RichF Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I am sorry if this has been covered but noticed these two new metallic Warwick finishes. Hate the bronze one but quite like the rusty one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldude Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm really struggling to hold my dinner in after seeing these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Whenever I tried a Warwick I was never taken by them, dunno why, from the most expensive to the cheapest none floated my boat. These last 2 examples drive me further away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I really like the rusty lookin one actually! Shame the basses themselves aren't suited to my playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not bothered about either really. Fair play the designers at Warwick are trying to think of something a bit different, BUT....... you can still do it tastefully! I bet they're mega overpriced too. I think the hardware on the rusty one looks cheap, and the pickup covers look like someone's had a go at them with a can of plastikote! Each to their own I s'pose. I'm sure there are people out there who think they're awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Truer words never spoken, when I went to work for WW I hated the chrome finishes, its amazing what seeing one everyday will do to a man!

dwh87 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 There is no harm in offering a finish like that. Probably a custom only spec with a limited production run to get a few dozen out there. The pricetag will probably be obscene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Some idiots pay for some pleb to 'roadwear' their bass. At least this is sort of a 'something-you-can't-do-yourself' finish, unlike roadworn, which anyone with a chisel can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Sometimes I hold my head in my hands and wonder where Warwick went wrong. They've been fairly dismal these past ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still rather have someone whose job it is to make the bass look that way and is paid well to do it do the work. The lacquering guy at Warwick (yes its one man) is a complete perfectionist. I have never seen a man take so much pride in his work as he does. You can bet these finishes whether to your taste or not are impeccable.

All you need is a dodgy handle on Warwick FlightCase and a pavement there ya go! Though i have to admit that you literally need to blow on the Nirvana Black Stain on my Warwick and it rubs off! So at least these finishes look a bit more 'robust'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
