YEAH!!! Warwick!!!

i was told it is Bubinga but maybe not....
How heavy is it? My Bubinga Standard was REALLY heavy. My $$ is normal (if there is a normal).
Why would anyone paint Bubinga? I'll be honest, I just saw them in the music store and didn't pick one up, so seeing it painted I assumed it was the same body as a $$. They look the same.
Some salesmen don't know their *** from a hole in the ground.
 
Any peice of unfinished wood (natural) needs to be waxed (the fretboard needs to be oiled) You can wax it once a month or so... And oil the fretboard every string change (they say a little bit of oil works... But I usually go nuts and oil it real good with linseed oil and let it sit for an hour or so them rub off the excess) Make sure you get all the excess oil off the fretboard or your strings will go dead fast :P

And congrats on the warwick... The second I layed my hands on my 6 string thumb... I was in love :D I have yet to find another bass that compares to mine :)
