yeah thats my 3 year old son zakk,notice how he's choosing to grab a warwick over a korean bass,
pretty good taste for a 3 year old eh.

Well, as I said I have taken some pics of my '99 Corvette Standar 6-string under the spanish sun... wanna take a bath?

[marcbass]

Wooow Beautiful pictures there...

[Vast Piles]

Nice bass, however I would have been a little more careful. Basses can't swim... or at least the ones that aren't fish can't...

[SullenDoorNeal]

That was some mighty fine bass porn. Even better that it's a Corvette Standard (Yeah, I'm biased.)

I was just thinking, have any of you fine folks named your beloved axes? After a year of careful deliberation, I decided to name my bass "Artemis Moon."

[mala]

Just came back with a new baby - a brand new Thumb Ltd 2001. Very, very nice with ovankol body and bubinga top

[Jassco]

hi all !

Here is my WW Streamer LX 4 '98




my WW streamer Jazzman 5 '04 Custom shop (bubinga pommeled and ebony fingerboard)



And not warwick, but : Status S2 headless 6

[mala]

Sweet, sweet, sweet!

[JazzMan]

Love the blue streamer.

And I think the Status justifies inclusion as well!

Lovely basses.

[LX]

BEAUTIFUL Collections and AMAZING Basses, Gentlemen!

So...here is mine :D :D

I am f****** proud of it!!!











I LOVE IT!!

[bassplayer]

Awesome! I like it!

[marcbass]

Cool..
The Strings really makes the bass look cool..

Those are black DRs, not?

[LX]

Those are black DRs, not?

They are, yes.... really awsome Strings! GROOOOOWL

[Greg]

That fretless looks awesome with the black strings on it mate.

[wickedthumb308]

I noticed that the strings are tapered. Did you modify or do they come that way stock. Tapered strings are hard to find in my area. I really enjoy my black labels and was considering giving the black beauties a shot but afraid of losing tone and sustain. I have to admit that they do look good and would highlight the black hardware on my thumb V. What do you think?

[Malk]

does anybody know if the color on those strings (also blue and red ones) lasts long?

[LX]

I noticed that the strings are tapered. Did you modify or do they come that way stock.

I bought this strings and my anticipation was great until i noticed that the low B String didn't fit in the tailpiece...damn, i thought and so i phoned Warwick.
They said, that 1-2 of 100 bassist's have this problem and because of that they modified the tailpiece.
I send a mail to service@warwick.de and a few days later i got this new, modified one.
In the meantime i modified the low B String with my bench vise and now....i fits, as you can see :D

So all you need is patience, a bench vise, the modified/new tailpiece and - hopefully not - brute force to get this low B on your bass

...all other strings fitted perfectly.

And i strongly admit, that they WILL look great on your bass too!!

Good luck, son.

does anybody know if the color on those strings (also blue and red ones) lasts long?

These strings aren't colored...they're taped too, but before they were wound.
I think they'll last long enough to get the whole sh** out of them...then you'll need new ones in any case.

[SullenDoorNeal]

This thread is the greatest thing ever. Warwick pics are like porn to me and all this Warwick bass porn is making me want to go play with my Corvette some more. (I can't now, though, because my fingers are all blistered up. I LOVE IT!!!!)

[odominguez]

I was just thinking, have any of you fine folks named your beloved axes? After a year of careful deliberation, I decided to name my bass "Artemis Moon."

Well yes. My Custom Thumb 6 strings is named Scarlett and my Infinity LTD. 2000 is named Alessandra. Right now I'm waiting on my Tirumph bass but I don't have a name for that one yet.

[gottawalk]

Hokay. Just joined up and thought this would be a good thread to start off in. Here's what I've got;



Plays like a dream! I'm sold on Warwick!!!

[wickedthumb308]

LX, THANKS FOR THE ADVISE. I READ YOUR EARLIER THREAD ON TAPERED LOW B. I REALLY DONT WANT TO FILE ON MY TAIL PIECE. I WILL EITHER MODIFY THE STRING (FLATTENING THE END) OR SEE IF WARWICK WILL SEND ME THE A MODIFIED TAIL PIECE. I'LL LET YOU KNOW. PEACE

[Malk]

so maybe newer models will already have the modified tailpiece on?

[LX]

Wonderful Bass, you got there, gottawalk!!! Porn is exactly what i associate with this kinda basses.
I LOVE this fretless ebony necks, man!!! Just like mine....amazing.

Yeah, i didn't want to file the tailpiece either...it would be just like injuring myself :cry:

But without tapering the low B before i got the new tailpiece, i won't have fitted, so maybe you'll also have to.

I hope you'll post a photo, when it's done?!

so maybe newer models will already have the modified tailpiece on?

Warwick modified it about half a year ago so if your bass is younger, you should have this new one.

[Malk]

my corvette $$ is brand new, i am a bit worried because i play 4 string basses tuned in A (so lower than a 5-str) and already had some problems fitting a 110 string in my thunderbird :?

[Rotten]

here´s my beauty, or is it my beast?

it is a warwick masterman, nirvana black, oil finished, nearly 10 years old!









and I love it!!!

[4strings.to.choke.upon]

man, that skull looks disgusting! but your axe looks cute! :D so how does it sound like?

[Phyrexian]

What's wrong with this forum? I keep getting notification replies... and there's no new things in here. Weird.

[Rotten]

man, that skull looks disgusting! but your axe looks cute! :D so how does it sound like?

first of all, the bass is puristic in my opinion!

treble and bass can be controlled seperatly for each pickup, which is build in a humbucker style.

it has a very low end in the sound, but it is a strong tone, it is not muddy or something!

and the overtones are very rich! with some fx, like a mix of chorus and a little bit delay, i have the possibility to play some hooks out of heaven, lol!!

but u need to compress the signal coming out of the bass, because those sounds the individual strings is volume-moderately too different. or maybe it is my playing.

I run the bass through a 4x10 and 1x15 ampeg with a gallien krueger top! but I will increase the amplifier and will replace the boxes!

so long....

Rotten

btw. sorry for my awful english!!

[Charmand G]

Nice basses

Hey thanks, you too. Must have been a pain finding not one but TWO lefties!

Yeah, was a bit, but one of the things i love most about warwick, is you can get any bass in the range with the same options, with no upcharge. i am currently saving the pennies for a nice streamer S1

Tell me about it! I had to start with Yamaha, back in -96, just because nobody else could deliver a decent beginner-bass at an affordable rate. Now, it`s easier to get basses, but no to try brands.

... but I can understand the business....

[dragonbass]

[gottawalk]

Wonderful Bass, you got there, gottawalk!!! Porn is exactly what i associate with this kinda basses.
I LOVE this fretless ebony necks, man!!! Just like mine....amazing.

Yeah! I started out by finding a used Fortress 1 fretless and so much fell in love, that I traded it and some $$'s for this FNA, and I'm a Warwick lover ever since! I got a chance to try out a used Streamer Stage 1 with a pair of Bartollini's in it, (fretless-5), and I want it BAD! Can't afford it, yet, though...

[jester]

I finally got time to take some pics of my Streamers.

Streamer Jazzman '00 custom shop. Body is solid strips of Bubinga & Maple. 62 pieces in all. Only one of 8 made for 2000 NAMM show.

Hey, this is some kind of photographic fraud!
Unbelievable instrument! Hehe, I just hope the body doesn't fall apart on you in the middle of some gig. :D

[Vast Piles]

Holy smoke! Those are some unbelievably gorgeous Streamers! I especially favour the blue Streamer. Very very nice bass porn!

[mala]

Nick - post it, I also have a 2001 Thumb Ltd, a nice one but they differ in wood grain

Bubinga pommele top, swamp ash back, flamed maple board




I saw that JacobHamilton posted the same bass on page 6. I just C&P'd the description he wrote. I have never seen another one of these. I got mine used at Guitar Center. They had no idea what it was and I practicaly stole it!

2005 Corvette $$ 5-String
Swamp Ash Body, Honey Violin Stain w/ Satin Finsh, Ovangkol Neck




I just got this bass. It's not even a week old! I l o v e the sound of it. Still getting used to pickups. There is a lot more options then I am a customed to.
