[i]I'm a big fan of the original early Warwick Basses[/i] and own some of them but I'm very disappointed with the way the company took since the mid 90s
The once coolest basses in the world are having a time of disrespect in the bass community because of their fall in quality and rise in price.
If you check new bands, nobody is using Warwick today, no music store stocks them and their (affordable) range is poor quality compared with
(for example) Spector Basses of the same price. (Spector is also making shi..., but their top instrument don't have the silly Warwick prices)
The beginning of the problem started with the unavailability of wenge during the 90s until not long ago and the highly automated process in the
manufacture that killed the instruments real soul.
Lots of players in the last 20 years had very bad experiences trying Warwick Basses with very uncomfortable fat necks for an instrument of that
price and more if you ever experienced one of their instruments of the golden age.
Hope someone at Warwick is reading this and this helps them to recover from a bad period like Fender and Gibson had in the late 70s early 80s.
The problem many companies done was overstock the market with their Chinese/Korean/wherever production and now the world is full of crap
instruments nobody wants, with no resell value and giving a bad impression of the brand their represent.
Too many new models with horrible shapes, too many sponsors that are actually the only pro users of Warwick Today................
