I've seen the new Warwicks!

[K-Funk]

I'm really digging the Zender and P-Nut basses; the TM is also neat. Looking at the updates to the Rockbass Fortress, it doesn't seem that my original Fortress One and Flashback basses are going to stand out as much anymore

But the P-Nut is especially sweet. It looks like it's made of stone

hahaha that TM Stevens Signature Streamer Stg 1 is horrendous.

The first time I saw the Zender sig model I thought it was a Derek Smalls tribute bass!!! hahaha

The horns - did he grab a coat hanger from his wardrobe and use that as a template?

It'll be on the truss rod cover, but have the "W" on the 'stock.

Niiiiicce, real niiiiicce!!

Looks to me like the design team had a Ritter Raptor sitting on the bench when this one was drawn up...

I personally like the SZ signature. It will probably be a couple thousand out of my price range though. Anyone else think the TM Stevens model is absolutely abhorrent?

 

[RONQUITO]

TM stevens = ***?

SZ signature = looks to me he´s taking revenge

everything else? Just OK. (Where are LTD editions as striking as the Thumb B.O. Dirty Blonde, etc)

 

[Lex]

revenge for what?

 

[Baryonyx]

If you're going to order a Warwick, black hardware is a no-cost option, and gold is only a small upcharge. One of the advantages of Warwick being a semi-custom outfit.

Yeah, but look at those basses ruined by chorme hardware. What a faux pa!

 

[Sound Chaser]

Definitely like the limited edition. The Zender is awesome, the TM is horrific (which is a shame because I bet it sounds awesome), and that $$ RB is calling to me. I wonder if they'll have a fiver?

 

[Krügmeister]

Beautiful. Almost tear shedding.

WOW, all I can say is WOW! i am VERY impressed, i LOVE this bass.. WOW! i WILL get one

 

[Sound Chaser]

I think that star bass needs to be purple with gold hardware.

 

[phxlbrmpf]

I wonder what Warwick's signature model team has been smoking, my eyes!

The new limited Double Buck looks pretty cool, though.

About the TM Stevens sig: maybe TM likes to paint in his spare time and did the artwork himself? That might be an explanation for the umm, less-than professional quality.

 

[Calvan]

i really like the 5 string LTD at the top. the rest range between "really ugly" to "not terrible, not great."

 

[Krügmeister]

I think that star bass needs to be purple with gold hardware.

That would look nice, also the same color with gold would look kind of White Falconish!

 

[yellofury]

the TM is uhhhhhh what the word? it would look better on the hood of a low rider

The new Rockbasses look nice and I think companies like Warwick and Fender are starting to realize that making their entry and budget lines look cheaper than the top shelf stuff is not going to sell basses. I like that the Spector Legend looked fairly similar to its richer cousins....

The SZ model looks great
too bad I dont like the neck profile on 'Wicks

A decent luthier will be able to reshape and re-profile the neck of a Warwick quite simply - I found this out after the fact, alas. I had a rather nice Streamer Jazzman 5 (from a short-lived Warwick endorsement) that I sold on because I couldn't get on with the neck profile, when I could have easily got it re-profiled.

It's particularly easy on Warwicks, as there's a lot of wood to work with, and the neck finish is only wax, and can be easily re-applied afterwards, unlike most other basses.
