Well i must say that i am soooo happy, bought my first bass, i am a beginner, but searched the classifieds here and bought a Warwick FNA JAZZMAN, bought it from BASSCLEFF, man o man does he have a sweet collection of some awesome basses, he gave me a good deal and he did not missrepresent the guitar, this thing is mint just like he said, he even played it for me while i was there...needless to say this site has been so helpful, i will become a supporting member...cant wait for my lessons..thanks to all here!, if u ever need to deal with him trust me u will not be let down, he keeps his stuff MINT!:D

Thanks to all, you guys really make me feel welcomed here, this is what i love about this site everyone is supportive. Although i had been looking at a brand new '75 reissue Jazz Fender this came along for the right price, and in the condition i wanted it in, and since im a beginner i opted for used (advice from most here) instead. Maybe in about six months or so ill get that Fender. I played the sax before this is a whole different world the low end...again thanks to all....I am writing my check now to become a supporting member.

Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

BTW, I'm still surprised -- and jealous, really -- that you got a Warwick for your first bass. It sounds like you've already got some music experience, though, and are pretty committed to the instrument. Hope it works out for you!

Welcome to the club...

Well, consider the age of the beginner...

If the beginner is a kid having his first bass bought with his newspaper route monies, sure, a Squier or some other cheapo beginner instrument's in order.

WTC, on the other hand, is an adult. SInce he's got the money, it's all right for him to start with the best instrument he can afford. It'll probably help him stay committed to learning it, since he's made a bigger investment.

Congrats on the first bass. Get some lessons to get you going in the right direction and just one tip: don't let your left thumb hang over the neck. :bassist:

First, let me thank you WTC - I truly appreciate your enthusiasm about your purchase (BTW, y'all, he got his Corvette FNA Jazzman from me).

Folks, this is a guy with a fire in him to learn bass. He's gonna be a monster one day real soon! It gets me psyched to meet people like this. I am very glad that this instrument found a home with someone that has the fire in him. They really deserve each other.

I have a lot (or not enough, point of view really) of other basses - I wanted to try a Warwick, but it didn't seem to suit me for any other reason than personal preference.
