Show us your Bass then!

[Martin Such]

I think that this particular fretless Corvette was on the cover of my first Warwick catalog back in 1998.

Holy ♣♣♣♣ !!! Kho you're alive man???

You were there when I first joined the forum and never saw you again . That Custom SS1 is like the Epitome of warwick Custom Shop (IMHO), the white LED, straight in the middle of the neck, is awesome.

Hey Flipper! Thanks! It's good to be back on the forum again... I'm glad to see so many people from back then are still on and contributing.

Not long after I got these CS basses I ended up getting out of music for a long while (the job I had at the time involved a lot of overtime work, to the point I couldn't keep up with the band) and just recently got back into playing regularly again with a new band. Hopefully we'll be able to start doing some shows in a couple of months, but it's definitely good to be playing again.

Here are my four. I just recently acquired the Streamer LX Jazzman on a trade (traded a five string CB Ball bass for it). I do miss the CB Ball fiver, but I'm using this 4 string much more than I ever did the CB Ball, so I guess it was a good deal.

Streamer Stage I 5 and Streamer LX Jazzman:




Corvette 6 string fretless and Corvette fretted 4 with Norstrand jazz and DarkStar pickups (Soon to be replaced with a Nordstrand MM pickup) and an ACG-02 filter-based pre:

That Custom Streamer Stage I is one of the most beautiful basses I've ever seen. AWESOME!!!
I would love to hear her sound... :-)

I've just bought a brand new Warwick Corvette 5$$ Special Edition Macassar from Germany. It is really nice!
I also have a Warwick Streamer LX JazzMan 5 CustomShop 2007.

Then there's the third Warwick, which is a Warwick Corvette ProLine 6string 1998-model (for sale)

After moving from The Big City (Metro-Detroit) to a Small Town (Columbus, IN. - Population 49,000) I needed something to keep me Company. So here are some of my German Friends!

1999 Streamer STD
This was a "Rescue Bass". I found it on CragsList. It had a Bowed neck, Rusting Strings that were tuned so tight they Should have broken, and covered with Sweat, Vomit, Feces, and bits of small dead animals. (No I'm not exagerating. Much...) But after disassembling, and Cleaning, Tweeking, and replacing the input jack I give you my *Favorite Bass! (*Under 8 Lbs!) This has an Ovongkal Neck, but the dimensions are EXACTLY the same as a Wenge Neck. It is an AWESOME Player!









1999 Corvette FNA
Honey, Ovongkal, Brutal Sounding!









1998 Corvette FNA
Red, Wenge, Plays Smooth, Growls while Purring!
Yeah, I've got 2 of these...Don't Ask! And I need to take New Pics of this one.






1996 Fortress Masterman
Red, Wenge, Jazzy Growl, like a Cool Cat on the Prowl!
My First Warwick. The pictures say it all!

[Florin]

I love the fortress bass!

[Maddanthony_59]

I love the fortress bass!

Thanks! I Jammed with it for 6+ Hours yesterday. We were breaking in a new guitarist. Fingers are Sore! But I'd do it again today if given the chance!

[allthumbs]

I have one of those basses that has bits of 'stuff' on it -- it came out of a prison. I've only cleaned it where it had to be cleaned. The rest of the grime adds to it's mojo. Plus, the layers of gung add to the sound ... yeah!

[Josh Emmons]

just got my thumb from a guitar center in phoenix! for $1199

Here is my full arsenal

1997 Warwick Streamer Lx





1993 Carvin Bunny Brunel Limited Edition BB75




1990s ESP Horizon II 5

[DiMarco]

Odd dot inlays on that Carvin man.. Looks really weird.
Which one is your main axe?

[Sbociol]

Yeah the inlays are supposed to be positioned as if it was a 4 string...looks cool to me and I've been playing the Carvin mostly,before getting the Streamer that is...they are very different tonallywise,the Carvin has a really amazing tone,bright and incredibly clear even on the B string,which is probably one of the best I've ever heard,not to talk about the tremendous output,the pick ups are actually humbuckers in J covers...on the other hand,the Warwick has the growl we all know and I still need to see how it goes with the band.

[meki]

'vette standard ash blu '04

[notlob]

Heres a (pretty bad) pic of my two basses and my two guitars. The basses are a 5 String Thumb NT (with a d-tuner on the B string to drop it down to an A) and a 4 String Corvette STD Fretless (also with a d-tuner to drop the E to a D).


and heres my current amp set up. My main amp is a GK GLX 410 cab w/ a GK Backline 600 head. I have a SWR LA-15 combo that I use for a clean amp.

[Vuk]

that's my first 'wick, corvette std swamp ash passive. <3

[DiMarco]

Nice 'vette there Vuk! I love the natural finish with black hardware.

[Vuk]

Nice 'vette there Vuk! I love the natural finish with black hardware.

Thanks, DiMarco! I wasn't really into that swamp ash + chrome hardware combination... it was kinda lame for me. But i think that the black hardware gives the swamp ash 'vette a total new look
you have a dolphin and a thumb nt...oh man, you are such a happy man. Two beautiful basses.

[DiMarco]

Yep. One happy camper here. And in a week or two I will be joining the Corvette club as well. But more on that later

[Hallbatross]

Here are some of my best friends

[Florin]

Nice family :-)

The TRB is too fun to let it go, right?

[Hallbatross]

Nice family :-)

The TRB is too fun to let it go, right?

Thanks Florin! Yeah, the TRB is an amazing bass. I call it "The beauty and the beast". I have had for several years and have often considered selling it because it doesn't get the attention it deserves. But every time I sit down and play it I change my mind because of the amazing tone. About a month ago I decided I wanted to start playing it more regularly so I swapped out the old tarnished gold components and upgraded to all black: Hipshot Ultralites & A-Bridge, Warwick strap locks, and matching control knobs. It was a fun project and it looks great IMO. The only "problem" now is that the Infinity came in a stole all the attention away from everybody Here are some before/after pics of the TRB:

[plantbrain]

Older nobby, thinking about selling it though.

Tom
