Why Doesn't Warwick Make More Passive Basses?

[socialleper]

Probably for the same reason Fender doesn't make more active basses, or basses that look like they were designed in the last 30 years; it ain't their thang.

Warwick can custom build you one if you want or you can mod one. From my stand point I'd rather they focus on getting the models they have out there rather than adding more models you will never see.

For everyone asking about passive Warwick basses - today we unveiled the new Warwick Streamer CV!! 21 frets, passive pickups and passive electronics. Swamp Ash body, Maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. A true Classic Vintage!

Alright! 21 Frets, can;t wait to take this one for a spin at NAMM. The stretch to reach the lower register is one thing that i dont love about 24 frets.

How are you getting into NAMM? Are you a retailer or dealer? I've been trying to figure out at way to get into that thing, but they've got it locked down tight.
