Paint it yellow and point the headstock towards the floor: McBass.

As a bass, that looks completely ridiculous me thinks...it's a playable logo though, so possibly a fun idea for tradeshows and such.

Yes, we've got quite a few new products for 2013 - including the W bass! The Triumph Lite and Dark Lord Rockbasses as you mentioned, as well as a Rockbass Star Bass and also the TB-inspired Rockbass Corvette 32" medium scale 5 string! Thanks!

Just when ya think GAS is a done deal.

Joe Nerve - The Triumph Lite will be available soon...we are making its formal debut at NAMM. Exciting, for sure! Please let me know if you've got any questions or need assistance in any way. Thanks!

MeLikeDaLowNote · #26 01-15-2013, 09:54 AM

That thing has got to be for promotional purposes only. They can't honestly expect to sell one.

I had to go look up the Rockbass Triumph Lite after reading about it. I think it looks pretty cool! Here's the pic...

EUB at Rockbass prices. I believe this is a win for bassists everywhere.

I'd like to know roughly what it will cost?

Joe Nerve - The US Pricelist hasn't been updated, but the German pricelist can be found here: http://www.warwick.de/media/prices/Rockbass_D_A.pdf

Thanks again!

TolerancEJ · #31 01-15-2013, 10:44 AM

Those prices appear to be the MSRP, not necessarily the street price.

WarwickOfficial · #32 01-15-2013, 10:46 AM

Yes, thats correct....usually you can expect street to be +/- 35% - 40% less. Thanks!

Get a left handed one and string it the right way.

IngerAlb · #34 01-15-2013, 01:43 PM

Uhmm...so this is actually for real, not Photoshop?

You expect ppl to spend their own money to become human billboards? You guys at W have a kinky sense of humor these days

darkstorm · #35 01-15-2013, 02:12 PM

The most disapointing looking bass warwick has made imo. Ok for silly promo peice at tradeshows but thats it imo.

WarwickOfficial · #36 01-17-2013, 09:43 AM

The original W bass was a gift to the company at our 30th Anniversary. Its been made available by request, as something fun for Warwick lovers. Thanks!

Fenwick · #37 01-17-2013, 10:41 AM

Wow, kinda ashamed of the W on my Streamer LX4 now.
Please, bury this before it catches on, people still like Warwick!!!

Was this a rejected Peavey design from around 1984?

TolerancEJ · #39 01-17-2013, 11:11 AM

I think some people have missed the point of the "W" bass.

It was presented TO Warwick by another party for their 30th anniversary. They just decided to produce and make them available, only available as a special order. If you want one, order it. If you don't, then don't order it. It's not like there will be a row of these on the wall at your local music store.

Exactly!
