Is this for real?

'Custom' Streamer Jazzman on th 'Bay.

Claims a rosewood neck for it, but I reckon it looks a lot like...ovangkol?

It might be a bit red though....I don't know....is that rosewood? No custom shop plate either.

Any takers?

It's ovankol, with wenge frettboard.

 

[Drexil]

I thought so too!

Hehe....thats more than just a little cheeky....I think someone from Warwick should drop him a line....

Just like when some sellers don't know how to read the serial numbrs of Ltd series? "This is #4!!! of only 141 basses made for 2004!!!" No, it's #141... :roll: ~M~

 

[Vinnie]

I don't blame people for assuming 4/141 means 4 out of 141.

I'd say that could be a rosewood fretboard. Obviously not the neck, but that could just be bad wording.

Nope...I emailled him. Apparently he's just going on what the last seller told him.

 

[Doog]

Huh. Interesting, sounds like the seller doesn't know what he/she has.

I do read on a regular basis that a bass has got a Rosewood neck...................although they mean fretboard............... :?

Me neither... I distinctly remember seeing the Dirty Blonde for the first time and thinking "Wow! #6 of 13!!!" Then I came here, and was educated :lol: . ~M~

in defence of the seller...it does look a lot like rosewood

It's not unheard of to see a Warwick with a rosewood fingerboard.Look at the Infinity NT for example. :wink:

Can I quote you? I just did. And see that older Warwicks had a 1 piece bridge (if this is wrong, I got it here), so differentiate the Rockbass Fortress to me...Ash Body, Maple neck, same MEC electrionics rig as a real Warwick, now a 1 piece bridge and rosewood fretboard are ALL real Warwick stuff.

 

[Grgzilla]

I'm not sure I understand your question.But the difference between RB & Warwick are largely the woods.
