Most metal bass ever! (Warwick content)

So Warwick updated their site with some new rockbasses and this came up.




So yeah I'm sold, as well as this there's a upright and a dark lord now in the rockbass lineup.

Cheers, Sam

Gotta admit they did a pretty good job w that one there. How many companies can turn their logo into a bass without it looking completely ridiculous. I'm a fan.

How much does something like that go for? Surprised that it's a rockbass.

More than "for metal" (the Rob Trujillo's sober at least) for kitsch bands...

Rammstein, Lordi, Gwar... maybe even for Muse

"I'm too old for this..."

I always thought metal was a matter of manly fury power and speed, not kitsch, but I must often be definitely wrong

Cheers,
Wallace

It's a W.
To be "Most Metal", it needs to be turned around.
Metal starts with M.

Wow, wonder how comfortable it really is to play that, however most should never have a problem identifying the manufacturer of that one

Well, it could be Wetal. Or maybe Weath Metal, perhaps?

I think you've got it figures, looks like that's exactly the point of the bass.

Is Framus gonna have a new guitar shaped like the letter "F"? Quite a few uses for that. Haha!

Unless your band name starts with "W" that would be a completley waste of money IMO, of course

Dude! You're the target audience of this bass! Your name is Wallace; this bass would be the ultimate self-promotion.
