Ashborygirl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yum! In that first picture it looks like the strings are touching the pickups, is it just the angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Usually repelled by Warwicks (knobby top bouts!) & also by spangly finishes, so should absolutely hate this! But I am strangely drawn to it, it is rather wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foulala Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Year of the bass : 1996 and it seems to be a pure product of WW Custom Shop ... You can ear it in the first post. Vidéo of my friend "Kasco" added, and it's my bass on the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Just curious. I have half a dozen interested in my Rick, but as yet it's not sold and even if this hasn't gone, I can't move until the Rick goes. Many thanks for your help though cheers, Karl.
