stonecoldbass Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hey guys, posted this in the Bass Guitar section, but so far no luck so decided to stick it here in case it's gets more attention. Hello people! I bought this bass around 10 years ago from a music store in Glasgow, Scotland. It was my first foray into playing a 5 string so I wasn't wanting to spend a lot of money on it in case we didn't get on. I saw this hanging on the wall and thought it looked like a pretty nice bass, obviously a Warwick inspired design. I plugged it in (it was active) and although the neck felt a bit a bit chunky it sound pretty cool. The name on the headstock says 'Ventura', the guy in the shop said it was a prototype for a new line they were considering getting in. I played it all through Uni, and it has quite a grunty Warwick-y type tone. I guess the store never got the line in because I never saw any basses with that name in there again. I got it defretted about 6 months ago and the guy also thinned down the neck a bit which makes it way more playable. I also ripped out the active electronics so it's now just got 2 volumes and a tone control and sounds fantastic! So my question is, can anyone tell me anything about this bass or the company?? I have tried extensive google searches but nothing really turns up. Does anyone else on here own one?? I've attached some pics and an mp3 of the bass.
