well i just logged in again after 3 years went by. i see there is still a bit of buzz around this document. maybe we can now really work out the errors and stuff. is should be able to do some work to it. could google doc be a way of sharing reviewed versions of the document so all interested exports can contribute to the book.
How we should do it? Like a forum's wiki, or real wikipedia?
I agree with sygma. There is lots of Warwick knowledge here. Wikis are the best way to document knowledge currently on the internet.
I see what you did there.
I can imagine pages for the Wicki: One page per production model, current and discontinued. Also one page per year, and any model introductions and developments, general events to cross reference the production models.
One thing that would be very cool is having a nice timeline of the most important production models, when they were started and if they have been discontinued (or re-introduced), the time that this happened. Something like this:

It should be a great overview.
Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
Is Wikia good to use these days? I've usually seen it as pretty cluttered with ads.
Great stuff. I'll expand further in my reply to cygma
I'm not sure. I hastily registered it yesterday as this topic was happening. It may not be. I'm so busy at work right now with our office move, but I will explore any options for a better wiki. They may even have a pay version without ads.
At the least, it can be a place to begin putting the information. If it makes sense to register elsewhere, or even privately host the info, I can handle that.
As soon as i get a few minutes, I'll get that wiki set up. I haven't done much to it yet.
Great idea, cygma.
Wow!! What an awesome document. Has anyone verified it's accuracy by any chance? I would think the long time hardcore Warwick fans would point out any glaring flaws. Hopefully.
Thanks for the great link Jester!
Yes, there is a 1994 Thumb BO on Ebay with the Walnut body. According to the Doc this is not common knowledge...
Thumb Bolton 1994-95(page 31)
The neck is usually screwed in Wenge (losing 2 frets from the neck through version), the body is made of walnut, a wood rarely used at Warwick, this fact remains unpublished.
Great pictures. It's nice to look at one of those basses and wonder if it's the one you bought years later.
Early Streamers are so beautiful.
