Up until late 80s, maybe even very early 90s warwick basses came with the same kind od electronics cover that just lays on top of the body without any recess at all. And since this bass looks a lot like a warwick streamer/spector NS maybe that cover is indeed original trying to be true to the designs it was inspired from.

Thanks for this. Joe used to drop by my shop about once a year and he was always a source of great stories and info. He knew a lot about the industry. Last time I saw him was at his shop/factory in Lindsay just outside of Peterborough about twenty years ago. He was trying to sell me an older cnc machine that he was using to shape Tele style bodies. The machine was huge and came out of a windowless factory or something. I couldn't fit it into my shop and I was forced to focus on other things at the time and sort of lost touch with him. As a builder, Joe always encouraged my rather unorthodox guitar designs and gave me good advice. I hope he is alive and well. You didn't mention that he imported Korean guitars made to his specs with Lado on the headstock.They were marketed as the Hawk series and were exceptional guitars for the money. I sold quite a few of them when I had my retail store and every now and then one comes through my shop for repair or adjustment.

When I was starting out repairing and setting up bass guitars, a professional tech said as 'rule of thumb' isfbuzz between the 1st fret and the 10th fret' look first at the truss rod. From the 10th to the last fret look at the bridge. That has held true for the last 40+ years. That advice does not always convey to all basses but it is a good starting point. Thanks for the bass video. I think of your channel as video valium when I'm at wit's end.

There's gotta be at least 13 or 14 of us gen x'rs here that might remember the reference. HBO was a household staple of the 80's and 90's for us... NNTN, TKITH, TFTC, The Hitchhiker... The list goes on. And then, how could anyone forget the "Feature Presentation" Intro. It was called Starship or something similar that I cant remember. But whenever I heard that into, I knew I was going to see a decent flick. Anyway, love seeing something a little different with the bass. There isnt a day that goes by where I didn't learn something from watching your very entertaining and informative shows. It caps off my Sunday evenings, making them a tad less depressing.

So why does RIC say their basses are supposed to be set with zero relief? I've seen that everywhere, and my own 4003 works very well with zero to maybe a tiny bit of relief, even when it had old, chewed up frets. The neck is incredibly stable, and I once went about 15 years without needing any changes to the truss rods, bridge height, or intonation, and I play with very low action. Then I went with a different string gauge. Any small change in anything requires compensation, but the playability is so worth it. They are incredibly precise machines. With my super-low action I can't play it in Eb tuning unless I reset everything. It's that sensitive. I just play my Mexi Jazz when the band wants to play Eb tuning. They don't like that though. Non-bassists seem to love Ricks!
