TheGreek Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hideous things IMO but I know that some people like them... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Vampyre-Bass-Giutar/383886209654?hash=item596166b276:g:KYwAAOSwq69f8Qtm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Bit on the heavy side but suprisingly versatile - like a better sounding better looking more sophisticated Warlock. Sold mine but miss it.I can't see the attraction with Westone's or SGC nanyos (I find them blinking ugly) but I guess horses for courses.

prowla Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It is a RockBass, though, so don't get carried away on the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a Mk 1 but it did sound rather tasty. Not dull and lifeless like a BC Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I had Vampyre serial number 001 a few years ago, confirmed by Hans Wilfer to be the very first production Vampyre to leave the German build shop. It was an incredible thing... a millions miles from the Rockbass versions as it was built by the custom shop team at the time. Still quite like the look of them! This one I believe: I think I traded it with @alembic1989 years back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think it might have been... That Les Evans was a cool beast, unbelievably heavy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never played a heavier one. It made my leg go dead when playing seated. But what beautifully made beast of a bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
