BigRedX Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've played the fretless one that was in the Bass Centre in London when it was still a real shop on a couple of occasions. By far the nicest sounding and playing Warwick, I've ever had my hands on. However it's not at all like 'normal' Warwicks in sound, looks or playability, so if you're a fan of the more common Warwick basses you might not get on at all with this. I normally can't stand Warwicks. but this one pretty much ticked all the boxes for me. The one box it didn't tick was value for money. The Bass Centre wanted just under £4k for theirs and it was starting to show some signs of shop wear. Bear in mind that for that kind of money you can get pretty much any bass you want except for a few of the very high-end makes or a really good original vintage Fender (if that floats your boat). In the end I said nice but not nice enough at that price for an 'off-the-peg' instrument and had a custom Sei made instead for quite a bit less money.
