warwicks

heyy ppl! about 5 days ago ive been able to play a fretless bass. i started playing bass a few years ago and untill then i didnt quiet knew what the major difference would be all i thought: "well u just cant slap it.." --> wrong! . The sound of a fretlessbass really got me that day and i...

I've been toying with the idea of picking up a fretless for a while now. I was wondering if someone could tell me how Warwick places the side of the neck markers on their unlined and lined fretboards. Is it one marker where every fret would be or something different. Thanks again everyone!

"This model is still available with Standard option through the Custom Shop" Everybody knows about the discontinued basses being available for order via the CS but how exactly does it work? My main concern of course is the price. If I wish to order an Infinity SN TCS would it cost about as...

Hi! I was just getting curious. I saw a member here wanting to sell a warwick, because he said he had gotten an Alembic. I have seen on a site that there was this Alembic for sale. The guy selling it came with the statement that warwicks and other hip-bass builders was just making o.k copies...

Did a quick search and came up blank so here is my question. How many of you have owned...by this i mean not current but over the years had multiple wicks. It seems that every Warwick owner I talk to had a rock bass or a vette or something before finding that bass. So yeah. Own up.

look at the vintage painted basses

So I'm sure we are all familiar with books that offer bass instruction and so forth. Most usually have a photo of a Fender on the cover, with the occasional Ibanez or Music Man... But I always find it comforting when I see a "learn to play bass" type book and see a Warwick on the cover.:d One...

Finally found one! Alex Katunich with Incubus and SSII! Click on the link, not the start arrow. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyfO1-zSd7M"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyfO1-zSd7M

Weird title yes. Well since i have joined, gas has been coming back in 20 foot waves. So, ive really liked streamer lx, and jazzmans. i didnt like the $$ though. So in the future i would really like one of these bass's, but the neck, oh my the neck. It just feels so strange. So i was...

I ordered my RB through Guitar Center about three weeks ago, and was told it would show up by Monday this week. Calling them today I found out that Dana B apparently hasn't shipped anything to them in a while, and they aren't sure where my bass is. Anyone have any ideas when I can expect...

I'm talking year wise. I'm talking p bass thick :D

Hi I've been recently reading views about Warwicks and the current trend towards traditionally shaped guitars in rock bands. Many feel that Warwick is suffering because their range is seen as too "muso" oriented (Metal/Jazz/RnB). I do have some sympathy with this view. Now just this...

Hi I am looking for some bass amplifier equipment for my corvette bas, and I have found some warwick cabinets where the warwick sign is yellow, does this tell anything about the cabinet? And are these cabinets worth buying? Thank you :D

Hi! I currently have a Vampyre SN5 and a Corvette Standard. I have been very satisfied with the both, especially the Vampyre. However, this was until I went into studio. I've always had a problem with the so called "clicking" sound. I've figured that it happens whenever I hit the string just...

Just curious if anyone knows what exactly the reasons are for a Warwick to come out of the factory B-Stock? Is it just minor cosmetic errors or the tone doesn't pass inspection or what? Here is a link to an example.... It's $1000 USD less than a normal Jazzman. Seems like one hell of a...

during the school year i was lucky enough to meet Reggie Hamilton and we got talking, for about an hour, we were talking about basses and i told him i had a warwick, and within a split second he says, i know the guy who makes them and nothing tops fenders, and i was defending warwick it was sort...

Not trying to ruffle any feathers or anything... It seems that there are so many used Wicks being purchased for so cheap, even though they might be in perfect condition, vintage or not. Why is it that Wicks seem to depreciate in value so fast? Is it just that they don't have worldwide name...

If you live in the UK or can get this store to ship International there are some absolutely silly sale prices on new Warwicks! The store is called 'REVERB' - - you can download the sale stock list. There is a JE Ltd Buzzard for less than £1500, SSI @ £799, SSII @ £999, $$ @ £699 and a...

i'm currently own a Warwick Rockbass Streamer 5 and its due time that i need to upgrade to a real wick. Owed a few ESP's basses as well. i surf around in the local bass forums (singapore) and a lot of folks are advising me against purchasing a Warwick. i am planning to get a Warwick Taranis...

oh well, to those fortunate enough to test both basses ... what do you think? and oh, this is a bit OT ... but i have personally come to associate the "sound of warwick" with ovangkol :) ... feel free to discuss why this isn't so - keep the flaming to the minimum though *lol*
