Performer vs Rockbass

[awilkie84]

So this above was one of the things I was most worried about.
Im play technical death metal and have noticed that a large amount of my fellow bassists play Warwicks. Which is part of the reason my interest was piqued. If it is true that the Rockbass line doesnt sound like the German counterparts than that might be a big blow to them. I want the Warwick sound if Im getting a Warwick you know?

Anyone else feel this way?

Secondly, upon research, I have noticed the Spector Legend series USED is of comparable price...but I still dont know how much I fancy buying a used one.

It would seem so far its split down the middle...maybe Ill just get both

The NEW revamped Rockbass line sounds EXACTLY like their German brothers.

Secondly, a used Spector Legend is still an awesome bass.

Thirdly, in my neck of the woods, a new Legend is only $30 more than a new Rockbass.

I had a Rockbass Streamer Standard and it was one of the worst basses I ever owned. Turned it over faster than the SX's that stuck around longer. The pickups were very weak and the trussrod was always needing adjusted. It is the budget Warwick for a reason but I don't know why the company would risk their reputation selling them.

What year was your Rockbass. The new ones have none of those issues.
