Those Warwicks!

some are ugly, but most of them are gorgeus (dunno how 2 write that)

 

warwicks do look funny, but they also look evil (at the right angle) lol.

mine is dope.

 

..............

 

Maybe not intentionally, but borderline troll.

 

i think warwicks are absolutely hideous...the thumb 4 has potential but they screw everything up with those crooked pups

just my opinion

 

I'll agree they look a little strange. I get some wierd looks from my Thumb 5, but the look has grown on me and I love it now.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's definitely not an unpleasant thing though. I mean, I really like their looks, but they're definitely a little "out there". Especially the Dolphin, Buzzard, Vampyre, etc.

 

They do look a bit out there, but I like them - with the exception of the buzzard and vampyre. Yuck.

 

If you're talking about the ones with the plain wood finish, then I'd agree. They feel great for the most part though. In addition to the odd body shape, it seems to be a very small looking and feeling body too.

I'd love a Thumb at some point.

 

I agree, I don't care how good they sound, I could never play those. I really don't understand why Warwick would think those 2 basses would sell well.

 

My blue Streamer looks great!!

 

I love the look of the Corvettes, but those Dolphins are hideous.

 

Don't they claim those crooked pups give a more even tone/volume throughout the strings?

 

Funny???

I Think Not!

 

i think the streamer/spector body shape is one of the least strange looking basses around... how can something so organic looking be ugly.

I do think they look better with the broadneck tho.

 

My Stage I has got a mile of room between those string.

i really wanted a stage I.... but i just couldnt get used to the neck... still love my stage ii tho.

 

Frankly, I love the looks of just about all the Warwick bass, excluding the Buzzard and Vampire line. I have owned a custom shop Thumb 5 BO but sold it only because I couldn't get use to the tight string spaceing. I still have my Thumb 4 NT, and a Streamer Stage II 4. The wood combination on these are wonderful for tone and looks. I also happen to like the smaller body on the Thumb basses.

If you want to cut down the Streamer series because of their body shape, you would also have to cut down the Spector basses (same body style). As far as the pickups being slanted on some of their 5-string basses, I thought that was kind of funky too at first but once you play it a couple of times you won't even know the difference. There is a reason for the slanted pickups, they do that because they feel it is the best position for tone in some of their basses. Keith Roscoe does the same thing on his basses.

Everybody has an idea of what they want in a bass for tone and looks. If you don't like their looks, don't look at them. Personally, I would rather have a nice contoured body instead of a flat body on both sides that looks and feels like a 2X4.
