[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1346763283' post='1792798'] I'm sure, for a medium sized fortune, Warwick can knock you up a custom bass... [/quote] Yeah, but it would be even better P shaped.

I like it too. Would be even better corvette shaped and with two P pickups (preferably Di Marzio) though.

I'll have a graphite necked energy 4 soon if you want a look? I'm in South Wales too, I know it's not a 5er but it might be useful.

Matrix means headed if it was me I'd go for a stealth I think. It looks like it would play the best of the 3, I can imagine the king bass being cumbersome by comparison and I don't like the idea of such a small body as the streamline.

It's got the basic 3 knob preamp, but I'm not too bothered about that. I'm a plug and play sort of guy, I tend to fiddle if there are too many controls. So aslong as its got some balls I'll be happy. The seller though says the neck profile is wide at the nut and with a fairly narrow radius, D shaped sort of and it's an S1 shaped one with jazz pickups.

It's a headed one btw, so that makes it a matrix right?

Sounds promising so far. How do they feel to play? Are they sculpted or slab bodies? Also being walnut are they heavy?

Hi Guys, I've been offered a graph necked energy 4 bass in a trade. Just after some opinions/info really. It would be a straight swap for a fender classic 50s p bass. I am after something modern, ergonomic light and with a punchy focused tone. I was originally after a Warwick $$ but how often do you get a graphite necked bass this cheap? I'm pretty tempted by it but having never played one what can I expect? Also what would you value it at? Thanks Ash

She's a beauty!

Id say get a shuttle, or similar class D hybrid and upgrade the tube. Valve tone without the cost or the weight.

I like the blue too. Are they the same pickups as in the reverse though?

Lovely bass! Not sure on the finish but that's just me.

The more I look at this the more I want one. There's just something about it. I don't know what though.
