Looks like that might be just toooo much porn. Unfortunately I can't view them d'Averc. Do you think they have been censored. lol

Thnx:p, although the pictures arent high quality so she doesnt look as beautifull as she does in real.

About the strings honestly I don't really know. They came with the bass when I bought her. They lasted 3-4 Months and where pretty good but I couldn't find the same strings so then I replaced them for Ernie Ball's:roll: (I am searching for strings with more growl).

in my opinion, maple warwicks are well fitted with black labels or emps. the last have less zingy top. but my actual favorites are sit rock brights. very good for fingerpicking (smoother than bl - good contact), slap and tapping. easy playing with plec. they have full bass-fundament, support the typical growl (extensive mids) and are a bit less "harch" in the hights.
the stainless version has a good durability, nickel plated very smooth, sweeter and no duff top. if you like that and want to keep the brilliance of the fortress - imho good choose.

talking about sound is difficult - especially in foreign language :(
zappa recognized: talking about music is like dancing about architecture ;)

At the risk of turning this in to a 'which string is best' thread I would go for Dean Markley Blue Steels if you want more growl.

yeah, I'm getting one soon, ordering the piece.

I swear, if Tommy Shannon played a Wick, it would be this shredded baby. it's covered in little dents and dings from being gigged with and abused. it's really cool, in a 'this instrument survived hell' kinda way.

if it didn't, it wouldn't be a fortress. :)

though I must admit, it has a little neck tug (it's not dive, like on an epi t-bird, just a slight pull)

in sunlight it just shines and suddenly, the wood grain is clear as day. it's really cool.

i have a 97 warwick fortress one. fantastic bass but has anyone else got a fortress with a light wood neck? every fortress i've seen seems to have ovangkol/wenge set ups like my streamer but my fortress has got something that looks like honey coloured birdseye maple but knowing warwick is probably an exotic brazilian hardwood. idea's?
