The Tuning Machines
All Warwick basses come standard with high quality, precision tuning machines. These machines do not require any lubrication
or special maintenance to operate properly. The only thing you need to keep in mind when tuning a string is that these machines
work best when they are under tension. This means that when you are tuning to a pitch it is best to start below the desired pitch
and slowly tune up until you get to where you want to be. Never start from a higher pitch and loosen the tuner until you hit the
correct pitch. It will not hold its position as well unless it is set under tension.
The resistance of the machine heads can be adjusted with the screw through the wing.
Stringing the bass
Cut the string around 3 – 4 inches longer than the distance from the string anchor to the axle of the according machine head.
Put the end of the string into the center hole of the axle of the machine head and wind the string starting from the top to the bot-
tom two turns. Put the ballend into the slot of the string anchor and bring the string to tune. Make sure to keep tension on the
string while you are tuning it up, so that the windings around the axle of the machine head stay tight.
The Truss Rod and Easy-Access Truss Rod Plate
When you need to make a truss rod adjustment, you should not have to mess
with a bunch of tiny screws. That is why all Warwick basses since 1996 come
with an easy-access truss rod plate. Located right above the Just-A-Nut, on the
headstock, the truss rod plate can be removed by inserting a 1/8” flat-head
screwdriver into the slot and gently popping off the cover. After you have made
your adjustments simply snap the cover plate back into place.
The Easy Access™ Electronics Compartment
If you turn your Warwick bass over and look at the back, you will see Easy Access™ Electronics Compartment. Following the same
design logic as the truss rod plate, the electronics cover can be removed without having to mess with tiny screws. You do not
even need a screwdriver to remove these plates. Just pull back each inset tab (using your fingernail or even a dime) and gently
lift out the plate. When you are done, the plate easily snaps back into place. Be careful not to break off the tabs on the cover.
