PauBass Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I've heard about this basses before, they are quite popular amongst Spanish bass players... I'm also member of the Guitarramania Forum (Spain) and people talk really well about them... If you check Windmill's site Musicians section you'll see this guy: Charlie Moreno, he's got he's own custom model, "Windforce Charlie Moreno". Check his YouTube site and judge the bass (...and the player!) by yourself: [url="http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=charliegroove&p=r"]http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user...egroove&p=r[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) I don't want to be a fly in the ointment here...I mean, they look nice enough, some of the pickup configurations look interesting, but a quick glance at the price list (plus the option of a preamp for 200 additional euros) made my heart sink somewhat. Q. Why aren't people just getting a little tired of paying vintage prices for what are essentially a bunch of Fender copies? Sure, if they want to offer me an endorsement, I'll take a JMBass Custom 4-string, natural finish, with an additional MM pickup in the neck position too. No, make that a 5 string. I am on the cover of Bass Player after all. I deserve something free after all these years playing!! Much love P x Edited July 13, 2007 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 If you're ever in South London, they had a few in stock in Gig Sounds last time I was there. Didn't get a proper chance to try one out thanks to the ars*y store manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
