I've seen the new Warwicks!

No one ever said the content of the artwork was bad, I think that type of finish for a guitar/bass is generally not liked. And no, it would not be better with Europeans. It could have robots on it for all I care, it would still look ridiculous.

It's got the same finish as every other painted Warwick...I'm guessing that it was taken from some airbrush painting, but it would feel the same if it was solid white....I agree with the general consensus! I'm black, and I wouldn't buy that bass even if I had the money! I'm not putting words in anybody's mouth, but I don't believe that the finish is the issue. I still luv u guys tho...:D:D!

Now that Streamer LX...I might hafta go back to Warwicks!!:bassist:
 
Wow. What can I say?

The SZ model isn't what I was expecting, but I think I kind of like it... it's a bit expensive though! I heard that there will be a more cost-effective model coming out next year.

P-Nut - I have no idea who he is (other than that he plays in some band called 311, who I have never actually heard), but he sure has nice taste in basses! Very sexy.

TM Stevens - not really my cup of tea, but I think that it suits him.

The rest - Nice. Very nice. Especially the Rockbasses.




Anyone know whether the RB Streamers are contoured like the real deal? Also, what finish options are available on the RB line?
 
Blasphemy and I rebuke that in the name of funk baby Jesus! :eek:

Does it make a difference if I point out that I'm English, and live in England, and until the last couple of years no one in the US had heard of Muse?



EDIT: I just did a bit of research on 311 out of curiosity. Me likey! I'll definitely be on the lookout for some CDs!

All the Rockbass models are flat slab bodied.;)
The new RB Streamer LX is a fantastic bass for the money.
 
Is it just me or is the first knob on the 2009 LTD stacked, I wonder what it is...

Passive tone?

Sure is mate.;)
I've been asked what the deal is with the RB Corvette $$'s pups & eq so I'll answer that too.
It's passive pups & eq.The pots are vol vol tone & each pot is stacked for coil tapping.
I prefer the active eq'd $$ with the eq bypassed.
An amazing array of voicing is available through just using the coil switches.Makes for much versatility.Dare I say even more versatile than an HH Stingray.
*(I like Stingray's guys.One of the best basses ever designed imho).
