Wake up babe, new Warwick Rockbasses just dropped

#22
There's a trend in the Warwick YouTube channel right now, where every 2 weeks Andy's video drops featuring a newer version of one of the Warwick RockBass models. DESPERATELY waiting to see if they will upgrade the RockBass Corvette Taranis. I am eyeing that bass at the moment. 35" for BEAD using thinner strings on a 4 string bass? Sign me up. I hate playing with thicker-than-neede gauge. I aim to use it for Drop C. I have the moolah to drop on it atm, but I can prolly hold out for a few more months if that particular model gets an upgrade.

+1 on Warwick's website being terrible. It's everything that was wrong with the "frames" type websites from the 90s.

And, yeah, I can see why some folks are iffy on RockBass since they remember the 2000s when the weren't that good, but I also remember 1986 when Hyundais were tin cans but 20 years later became one of the most reliable cars on the road.

I'm glad to see the RockBass line continuing to improve and become closer to the German line.

Although this video is a year old, it's one where a gent compares a brand new Rockbass Corvette with his 2008 German-made one:

Hyundai's are great cars for people that don't care about driving.

My family's owned two Hyundais and I just got my mom a new Kia. I'd have one of those two, but I found a great deal on a nice Mazda a few years ago.

As for those new Rockbasses, I would love to try one of the Adam Clayton models.

I tried a Rockbass in a music shop a few years ago and was very impressed with how comfortable the neck was. My problem is the angled tuners. They always look cheesy to me. I'm sure they work just fine, but I can't live with the look. I guess I'm shallow.
