SGplayer1994 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I don't know much about bass guitars, but those are some big @$$ pickups! I really like the wood though, the natural finish with that set through neck being made of a different wood (maple or birch maybe?) adds a beautiful contrast.

[/quote'] The pickups are big on the sound side too. The body is Bubinga and a Maple neck with Ekanga veneer stripes. Wenge fingerboard too. It plays like a wet dream lol. My wife bought me it 2 years ago. Haven't wanted to play another bass since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 A wenge fingerboard? Man, Cruzn's gotta find out about this one. Sweet looking bass you've got there, Swleary! I've been looking at this one for a while: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 My wife wouldn't buy me the regular Warwick Corvette. She insisted the Bubinga was more pretty. It is and ya it does play much better than a regular Corvette but it is $1100 more. I wasn't going to argue with her. " Yes dear I'll get the more expensive one" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackH Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 wow man thats one awesome bass, i have heard that warwicks are the best basses around nowadays, it must be true because victor wooten uses them. and also i was just wondering what the two switches above the pots do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks Everyone. The two little switches near the volume/tone knobs? omg I didn't notice those before, how did they get there? lol Sorry had to joke. Those are coil splits. Two big humbuckers and I can split the coils on them too. Extremely versatile bass with some very serious tone. I always wanted a Warwick since the mid 90's but never got around to getting one.Finally the wife said, "lets go get it ,I'm buying it for you" . I sold my two Ibanez basses in less than a week. I had a really nice Ibanez SR505 from the mid 90's, only 100 left in existence, that got sold real fast. I haven't regretted getting the Warwick one bit. Are Warwick the best basses around? No..... but I love mine. If I ever do decide to get another bass, it'll be an F-Bass ,google that lol . The Warwick will probably be my last bass but who knows down the road lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have a friend who plays a Warwick (natural color) bass. Says they are the best around & i take his word for it. Looks really bad-*** too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swleary Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 I would love to try a Gibson bass but they are hard to come by around here. Epiphones are the closest thing around. Ibanez, Fender,Peavey and Warwick are the normal around here. Warwick has been around for years, started as Framus. Still not that well known as much as some of the above basses. Warwick just came out with a Corvette model for under $1000 Usd, wouldn't mind trying that. Could be a great backup bass lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 A wenge fingerboard? Man' date=' Cruzn's gotta find out about this one.[/quote'] Yeah...and I betcha you made that "wenj wenj wenj" noise you make whenever you see that word, too.

Cruznolfart Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Don't tell Cruzn's' date=' he'll be here giving me a hard time lol [/quote'] Never...at least not for having such a sweet bass. Even though a month after ordering my SR5000 I STILL don't have it. No I'd never bag on ya for that. Nor for the fact that you have a wenge fretboard...a very desirable wood, don'tcha know. My bass2B is capped front and back with wenge, as well as having the wenge fretboard. But I don't have it yet. And if you pronounce it "wenj", yer as big a horse's patoot as XDemonNightynite!

I'm stoked about the new SR5000, if it ever gets here, but I'm already looking very seriously at the Rob Allen Mouse Bass, a short-scale that sounds so close to an upright that it'd fool most non-playing listeners. And, if I live long enough, I think it'd be a serious kick to learn upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite content with what I have for now but maybe gas will get the best of me later on down the road. A nice fretless would be very cool or an octave bass would be even cooler. Ok Cruznolfart....you are not supposed to plant those seeds in my head, could be a very bad thing for me lol. Personally, the next thing I learn to play will be a Cello, that's something I've always wanted to play. Hmmm could be sooner than I think lol.
