Not sure if there's an import 5er but the German-made 4 is about $4000 and the Imports are about $1500.

Import "pro" series. Great bass, don't let korean send you running for the exits, true warwickophiles hate the idea of a non German but sorry guys, this thing is the ****-

Yea, that didn't sound too clear now that you mention it...I LOVE IT!! Great craftsmanship, balance, playability, tone, pickups, look, it's awesome. My point is i love the bass, not Warwicks in gerneral..THE BASS...its not your warwick wood cut from the great jungle of planet alderaan, so I don't judge the bass as a Warwick fanatic. I have 2 lulls, Am jazz 5, etc, it's on the team.
Looks pretty nice to me. Gotta wonder why that guy chose to play slap on a semi-hollow as a demo in the first half of the video.

+1..and followed by a pick. Sounds great and all but these sound best with finger playing- IMO of course-

I'm not clear on this. Are the saddles slotted to allow for wider spacing (I'm looking for 18 or 19mm center to center)?

Size looks alright still!
Could you maybe do a little review of yours?
I've fallen in love with the 5 string version I think.
How's the low B on this bass?
Conversion is no biggie, but the question is: is 25/8 based on the center slots of multi=slotted saddles (that will therefore allow wider spacing) or what? The current fender 5 bridge allows spacing adjustrable from 17.5 to about 19mm.
If you look with attention at the picture (I posted it earlier), you can tell it right away: you can move the little slotted saddle-in-the-saddle sideways (and lock them with the hex bolt) to satisfy any spacing need!
Here it is to you again:

Only thing is, if you go too wide, the B and G get too close to the fretboards edges.
