Ok ok, people here already fed up with my 'shall I get active' threads such as Florin and Eberbachl should kill me for posting this thread, but I promise, this will be the last of it! :lol: This is an age old topic and debate. I am surprised on how divided the opinions are on who prefers...

After being playing for about a year on warwick now i realized today i wouldn't be playing like this if i had been playing another bass. :shock: Yes it is a bold thing to say but i am so happy with my Warwick basses that i want to express my eternal gratitude to Hans Peter Wilfer and his...
