Just got this bass from Mr. Pickles today! It is a 2006 LTD warwick dirty blonde. Swamp ash body, poplar top, tigerflame ebony fingerboard with maple neck.
Not your normal warwick. Owned a 2002 thumb bo few years ago this is a completely different animal even though its a thumb bass too.
The P/TJ pick up setting is very versatile and the wood combination got me a bit confused when I took it out the box and plugged it in.
This bass does not have that 'sound of wood' sound that I am so familar to when I pick up a warwick. Not saying its bad but different. Reminds me somewhat of my old us made spector.
Soloing the p pick up gives me that thumpy mo-town sound and soloing the bridge pick up I can get that burpy jaco-esque sound.
I do miss my fender jazz deluxe I sold to buy this but I am slowly forgetting about it. :hiding:
Bass came strung with some tapewound strings. First time using them so I cant wait til I try on different sets of strings to see what I like best.
Well here are the pictures!

oh one questino if anyone knows. What does the 6/252 mean? does 6 stand for 2006 or the 6th one?

6/253 means that it is from the 2006 Limited Edition run, yours is the 253rd of those particular basses built. The one at Bass Northwest (6/032) is the 32nd one built in the same year as yours.

anyone know what the pull is on the treble/bass stack knob?? is that for the humbucker or something else?

Yes, you get two treble freq. to select from. Pulled out it's way up around 16kHz I would guess. Pushed in it's around 12kHz.

Keep in mind that when the vol. knob is pulled, the eq is bypassed, so you won't hear any changes. The blend is the bottom ring of the vol stack and it works in both modes. The middle knob is mids boost/cut and only works in active mode.

It didn't sound like that to my ears-definitely sounded like two distinct freqs. Check warwick.de for more info.

The MEC & SD preamps fitted to Warwicks can have 2 mid frequencies.These can be found on certain LTD editions & Corvette/Streamer Jazzman models.
I moderate the Warwick forum & this has been a somewhat recurring question.
