I work in a store that used to be a Warwick dealer. About three years, Dana B. Goods (the U.S. distributor for Warwick) sent many of its dealers these mini basses for free. I abused my managerial power and "assumed" the promotional item for myself. It's pretty sweet; you can actually play it...kinda'.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I saw Fishbone live this saturday night and they were AWESOME! Norwood was switching between an Corvette FNA Jazzman, and an Infinity LTD, both 5-strings. He was using two Ampeg SVT-CL/SVT-810E stacks, and his tone was monstrous! Just thought I'd share......
I have tried almost everything Warwick currently produces and none of them sound even close to my 1997 Fortress Masterman. Is it the Maple body? The wenge neck? I have no clue, but it is funky.
Also, the new Rockbass Streamer Standard is a great inexpensive bass for slap. I saw a new one recently near Toronto for about $350USD.

This followed me home just the other day, how could I resist?, I've been wanting a fretless 5 for some time now.
sweet. NT or BO?

Looks very nice! I need to stop being chicken and start playing fretless too...:scowl:

I'd LOVE to have been there. Fishbone rocks! But I didn't know they were still playing. Who's still in the band? (original)
Bubinga-bodied 'Wicks give me the slap tone that I like. My Thumb NT gives a great, round bottom slap without being at all muddy. But it stays naturally crisp-sounding. My Corvette Standard active gives a similar tone, but it has a little more mids, which is great for my plucking and tapping styles. Though the bottom end lacks a bit on the 'Vette, it is a tad more comfortable to slap on than my Thumb NT. My $$ just sounds completely different. It almost sounds like a Spector on meth amphetamines. It's bright, but wants to play fast.
We were right in the front row! The only originals left are Norwood and Angelo. They were still awesome though man, we had a great time! They have an album coming out next month. They played a song called "Jackass", which was a tribute to Bush, it was hilarious!

Nice bass! u need to get some Warwick wax onto that bass though, looks like it's dried out a little bit. It'll help bring out the grain much more!! Fingerboard could do with a light oil as well!!
