    Can a Warwick sound like a Jazz?

    I love the feel, ergonomics and playability of my Streamer Std II (German built Warwick not RockBass) and it's easily the most comfortable bass I've ever played on. It feels like it was custom built for me and the big pups allow for lots of different thumb anchoring points. The problem is...

    Twin Jazz

    Is a twin Jazz just two jazz pickups on one casing? If you had a bass with two TJs, could you make it sound exactly like a bass with two jazz pickups by splitting them? Can you split a TJ pickup?

    Jazz pickups in Soapbar shell?

    See topic. I'm thinking about saving up for the custom Stage 1 with Stage 2 woods in the classifieds. As with all Warwicks, most of the sound is in the woods. However, in the case of the Stage 2, I'd say the jazz-style pickups are a big part too, as well as the "hidden" NT construction. I...

    Bass for Blues, Rock and Jazz
