I may look red but it is not.
It is a Warwick Dolphin pro 1. 1996 model.
The body is Boire wood.
Great bass......it is currently retired and rests peacefully on my wall.

Hmmm...... I've never heard of that wood before. So, retired from gigging or playing altogether?

 

[Eddy Flycatcher]

here it is

Hey Ryan, do have some specs on the two jazzes?

 

[ryanowens]

The jazz bass on the right is a 1965 original jazz bass. It has an excellent pro refrett and other than that is all original. I used it to record my bands full last record. At the time I had a Musicman, MTD 545 and Sadowsky int he room and none of them recorded like this jazz bass.
You can hear the record at Invalid Link Removed

The jazz on the left is a fender custom shop Jaco relic bass from 2000 I believe. I honestly think the relic idea is a little cheesy, however when you feel what this bass playes like you can't put it down. The neck is perfectly worn in on the back and the body is very comfortable. you can heart it at Invalid Link Removed on the song "Eternal God"

I currently have a Fodera Imperial on order but won't see it for about 6 months. It will be my second fodera and will be pretty customized. It will have the imperial single cutaway body but will be a downsized version (smaller) 26 fretts, extended cutaway, neck pickup moved back towards the bridge 1 inch, walnut body with a flamed KOA top, aero pickups and pope preamp.

the bass cab on the left is an Epifani 610 (great cab) and the one on the right used to belong to Anthony Jackson. He custom made it with Nick Epifani. It has 2 12's crossed over for the lows, 1 8 crossed over for the mids with an atenuator on the back of the cab and 1 tweeter crossed over for the highs with an attenuator on the back. this cab is VERY heavy but in my opinion has to be one of the best cabs in world!

The rack has a power conditioner, Kern IP-777 pre amp (great for live and studio) and a QSC plx 3002 power amp. On top of the rack is an Avalon U5 DI box and preamp.

On top of the Epifani 610 you can kinda see my pedalboard. It has a visual volume pedal, bass balls, fulltone bass drive, EH bass micro synthesizer, sans amp bass driver, boss tu12 tuner and voo doo labs pedal power.

that's about it....you can see my music mans sterling in the corner...fun bass.

and the warwick on the wall that is retired form gigging...I have plans to string it like a piccalo bass and have some fun with it that way.

Cool basses Ryan! Love the 65 jazz, sounds great too (On your website) I also like the music you're making, I can't buy the CD though, since I don't have a credit card
Will it be available in the shops as well?

 

[ryanowens]

Killer rig Ryan. Man. Looks like you have some various Bergie stuff in the live rig as well. Nice mix of the new and the old.

Wow, there are photos of home on the website !! (DC) Dig the tunes as well.

 

[ryanowens]

Thanks,
i used 2 bergantino cabs last year for our Sept, Oct, Nov tour accross the country. Great cabs! i now use Epifani and love those cabs too. i think they are both great companies, I just needed a change of sceenery.

We should be back on the east cost soon. I'll try to let you know.
The cover art to our CD was actually taken in DC on the metro train...

My Warrior is more of a basic bolt-on work-horse... Some of them up at the Gallery (RIP) or at the shop are like gems.

What is yours going to be? What Body style? Components?

Tell me about it. They'll cost ya too !!

Mine is similar. It's a 5'er lefty with quilted top, oil finish, ebony f/b, Bart MM and J and a Bart 2-band. Nothing too radical but hopefully a decent bolt-on workhorse. I've played them though mostly righties and dug the super-flat neck profile and small body. Is your's comfortable ?? I'm a small guy.

It's very...well, 80's. Although I have never played one before, they do look intriguing...
