My new Custom Warwick *bass porn!*

Wow...one of the nicest Spector copies I've seen! Way to make it your own for sure...whodathunk common woods such as maple, ebony, and wenge could look so good? That neck is AMAZING looking around the tailpiece...I would have completed the gloss on the fretboard, however.

That is absolutely gorgeous. And this is coming from a guy that generally seriously dislikes maple fretboards... You came up with a great complimentary selection of woods, and that maple figuring is dazzling...
Good sound to boot. Yep, you scored a serious winner there!

If only you went for a rosewood fingerboard... That would have done it for me.
Thanks for the comments guys, glad you're digging the beauty! I did another video with it demonstrating the bridge pickup a bit more!
I'm typically not a big Warwick fan. But you and Dreads311 may have 2 of the nicest ones I've seen.
Look at the bookmatching, especially in the centerblock. That is some amazing craftsmanship. It sounds great too!

Wow, that's a gorgeous instrument! drool Love the finish, love the top, love the pickups, love the fingerboard, love the headstock, ..... love the whole d@mn bass!
I really miss my Warwick. Still bummed it just didn't fit me ergonomically and I wasn't playing it, so I ended up selling it. But it's still one of the prettiest and best sounding basses I've ever owned. Might have to give another a try someday.

That's a beautiful bass man!
My inner nerd wants to know what the string spacing and scale is?
Peace,
Rob.

Good thing I was already sitting because my knees buckled when I saw that fretboard! Great playing too, way tasteful!
