It´s funny, I know it may be just a coincidence, but you don´t like or agree with everything I do. :D Have you notice?

Man you worry too much, just go for it and if you dont like it, sell it to one of us, well buy it.

Plus getting advice on what other people hear form the wood?? you will get the usuall buzz words - it sounds dark, growly, mid range punch, punchy, low, rich, bright, low high ,midrange "poke", down, up, left, right. I could go on forever. You can ask anyone about any bass and everyone would say the same shiit

Just give it a go, i played one of these for about a year and it sounded like a normal warwick bass. It went BOOM when i pluged it in. If you ask me what the characteristics of that BOOM sounded like?? i guess i can say it sounded like a high quality BOOM becuase its from a high quality bass. Don’t spend 2k US on someone else’s interpretation of what a BOOM sounds like based on some random person on the internet saying is has "deep lows, punchy midrange and sparkeling highs".

Although, 2,100 US is a insane price for that, they go for 1500 aus. There is currently one here for that much for sale, id wait out for a better deal or make a reasonable offer.

Wow, BoneZ becomes an expert! Man, 6 Wicks already? So I´m not the only lost case...

Yes ofc, he is 100 per cent right (imo). When I started collecting basses (I didn´t know that, I just wanted to get a Warwick, ONE Warwick!) I listened to endless numbers of vids and records. In the end I got a Stryker and was excited when the package arrived. I had an exactly idea how it would sound like! I plugged it in, played 20 minutes... and was disappointed! Much too clear sound, no growl like I had expected. Like grabbing into a silverware tray! O.K., I learned to control it´s sound, so I realized two things: 1. doesn´t matter how people describe a bass, your personal experience is all that counts, and 2. you won´t get known to a bass just played once in a shop, it takes some time to see how it works under different circumstances.

If the price is o.k. for you: go and get it! The grain is really unique and awesome!

Hardy I’m far from an expert in basses, I know nothing about everything. Astur, now he is an expert!

I do consider myself an expert in detecting bull♣♣♣♣ though, and I won’t let other people sway me by convincing me my bass has “low mid-range bark! and growl! and pokey punch! Bristling sparkling highs!!” and every other word out there in the land of bass description.

Uopt asked for advice on the SN Infinity, Its all opinion and i wantto give my opinion. Some people would tell you Uopt that the infinity SN sucks and sounds like ♣♣♣♣, I’ll say it was wonderful to own and sounded really good and loved every second.

Why did it sound so good to my ears?? Was it the pickups? Body Wood Selection? Pick up Position? My amp? My Pedals? The EQ on my amp? My string choice (n/SS)? The brand of strings i use?? My playing technique? Neck Wood Selection? FB Wood Selection? Brand of Cab i was using? How many speakers was in my cab? the size of the speakers? The brand of carpet the floor of the room was covered in?? Who knows, all I do know - is that it was a high quality bass and sounded wonderful to my ears.

Whether you take my advice or the others, does not matter. Because its going to sound how it sounds to your ears. And as your a picky guy with all of the above, i think its best you try it for yourself and not let other people try and convince you either way.

Anyway my views have already been plastered all over this forum in the past haha so I won’t go there., back on topic, Mad Ant, congrats on your purchase! I’ve been watching that one and its very beautiful.

And Im seriously considering that Zebrano $$, I don’t know if its something I should sit back and see if he drops the price or whether I should jump on it....

One more: it´s all in your fingers!!!

BoneZ, you had how many Wicks did you use in the last time? Ten? At home, at the rehearsal, at gigs. Maybe you and me have no idea about the technical aspects, but we can call us experienced. Why not? Sascha, Florin and some other guys are much more experienced, no question. That´s why we have to get the next one! Heads up!
