I recently purchase this bass in the shop: Warwick Rockbass Streamer Standard 4 VW E-Bass 2 x passive MEC Vintage TA Carolena body Maple neck Rosewood fretboard 24 frets 2 x Volume 1 x Tone Chrome hardware colour black Never really just warwick before, just heard is pretty good so i decide to buy this and give it a try. After several hour of playing, i find it warwick bass is very good. I like the tone alot
Congrats badboy. I've played exactly that model (down to the color) and enjoyed it. It's definitely a one of the best bargains in all of bass-dom. I love the Streamer body shape, to my mind it's the best looking shape that Warwick ever came up with.
In any event, I really like that shape, wherever it came from. I wish that there was a bubinga Streamer in the price range of a Corvette Std because I'd buy on in a hearbeat.
I'm glad to hear ppl say good thing about warwick bass I always thought is me that being picky on tone, bcos i previous use a Aria STB P-bass. I found that the Aria STB bass can't ditch out good tone, i don't noticed anything about the tone of the bass at start bcos i use that bass when i start learning, but probably as time go by i start realise the tone on the bass is bad. So i'm glad i bought the warick
That's awesome. I just bought the Warwick Rockbass Namm Demo (hoping to God the demo part doesn't actually mean "You got jipped out of 400 dollars"). It is fretless and has five strings and I am really excited because this is my first midrange bass.
totally agree, I've read alot of review on the warwick midrange bass, and they all have very good feedback. So i'm in love with warwick bass now I'm glad i started off with a cheap Aria beginner bass so i now know wt's good and bad. Beginner bass let you get a feel on wt bass is like but anything above that. Is where good bass coming in I now want a warwick p-bass style thats my next target
The only reason I don't like the streamer is because it's a total ripoff of the Spector NS design. However, the Buzzard, Thumb and Vampyre are some of the coolest basses out there, and if I had the money I'd buy one of each (thumb fretless).
That won't be for a while my friend. Most highschool Juniors don't have toss-about income. I will look into that though. I heard a huge amount of good things about the thumb in other threads. That said, I'm on a 150 dollar Arbor p-bass (not bad for it's price, good beginner bass) and am looking for something that will give me more options. Warwick Rockbass looks like the deal.
Congrats on the Rockbass Pete, it'll take you a long ways. Playing a fretless is a great way to develop your ear.
Congrats on the bass. The Rockbass is to Warwick what Squire is to Fender though...just a different price scale. Wait till you try the REAL thing! And just go straight for a Thumb bass or a Streamer. You don't get a Warwick so you can get a precision or a jazz bass tone. You buy a Warwick so you can get that Warwick growl! PS - who cares who built or designed it? That was over 25 years ago! All that matters now is that it's a sweet bass! Fender came up with the jazz bass but you don't see people ripping on Sadowsky's for it now do you?
