Warwick Dolphin Pro 1 Experience

[MN_Bass]

I happen to stop into my local Guitar Center and happen to come across a beautiful used 2009 Dolphin Pro 1.

One word, WOW! I never gave much thought about the Dolphin model but I found this one to have a fast neck (a flatter profile than my Thumb) , really comfortable on my lap (no neck dive). It was very easy to dial in a good sound with it and the string volume was even across the board. I have never played a neck through Warwick until now, awesome sustain.

I played it through a Markbass LM2 Combo, Ampeg Reissue V4, Fender Rumble 1x15 Combo. It sounded fantastic through every option.

It was out of my price range ($2,600) , but if it was I would have walked out with it.

Now if I could get my hands on a Streamer, Star or Infinity I would be set.

NT Warwicks are the bomb! I owned a beautiful '95 NT Dolphin 4-string for awhile and really liked the tone/playability of it.

Dolphins... mmmm. The best of the Warwick line.
I love mine (thanks @Neuroman ) to me it's magic.

That really is a lovely thing to see.
the close up of the fingerboard is like modern art. Super photos.

I've never seen one in real life, but I think you are a lucky man to have one.
