Damn! The SSII:s are really beatiful basses. And the price of that one was great too. What I'd really like to get my hands on though is the P-nut II model.

BTW, I've forgotten my member number, is it 64 or 74?

that's a sweet SSII...god, i miss the two that i had...that's a nutty looking SSI with the ebony top, too...i really need to get another warwick...i'm thinking of adding another thumb 6 NT...i've had two already, and they were really fun basses...the one i had with seymour duncan pickups had a killer sound, but they both played equally well...they were both late 90's models with wenge necks, so greatness was expected...i would probably follow that with a SSI 4 string and a SSII 5...neeeeeeeed another warwick.............

My 94 streamer bolt on fretless (defretted) with bartolinis and Aguilar obp3 and fender black nylon strings.
body of French cherry wood and 7 ply neck - maple and bubinga - and wenge fingerboard.
killer bass!! and gorges. i love her. my tool for many years.
the miniature streamer is a souvenir i got from Hans Peter Wilfer himself when i visited as a guest and reporter at the Warwick factory and the new great Framus museum. - it was two weeks ago - at Markenkirchen Germany.

you can enter my photobucket page to see more pics from the factory tour.

It was a bargain! I love the color and look of the grain on this one. And it sounds amazing

I'd love to see how the P-Nut sounds in comparision.

wow, nice streamer... but you gotta describe the sound of the cherrywood compared to the normal ww woods...

I nearly got one on ebay once, I'm really curious about the softer woods...

Hi All, new forum member here.

I guess I'll be eligible to join the Warwick club next week when I pick up my new Corvette double buck 4 string. Will post a pic when I take ownership.

I used to have a Fortress V, no pics of that one unfortunately.

thanks a lot. but i am sorry.. cant compare. unfortunately, this is the only Warwick i have and i never played any other.

but the match of the bartolinis and the Aguilar obp3 is great. i have nice plate of sounds. from fat upright like to nasal jaco sound.
and lot of wood aroma in the sound.
before the Aguilar, i had the standard MEC 2 bands preamp and i hated it and suffered from no so good tone and low output without punch and character.
i think it had an impedance issues between the Bart's and the MEC. but i replaced all the pots and now its good. its sound like major league bass.

i know the the number is sequential and then there is the year. but what the first letter means?

Some guys at the Warwick forum own the Pnuts, SS2's, and Pnut2's. They've given a description of the sound before, but I forgot what it was. I can only remember them saying it sounds very unique and very very niiiccee.

Azoore · #**773** 08-07-2007, 07:55 PM

Yeah I remember reading about them there. I'd like to get my hands on one and noodle around with it for a few days.

I know for sure that Son of Bovril here on TB and at the Warwick forums owns a P-nut II. Apparently, he got it at a very good price.

There's one of these beasts in Sweden, and the list price is 43,000 Swedish Crowns, aprx. $6,282, or €4,589. At Bass Northwest, they had one for sale, in mint condition, for $2,999, aprx. 19,826 Swedish Crowns, or €2,116.

LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE!

Consider the fact that taxes from EU to US add up a bit, it still less than half the price in the US! Germany almost neighbours Sweden, so the shipping is also less expensive as we're both members of the European Union, yet it still costs too much for my wallet

So I urge anyone to say that Warwicks are less expensive in Europe than in the U.S.A.

Azoore · #**775** 08-18-2007, 07:25 PM

Anyone ever have a neck swapped out of their Warwick? I'd like to ditch my fretless Corvette and get a fretless neck for my Thumb instead. I'd really like to keep my Thumb, but it's going to sit in the corner unplayed if it stays fretted

I emailed DBG, but was wondering if anyone here had this done before?

theNoseBleedKid · #**777** 08-19-2007, 04:48 AM

M is the month

It is made in December. They use a letter of the alphabet for the month, A is January, B is Febuary. Except they skip "I"

Just changed to a fresh set of strings (steel) on my 2002 LTD JazzMan. I'd forgotten how much new strings matter. And I also remembered why I fell in love with Warwick in the first place. The clarity, the deep bass, crisp highs. And the growl, oh, the growl...
