Good GOD is this nice.

... or a car.

Or my entire car history (minus 2 of them as I was making a lot more money then).

It is a beautiful bass though. Not a huge fan of the color/wood of the tuner knobs but that's a tiny little detail for me.

I like Warwick basses. They're good instruments. I do not understand why they're as expensive as they are, though.

same reason as those by other companies selling expensive things.
It's the nice car, the boss drives.

I could have at least three Spector basses for the price of that!

From five feet away, it will look like this on stage:

I dunno.. I'm the kind of guy that finds beauty in an old beaten up Tele bass. That's not my cup of tea.

Please someone here tell me which of their favorite songs was played on an $8,000 bass.

Anyone?

...anyone?

Lots of chili peppers songs, tool songs, Victor wooten jams, etc

I understand it comes with Ego Protection insurance coverage. If anybody ever makes fun of you for buying such an expensive bass, a specially designated image specialist at Warwick (who goes by the name of Atlas Fang) will personally contact whoever is giving you a hard time and 'explain' why it (a) was a brilliant move on your part to buy that bass; and (b) 'demonstrate' some of the disadvantages of being rude to you.

I'd say it's worth the money for that alone.

A lot of people like "U can hold no groove ..." and it was played with a 10 000$ bass

A lot of people like Les Claypool and Primus and he plays with Carl Thumpson which is easily in the 5000$ ball park

Another bass made with pretty wood.....gets very boring after a while.

You prefer bass dip in solid plastic color derived from 50' car colors ?

 

[tattooSAM]

I dare you to set that on stage and go get a drink from the bar.

No, but also no one is making a big deal about those a basses you mentioned.

This a pretty bass but nothing original - seen many times before.

21497.90 in Canadian dollars... Ouch...

I happen to be a fan of basses that look like magically enchanted items in RPGs.

This one's up there.

 

[Sixgunn]

I own one bass (Roscoe) and have another on order (Skjold) that are each less than half the price of that thing, and are at least 2x the quality/sound/playability.
That phallic upper horn instantly depletes any curiosity I have about a W bass.

Homophobe!!

No. It really doesn't. What's REALLY boring is rehashing the same old Fenders, over and over and over and over...........















.....and over.

 

[tpaul]

Not my style. I'd rather have an old beat up P-bass. But, if you like it and you have the cash...

For coverage in the US, the specialist's name is John Barron or John Miller; can't remember which exactly.
