GMR is partnered with Warwick?

Could it be that they are only selling parts to them, just as another dealer? Guess that Warwick is not involved at all in the production. But just in favour of the bass, the long upper horn probably ease the balance problems up a bit...

There is no active partnership between Warwick and GMR Basses. GMR is known to purchase MEC products to use on their basses and they also purchase hardware from us. Warwick does not contribute to the construction or design of this instrument in any level.
 
I was also going to inquire about this. Thanks for the info...
 
I noticed the Gibson Les Paul basses appear to have warwick bridges on them....
 
Les Pauls are great looking as guitars but as basses... :?

I have to agree with you mats, Les Paul is my favorite single-cut guitar design, but as a bass, I don't like it at all.
 
Anarchy, you beat me to it, they put Warwick Bridges on their Les Paul basses, but not the Les Paul Studio basses.
 
gotcha! haha nah i was on their site checking out the les paul double cutaway bass...

i agree, they all look much better as guitars....
 
Guitars and basses to me are totally different instruments so it always p****s me off when guitar manufactorers just the guitar designs on their basses. its like the companies put their effort into the guitars and cant be bothered with the basses

Yeh... lacks a bit of imagination! IMO bass-makers seem to be more imaginative than guitar-makers... seem to get much wilder designs. Guitar players are supposed to be quite conservative... you don't get many active electronics and most designs seem to follow the Fender/Gibson design...
 
It seems like we bass players are much more open-minded than guitar players.

Guitar players I know traditionally usually play either a Stratocaster or a Les Paul through a Fender or Marshall amp, and not much else.

Most bass players I know are interested in trying just about anything to improve their sound.

Maybe this is why companies like Fender & Gibson who are primarily guitar manufacturers don't stray too far from basses they designed back in the '50's or '50's like the P-Bass, J-Bass, Thunderbird & Les Paul bass.
