Post your RockBass pics.

Since RockBasses are basically snubbed by the Warwick Club, post your RockBasses here and get some appreciation. I know RockBasses to Warwick are the equivalent to Squier to Fender and Epiphone to Gibson but a little respect please. At least we're moving in the right direction.

'08 Streamer Standard, nice upgrade from an SX jazz 5string.

Yeah, I'm one of those "Snobby Warwick Guys". But I keep this Corvette 5er around, and play it when no one is around. Kinda like my Fat Mistress, or MoPed Chopper...

I used to Rock Out with this VamPyre as well!

I wish I had one . It's not a real wick but i've hated how chunky the necks were and how heavy the real ones were. It's still a quality bass..and thats all i care about.

 

[etechstan]

I never said anything about being snobby. Maybe a little hoity toity.

You say Potato, I say Potato...Actually most Warwick guys are pretty cool. But having a "Real Warwick" does give you a sense of "Arrival".

And a RockBass is considerably better than a Squier or an EpiPhone. The build Quality of the Early Chinese RockBass is actually really good. The setup was questionable, but the components and electronics were always Quality Stuff! Having a RockBass on your Strap is nothing to be ashamed of.

So I guess RockBass owners are too ashamed to admit they play RockBasses?

You guys are probably gunna laugh at me about this, but I own 2 rockbasses (corvette 4 and streamer 4), a 'vette 4 and used to own a thumb BO 5. I hated the feel of the thumb, yet the sound was great...preferred it to my german 'vette 4 string. Funnily enough, I can get the same sound (or at least very damn close) out of my rockbass streamer. Sold the BO, still have the rockbasses and rarely play the german 'vette now

They might be cheaper, but that doesnt mean they are inferior!!

Cheers,
Jordan

[ImMoreBetter]

The only pic I've got at the moment, and currently my only bass (The others don't fit in my dorm room...). And I'd say it's a damn fine bass at that.

 

[EagleMoon]

Here's mine. Love the ultra-thin neck on these basses now.

I have two, but play neither.

Shame doesn't enter into it. They're just not "me." You know.

Got 'em dirt cheap, will flip them eventually, in the meantime they're in storage.

They're excellent examples, but I've seen some breathtakingly, head-shakingly terrible ones, too.

If I'd dropped real money on a real Warwick, then I'd be ashamed.

 

[Basshappi]

Here is my Vette, I usually have it strung piccolo.

 

[Buslady7803]

for the record on the Warwick forum RB's are not looked down on.
For what they are, they're not bad.
If it's gotta big W on the stock...I'll take it & give it a good home.

When I took this shot it was more about the DR Neons, but hey, it's a Rockbass and it's mine. It is the newer W headstock.

 

[arsie]

It does appear that the W logo 2 piece bridge Rockbasses are a huge step forward aesthetically. Will have to keep an eye out for them.

Nice!
