Would Custom Shop make a, say, Streamer Stage I with no electronics, no pickup cavities, no pot holes - just electronics compartment and output jack?
 
Hmmm... What's the aim ?


Would you throw a piezo in ?
 
Here's a pic of Anthony Jackson's. I like the look. I'm not sure if would work for a Wick though. It might be really cool though.



Hmmm... mockup?
 
Here's what a SS1 would look like with out the pups and elecs.
 
I kinda like the way it looks with out elec. but I would still need the pups there for sure.

No.Because they dont sell incomplete basses that you can finish yourself.There's one main reason for this,& that's coz such a bass wouldnt be a Warwick.It'd potentially harm Warwick's reputation because people would see what they thought was a Warwick bass,but might well sound terrible,resulting in the wrong impression being given.
How many of us here have went out & bought a Warwick after seeing & hearing one played live?
Warwick put out a consistent product of high quality that is evident throughout the entire range.To stray from that would be downright silly.
 
Oh... I though Shoewreck was asking for a bass that had a pickup that was
wired directly to the output jack. I didn't even realize that he could have
been asking for a body template. Yeah that wouldn't happen. No way!

Yes, and IIRC Warwick doesn't put piezo without a MEC pre, that means the bass would have pots.

Why are they then use MEC electronics in their basses?

MEC originated from within the Warwick factory,by Mr.Vlado Hansal.They are propretary to Warwick.But you can choose Bartolini & Seymour Duncan for your electronics instead of MEC if you like.
 
Weird like the first time you saw a girl in a bikini or weird like the first time you saw your mom in a bikini?
