Veils Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Fortunately I have joined a band which has a bit of a rep before things have even kicked off, probably due to the bands of the previous members. I decided yesterday that I may as well chance my arm at chasing up some endorsements, after all I have been endorsed through a band with much less clobber. So I decided to email Warwick.........low and behold I have been accepted!!!! I have to travel to Germany to go and meet the guys at their HQ, play on some gear and then have me a nice shiny new bass and maybe an amp too!!! I really cannot believe my luck!!!

mcgraham Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Congratulations! That's pretty awesome! Do you get to pick a bass, get to spec one out? Or are you issued one? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Lovely stuff presoul! Congratulations! You've supported their gear for quite a while haven't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've used Warwick basses in the past - as you can see from the av and I offloaded that to fund my Sandberg endorsement. Sandberg produce wonderful instruments, but already in the contact I have had with Warwick they have been far more approachable. To answer the question about the bass, I have pretty much free reign over what bass I have. Obviously I am not at the stage where I get it for completely free so it is up to me really what I want. But I already know I am going for a 5 string Streamer Stage I, and I would get it in Nirvana Black, but Darryl from Profane has exactly the same bass, and he filled in for me while I had a brief break from the band recently and he would probably think I am going to start stalking him so I am thinking maybe green......guess I will just have to see in the flesh what they look like!

Toasted Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) That's cool. Are you back with Veils? Warwick are always on the lookout for "metal" players to give endorsements, although IIRC they don't do 100% endorsements unless you're James Lomenzo. Something like 20% off dealer price, right? Joe.

Without wishing to be a wet blanket I seem to recall your(?) thread re the problems you had with Sandberg. Have you checked to make sure there is noting else in the deal that might scupper the Warwick deal (tie ins & the like). Good luck anyway Edited April 10, 2008 by WalMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well done. At least you should know what you are getting into this time, like whats in it for Warwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 If you like a certain bass config you should go for it! It's not like there can only be one of any type of bass out there. You could always ask/pay them to do some kind of custom work on it to set it apart from any others and identify it as yours; a fretboard inlay is perhaps a tad too cliche and common, but there may be something else you'd quite like? By the way are you going to go for Streamer $$ or the 'normal' Streamer? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veils Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah Joe, I am back in with the Veils boys. Things cooled off for a little while as I was having one or two personal problems which I had to deal with so Darryl Clarkson stepped into the breach and they contacted me recently to ask me if I was fit to come back. And no, it isn't 20% off dealer price As for the Sandberg thing, that deal was off a long time ago and I have all correspondence with them kept safe anyway I am soooooo excited about this!!

paul, the Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nice one, psn. Remember not to bad mouth the company once you're endorsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't think I am likely to do that As for the bass, I won't go for another $$, I will 99.9% certain go for a Stage I. The only other likelihood is a Streamer LX. I will be getting a coloured oil of some kind, just undecided as to exactly what colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
