"entry level" Nobby, anyone interested?

[ThirdthumB]

It's amazing to think that it could become a popular model: the revival of the headless bass ?? 8)

i was hoping it would sell for around 800, depending on electronics...

With the new pricing, I really dought it will be less than $1200...

The thing that initially drew me to Warwick was the awesome Warwick headstock, so NO, I dont want a Nobby, ive never been a fan of headless basses :?

So, the basic nobby "standard" would be something like this:



And Mike, that's perfectly fine, you have every right to not be a fan of headlesses, nothing wrong with that...

An new entry-level Nobby would just mean that at the "basic" level there would be two possibilities: the corvette and the nobby:

Hey Jan, ..lol sorry that last post is a bit tongue in cheek!
Yeah im not a fan of the ole headlesses, so if i dont want one nobody should have one, in fact they should scrap the new nobby too..lol Just kidding, obviously!
Yeah, I voted no in the pole because i wouldnt buy one, but obviously
if people want to buy headless basses then it would be cool to see them
choose a Warwick. In fact, I think an entry level Nobby might even bolster the appeal of the current Nobby re-issue. Theres probably a small number of Nobby enthusiasts at the moment, but if there was an entry level version like the corvette, then i think fans would crave a NT version eventually :wink:
Id love to see it done with the 2 piece Warwick bridge though, but maybe thats not possible!..lol

i don't dig it anymore, atleast with chrome...PUT THE BLACK BACK ON! :twisted: anywase, the ash corvette has black hardware!

 

[JanVanHove]

Nope, sorry andrew, both the ash and bubinga corvette standard have chrome hardware as standard... black is an option...

Nope, sorry andrew, both the ash and bubinga corvette standard have chrome hardware as standard... black is an option...

All for the sake of tradition (and cost). 8)

 

[Andrew O]

not here they don't....all the ash corvettes in the US have black hardware...

 

[Kris]

On the Warwick site they have chrome and as far as I remember from the customshop pricelist, it's an option

 

[Ian]

not here they don't....all the ash corvettes in the US have black hardware...

Maybe the guys at Dana B. Goods just found this cool to order them all with black hardware, who knows...

 

[Hanzo]

I have to agree with Andrew on this one guys, however I love the chrome on the mockup! The ash BO Nobby is doin' it for me! 8)

 

[JanVanHove]

I have to say that I do prefer the bubinga over the ash...
