Warwick Star II ... wow!

[terribilino]

I've never really been that interested in hollow body basses, but this one looks and sounds beautiful:

Of course it doesn't hurt to have a kick-ass bass player playing it...

Those basses are sexy, I like the 5 string version as well. Too much money for me to justify owning one though right now.

Whenever I see one of these at NAMM I drool. I do miss my $$, maybe I need another 'Wick in my life.

It does not sound anything like I thought it would. I love it

I've played both the german and korean versions in sydney, and now I'm saving up for one. Probably the Korean - almost as good, and not so far out of my financial reach.

If you get a chance to play one yourself, take it!

I've been gassing for one of these for quite a while. This video isn't helping!

Too expen$ive though

Does anyone know the string spacing at the bridge on the Star 5??? I get no response from Warwick :-(

 

[millsbass5]

WOW! That slap tone just kills!! Not what I was expecting,at all!

 

[TNCreature]

What is the street price for these?
It is nice to look at.

I played a Korean star 5 at namm 2011 and bought the exact one after I got back. It's amazing, haven't seen another one and I'm really surprised-

Oh....my avatar is the bass as well-

Single cut, too...

 

[Kwesi]

Well now... I think I've found the only gibson-style hollowbody bass I have any interest in owning.

Anyone know???

 

[Avezzano]

you can set the spacing as you like, because the (black) slots in each saddle are movable sideways.

this is not from a Star Bass II, but I think it's the same bridge; looking "from the pickups", you can tell that there is a hex screw that holds the movable part of the saddle in place:

After seeing all of those, I agree that the Warwick is only one that I would ever own too.

 

[Avezzano]

"never say never", remember! When you'll play a solid Starfire, you'll take that back!

 

[seedokebass]

They're making a singlecut version? Badass!!!
