    The Official Warwick Club (Part 4)

    I have a case I picked up years ago and used to use when I was playing Musicmaster bases. It fits my Thumb like a glove. As I recall, the store owner told me it was an Ibanez guitar case, but there are no tags or markings anywhere on it, so I can't confirm. It's too narrow to fit my Fortress...

    Should I trust mike lull?

    We're lucky in the Seattle area to have him so close by. Mike's a great guy and does outstanding work. He just did a repair on one of my basses and has worked on my guitars in the past. Fair price, quick turnaround, excellent work. And he treats you like you're his only customer.

    Serious Family Pic!

    Nice- my first bass was a Vantage exactly like the one on the left.

    wenge experience needed

    My Warwick has a wenge neck and board. I wouldn't trade it for anything. That open grain is so cool to play on.

    Why didn't Gibson and Epi basses catch on?

    I had a '69 EB0 about 15 years ago. I loved the way it played and I thought it looked really cool, but I could not get anything other than a muddy rumble out of it no matter what amp/effects I ran it through. I've always felt bad about selling it, but that's the way it goes.
