yorks5stringer Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I told a fellow Bass player in a Band at the Pizza Express in Dean Street I had a Warwick Star Bass. He asked me if I was into Bootsy Collins...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basshead56 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm definitely gonna be asking the nearest Warwick dealer about it. I think it looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It does look good but i think i prefer the Washburn Star Bass from 2003 which was more in keeping with the 1975 Larry Pless made original. I think the Washburn was limited to 100 and retailed at £1999 though. I wonder what Warwick class as 'affordable'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 That's...definitely something! Think I saw a very brief video with Andy Irvine playing this and it sounded pretty good. Definitely couldn't get past the shape though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I saw a very brief video with Andy Irvine playing this and it sounded pretty good. Definitely couldn't get past the shape though. [/quote] It ought to sound decent - it's essentially a standard Warwick H S bass with a non-standard body shape. The shape is pretty much the best thing about it IMO. Give it a year and Thomann will be selling them for less than half the original asking price. They currently have the MiK version of the Adam Clayton Reverso at 2/3s off, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
