I have 2 German Warwicks and a Chinese Warwick. My Chinese Warwick has made in China on the back of the headstock, and the serial number starts with RB (RockBass). I dont know how to distinguish between a ProSeries, which is a German/Korean joint venture. I bought my Chinese Corvette $$ as a backup for my German Corvette Std, both being 5ers, and im pretty impressed with the $$... Congrats, and welcome to the club!
I have a blood red one and need to replace the strings...
This bass has more top end than any of my other Warwicks so I'm looking for a string to really bring out the bottom end and maybe some mid lows as well. Any ideas?
Awesome bass! Mine is only a 4 string so not sure on the 5 but I have Rotosound SB66 on mine, but I like a distorted mid range growl on mine.

I got me another Warwick the other day. She's a beaut Clark.......07 Thumb NT 5
^^^ awesome basses. i have owned several, lol. trying my best to hang on to the current one.
I've got an '03 Corvette Standard 4-string that needs a neck replacement. Warwick wants almost $500 for a new neck, and there's a three to four month waiting period. Does anyone know of a non-ebay source for used Warwick necks?
just picked up an Infinity SN TCS 4 off Reverb. now all i need is a Streamer Jazzman 5, lol. maybe i'll post pics of my wicks when it arrives.
REVERSO w/mods of White Paint, Hipshot D-tuner, Delano P Blade Pickups (added one),,, and a Noll 4-Band Pre-amp.
And to answer your question, yes, it is badass to play/hear now finally...

Very excited to be added to the Warwick Club. Back to bass after 5 years off. Always wanted a Warwick and after a whole lot of research and searching I found a great deal on a BO custom shop Thumb 5 2015 that was too good to pass up. The market for the newbies seems to be on par with the older basses but the newbies have full bubinga and wenge and even cool wenge tuners lol. Bass was setup crazy like but new strings and some love has it singing!
Anyway far exceeded any expectation I ever had!I bought it without ever playing a thumb and only ever doodling on a pro series $$ for a minute once...I am meant to play thumb basses I've owned some nice basses even a rare ESP custom bass but it pales in comparison! Looking at that highly figured wenge neck everyday is sheer pleasure and burning that B string is nearly as cool lol.
Thanks TB and Warwick legends think my obsession has firmly kicked in!
