...and I must say, I'm in love. Been wanting one for a while now. I've been a guitar player for the last 25 years, but last year started playing Bass. My first was a Fender Squire special P, that plays good, but I wanted to take the next step up. Needless to say, my Warwick was a big step up. I dropped it off at my favorite repair shop for a set up, and the repair guy told me it was one of the nicest Warwicks he's seen in a long time. I'm ecstatic!

On purpose? Sorry, not a fan of the necks on those. But congrats, IF you indeed bought one. No pics = no bass.

news flash - they've gone back to the skinny neck profile they used pre-99
Streamer? Corvette? Thumb? Dolfhin? Infinity? No pics No bass
Awesome man! I am a Warwick fanboy and recently purchased my 4th =)
Which model did you go with?

Sorry!
I will post pics tomorrow when I pick it up from the repair shop. The model is the Corvette Standard.
That rocks!
I've got 2 Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman's, and I'm totally sold!
Just got Mike Lull to work on the fretted one and re-do the shielding. You might want to look into that. The shielding is a little "lacking" but the sound is KILLER!
Going to take my fretless to him soon and have him shield that one, too.
Then, "no worries" when I do studio work!
Congrats on entering the "sound of wood" genre!

Whatever people will say, warwicks build quality is second to none. I've yet to see a better build quality, I really think they are as good as it gets. I've Sadowsky, Alembic, Fodera and I really couldn't see why one would be better built than the other.
The tone, look and feel of warwicks is unique, that is why they get highly polarized opinions from people.

+1! The only variance is the opinion of the individual as far as sound, and that is as diverse as the amount of people out there. As far as quality, the Warwick brand has it!
Yup, there's something very old world in a Warwick; the craftsmanship, the detail, the woodiness of the sound. It's not just one thing but the sum of them.
