fortress

I must admit, an 8 string is not on my top priority list although I love the crunch of a good 8 string. I've spotted a 8 stringed fortress in a shop and was wondering about its rarity. Are there any users here ? because even the "discontinued basses "page from warwick only discusses the 4 and 5...

Does anyone know if the CS still offer the Fortress MM? I saw one in the forums that I would love, but I can't get the owner to sell it!

New guy here with a question. I have a 1993 Fortress One and I wondered if there is a way to tell if it has the aluminum truss rod? Would the serial# be any indicator? It has never given me any trouble but I may be selling it and the interested party does not want it if it has the aluminum...

the buy it now is only $600! if i wanted a 4 string i would be ALL over this. it looks like it could use a cleaning and a new coat of wax... but i thought i'd let you all know because it just hit and it'll be gone quicky. happy bidding... and if anyone wants to give me a 5 string corvette...

Hello I'm a new member of this forum. I've been playing for one year on a 1995 WW fortress one (P/J). Some days ago i found a Fortress one Limited Edition 1994 with ebony fingerboard to sell. Since the seller can't provide any soundclip, I came to ask some specifications because I have...

I like it...

Anybody played one? They look very cool indeed, but I've no idea how they sound. On another topic, is there such a thing as a Warwick registry? I.e. a database of Warwicks, serial numbers, woods used, electronics etc. I've got a G&L Legacy and there's a website in the States that has such...

Just a few of my ugly mutt and my beautiful bass with the band. How the band sounds.. not me playing though.. the guy that is playing can take my job any day hah, Just a monster player in my eyes. Its also Lex's old gig too..

I've sure had a time of it trying to find some info on the Fortress R&B... If someone here could share a little knowledge about this bass - I'd sure appreciate it... Obligatory pics Noob here but pretty active at Talk Bass as "atrapp" TIA for the help! my gear... for those that...

I'm fairly new to this forum and a couple of you have mentioned I should post some pics so here I go. These are some shots that turned out quite nice of a show that I played in Calgary Alberta Canada about a year ago (Calgary is my home). Now you'll notice that, yes, there is an accordion (I...

Hello, I´m new to this forum. My name is Zoltan. I´m from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Last week I bought via an eBay-shop in Germany a nice Warwick 4 string bass. The seller said it´s a Fortress Masterman from 1995. I was very surprised when I yesterday opened the box. The trussrod...

Just thought I'd share this with you. In '98 I bought this Fortress Custom, had EMGs (3-band EQ, 18 volts) and a Kahler trem installed at the Warwick factory. It's a Masterman, Ovangkol body and Wenge neck. Black hardware instead of gold. Huge soung, very easy to play. Had to save all my...

Not a great close-up pic, but it's all I have at the moment. I'll add some others when I can. Venue: Ponds Forge in Sheffield

i love both of the designs on the basses but i can't make up my mind on which one i should but i do like a nice bottom tone and i know the bodies of the basses are different i like metal,rock,jazz so which one should i choose someone help! lol ?????? :D

I bought my RB Fortress about 2 years ago, and I love the way it plays. I've been thinking that some better pickups and maybe new electronics would make the sound even better. I have researched Nordstrand, Basslines, Bartolini, and EMG. They all sound like good choices and would probably...

found this -IMHO gruesomely mutilated- fortress flashback on 2nd hand do you feel we should send this fellow a friendly message that maybe he has to limit his sculpting talents to lets say Stagg or Rockson instruments ?

i sure hope so!
