xilddx Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 This is so me Got this today of another BC member. I gave it a thorough clean and lemon oil. Put a brass JAN III on, and strung it with DR Black Beauties. This thing is a beast! Fabulous tones! It's got a dodgy barrel jack though, it cuts out if you wobble the jack lead. I doubt it will be ready for Kit's EP launch which is a real shame. Never mind. It has an ebony fingerboard which I love, I can't stand the look of wenge boards. I think the contrast of the ovangkol and ebony with the chrome is just wonderful, the organic against the mechanic. Superb!

12stringbassist Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have to agree on the utter fabulousness of these basses. One of my top three.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Love the look of it, but the real problem for me - fingerprints ! I hate shiny surfaces that aren't spotless and I think it'd be nigh on impossible to keep clean without it being in a display cabinet .

warwickhunt Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Dodgy jack socket... the scourge of Warwick basses! Be sure to fit a good quality one (Switchcraft or better) as it's false economy to fit a cheapy ([size=1]or dare I say another Warwick one[/size] ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You know, I always wondered if the neck was chrome also... I think I'm pleased it isn't, as the contrast works well; but a full chromic would have brought on the disco. I like it a lot, Nige. I could never pull it off, but am glad someone, somewhere, can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Been stroking the old streamer tonight as it happens, with other people in the room too! Seriously, first rehearsal with it tonight, it's completely comfortable, a delight to play, and it sounds like a mammoth! Best bass I've ever had, utterly wonderful to play! I just adore it! Strangely, not a single member of my band said anything about it, so it's clearly not that flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wonder why they said nothing? Here's Nigel's band by the way, folks: [attachment=90735:Couple70sDisco7500.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pietruszka Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Stunning bass! I played that one not too long ago! Dom mentioned he enjoyed his visit Silddx, it really does have a tremendous sound!!

That's really nice of Dom to say too.
