I'm going to try and restring it with DR Sunbeams to match my Stage I and do a bit of comparison recording. Then again how do you decide if it is the bass (ie body wood, neck and fingerboard) or the electrics (MEC + MEC 'v' EMG + Tonepump). I am looking forward to this.

noisedude Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I remain happy for you but the reading of the first post in this thread was a peculiarly disappointing experience for me.

warwickhunt Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 You bunch of heartless vultures! Well I have it... It is an absolute given that on any given thread on a bass forum if anyone has to describe the neck of a Warwick that the term 'clubby' will be used by the vast majority of contributors... Yes? Well how come this Spector neck is BIG compared to all of my Warwicks? I'm not slating it but it was the very first thing that sprang to mind when I picked it up (the first thing that sprang to mind when I opened the case was Phwarrgh). Nor do I necessarily think it is a bad thing... just unexpected! Quite a Precision(ish) D shape in profile, I've got a mate who I've been meaning to get a micrometer off so it'll be interesting to make a comparison. I've yet to play it plugged in but acoustically it is very different (mellower) to my Stage I which I'll be making direct comparisons with. This could be down to string choice so I'll reserve judgement till I've strung it with the same strings as the SSI (DR Sunbeams). Watch this space.

GreeneKing Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ooh good. My Warmoth Jazz neck is very deep and great to play. We need a photo John. Fingers crossed for tomorrow then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 I do have to confess that I find the Warwick 'interpretation', actually made a few minor improvements but hats off to Mr Spector and Mr Steinberger for a fantastic job in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
