressor, every other string is registering a similar level when viewing input gain LEDS. D string lights up 2 or 3 less LEDs, and is audibly quieter.

So it's not the string, string heights are all consistent too. No other set up issues....

this is a very hard decision, long time of reflection, but I need a five string bass,in the last times I mostly play five string bass, so.. I need a Stage II 5 strings :D but unfortunately findin' a vintage (pre 90's) one is very hard.
This beauty is in perfect condition for its age, all original from 1987, I'm the second owner and I sell it only on this forum.
This bass is for sale with a Gator light flightcase, schaller straplocks and a comfortable strap :)

Price is 2000 euro shipped worldwide, 1950 in EU.

P.S. Please don't ask me if I am sure or not, 'cos it's impossible being sure of selling a bass like this :| but first or after, I'll buy a 5er for sure. Maybe here :D
