Hello, my name is Benjamin... And I'm a Warwickoholic.
Ever since I saw the first '03 ltd ed. thumb hanging on the wall in the music shop, I was sold. I had never heard of it before. I admired the craftsmanship of it, even though it was Maple, and I'm not that in to maple, I loved it. One of the things that really got me was the inlays. Just fantastic.
The only problem about this bass was it was out of my budget, I was looking for my 2nd bass after spending years on a Squier "Bullet" Bass (It's a P-Bass copy, it's orange =D )
I walked around in the music shop, seing fenders and musicmen, and cheapo basses. I wanted quality, I wanted something I loved, not liked, but loved.
The next week, I see they have taken in 6 new basses, and I go wow. They have that same strange W on that appealing headstock, and you can acctually see it's wood. I picked one up and it growled for me. It found out it was a Warwick. That's what the W stands for, cool. German made, that's promising, I don't want a chinese cheapo. I plugged it in to a amp and it was fantastic, the neck was fast and deliciously wooden, it's just such a joy to touch, I love the feel of ovangkol.
I think I sat there for two hours with the nirvana black, ash corvette. My friend was tired of sitting listening to me playing for half an hour (Forgive him, he plays a guitar
)
I just told him to go get one of the others and try it himself, I wasn't going to give him the one I had.
After playing it for a while, I understood this was the bass I wanted. It was fantastic, even though it had a fret buzz. But I saw the JAN, and I asked an employee for a allen key, and by a little twist in the JAN, it was perfect, more perfect than ever.
That was in december last year, and I've been on these forums ever since. It's nice to talk to such great people, who all share one thing.
Love for a fantastic company with amazing luthiers who really make a difference.
Thank you Warwick, and thank you fellow forumers.
I don't need to sell my soul to the devil, unless his name is Hans Peter Wilfer :twisted:
