BigRedX Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I tried one a Music Live in 2007. Overall impression was that it was big and lumpy. I'm a fairly small bloke though.... Couldn't tell you about the sound because as you know with these shows the overall 'ambience' is of massed shredding guitarists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 even in the relatively small listing photo's the bass looks very 'chunky'. i like the look of chunky, dunno if i could live with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I totally can't cope with single cut basses. They are just disturbing, like seeing your granny naked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cytania Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have one, search on Spear GAS for my old thread. The idea of single cut is pretty simple. You get a stiffer neck and certainly my Spear vibrates like a rampant rabbit. Growltastic. Spear have also really skewed the top bout so placing your hand is really natural finger style. I suspect mine is an early one as the blue Bay picutre lacks the 'mute' switch. Spear are also doing a trans red, blonde and nautral finish.

peted Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Warwick are holding a public design competition to design them a singlecut. Their intention is to make it a production model sometime in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for any other single cut basses, I would rather see my granny naked, and she's been under ground for thirty years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotnwhy Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 just like warwickhunt i love singlecuts. and think that estate cars look much, much better than saloons! The Audi A4 Avant, Volvo V40 and Subaru Impreza estate are 3 of the best looking cars around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I tried a spear singlecut, it did feel a little lumpy in the body, but it also played very nicely and had a huge growly sound, very nice for the price!

OldGit Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Why do Warwick need to do a competiotion and take such a long tim .. I'm not keen on the OP bass but Dood's Shuker "The Doodle" is a great shape. I think it would be just as fab as a 4 or 5 ha ha had to pst that pic - such a giggle Edited February 20, 2009 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
