    So people only really need to decide if they're more worried about their image or their playing skills.

    This sort of debate is reminiscent of the 'Canon or Nikon' debates on photo forums when the reality is that it's completely irrelevant and neither will make or break a photographer. The important thing is to learn the craft of taking good photos. Same with bass playing. What's that old saying about poor workmen always blaming their tools?[/quote]


    Whilst I see your point, I don't do any recording and it's just for gigs. I'm sure you agree that one has to both sound good and look the part on stage, otherwise ya don't get booked again :)

    I'm certainly not blaming my tools for my lack of skills as a bass player! That one's all on me...

    [quote name='LemonCello' post='1239014' date='May 21 2011, 09:32 AM']I've had a Warwick and several Fenders and it does depend on the type of music you play. The Warwick I had - Corvette $$ had a huge tonal palette and was good for Heavy Metal right through to Funk. With a Fender (and like Lozz I'm a Precision fan) you know exactly what sound your gonna get and they are utterly reliable. My USA P with flats is great for the bluesy stuff I play so no need for the clever Warwick. I just couldn't get on with the cricket bat neck and lack of fret markers in the end. I also don't really like small bodied basses.
    It really is down to personal taste.

    I have a Korean made Squier 50th Anniversary P which is in mint condition Black and Rosewood and it plays like a dream. I might be persuaded to part with it if you are interested?

    I have the Warwick Corvette $$ and yes, it is a fantastic bass. But I'm pretty sure it would be illegal for me to only have one bass :) Nah really, I love the look of Precision basses, and they feel so great to play.

    Yeah, I love my Warwick as well

    This all came about because a while ago I saw the Matt Freeman squir and had a bad case of GAS. So I set about building my own look-a-like from parts... But the quality doesn't come close. I'm wondering whether I should have just bought what I originally wanted in the first place...?

    Horses for courses mate... there's nothing sh*te about Roto's. I have tried DR's, Ernie's, La Bella's, all sorts. Didn't like any of them, been using Roto's since then.

    Damn that's a nice looking bass! Wish I had some spare cash!

    Also, funnily, it's the first bass that my Mrs has said she really likes the look of, out of the (probably) hundreds of basses that I've shown her over the years :)
