Behold: the 12K basses from Warwick

[mccartneyman]

I thought Gretsch had gone crazy by producing the $10 eddie Cochran Sig guitar, but I saw these two from Warwiock today:

Adam Clayton Reverso: $12,500

Bootsy Star Sig: $12K

Poor Jack Bruce: His Warwick Sig model is less than $10K.

I notice they put his signature right on the part of the body where it's likely to get rubbed off by your right arm!

I just don't get it... any of them for that matter for that kind of money. Or half that money.

i wish that ugly thing was this easy to remove. unfortunately it's inlaid MOP.

Reverse explorer body doesn't appeal to me. the bootsy one is cool, infinity bodystyle with a terrible paintjob. The RRP isn't what you would pay for the bass either.

 

[GrooveWarrior]

I wouldn't pay 1/6th of that for any of them.

 

[lowendblues]

Reverso? are you serious? For that kind of cash thats the best name they could come up with?

I dont like any of them. the JB isnt bad, but I dont like names scrawled all over my basses.

I work with MOP all the time. My hats off to whoever cut that out.

 

[grifff]

You could custom shop the specs for the Jack Bruce minus the signature for less than 12k...

Fixed

 

[M.R. Ogle]

Oh, yeah... I'd just want to see the engineer's face when I pulled one of those outa the case.

"Get that thing outa here and get an ADULT's bass!"

 

[Tommygunn]

I like how bootsy is holding his nonwarwick starbass on the picture of him on the headstock...

 

[blendermassacre]

don't worry. Them not having to put in frets is no extra charge

Couldn't one buy an off the shelf Warwick just like it for about $2500?

 

[Raw N Low]

Fail...major fail. I could have my $5K Vadim bass built for that much and buy a used corvette for the money = WIN

Yes, and the Bootsy on that headstock is holding a Precision.

Exactly.
