Schecter or Warwick...HELP ME DECIDE!

[blankrider]

Ok so there are two basses, each about 180 miles from where I live. They are both going for 375 right now. The first is a warwick standard corvette with bubinga body and ovangkol bolt on neck. It has some weird artwork that could be pretty cool (most is on back)

The second is a Shecter Studio 4...seen here

This also has a bubinga body.

So give me some advice? I'm gonna have to drive a good bit to pick each up but which is worth the 375?

Also i'm currently playing an Ibanez 4 string 300DXL and stagg L-EUB...so both are a step up from the ibanez

Without the artwork I'd say the Warwick every time, but that's not particularly pretty (unless you like it).

Agreed. Schecters are nice basses, especially for the money, but in a head-to-head I feel like Warwick wins.

Id go with the warwick and take that artwork off.

Between those two I'd definitely say Warwick. More distinct sound, made in Germany and overall a better bass in my opinion. Especially at that price.

If the Schecter is a neck-thru... which it looks like it is... it's a better bass than the bolt-on WW... in my opinion. And dude. That artwork is bizarre. It looks carved into the body. If that's the case, there's no de-uglifying that one.

I'd say Warwick any day over Schecter but check GC's used page, CL and the TB classifieds and yo should be able to get a good deal on one without the schizophrenic on crack artwork.

Having owned several of each, and still owning one of each - the Schecter is a well-made instrument for the price point - but simply put, the Warwick is a better instrument all the way around. I'd go for the Warwick every time at that price. As far as that artwork on the Wick? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

I'd say Warwick any day over Schecter but check ... the TB classifieds

Here's the best answer yet!

I'd take Schecter over those particular 2. But Warwick wins in general.

I'm biased, I have a 'vette std. I love it. Everything they say about wicks is true.

So IMO...grab the wick and get the crap off it, wax it up nice and it'll be good.

I never played a Schec, but that one is a beauty. I'd still grab the wick

Schecter. The warwick pups are disappointing to me and the preamps are no better then those on other lower priced imports. The schecter has better pup types for music I do as well. Id probably be happy with the schecter stock. But would have to replace the pups and preamp on the warwick to have any chance of being happy with it.

Buy both!

There`s actually at least one (if not two) Warwick Corvettes in the classifieds right now going for around $500-$600 that don`t have the artwork thing going on... which I hate because it`s lowering the market value of mine

 

[flipper_gv]

No contest. For this price warwick all the way.

 

[Shmone]

I'd buy the Wick and get the "artwork" off.

 

[Happynoj]

Warwick fo' sho. I think the art is pretty cool.

 

[dudelove]

my choice is warwick, it sound great, feel great and the quality i still on top after 17 years, my brother have a proline from 93 and it still sound great

I don't really like the artwork but I'll go for Warwick
