Thanks for that review!

Joining this forum has been a real education. So many brands that I have never heard of. What can anybody tell me about [b]Spector[/b] basses they "look" similar to a Warwick in some ways. Are they a totally different animal? I see online some 80s affiliation with Kramer. Thanks

Thanks Evil Dead for your kind offer!

Thanks for all the replies and offers of try outs. I'm near Bath. l'll start looking around and maybe try out a few non-German. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. Would you folks say the necks model to model are consistent? I know my Fender bass necks pretty well (say, jazz vs. p-bass). Are Warwick necks "fat" like a p-bass or thinner profile like a jazz? I realise this may not be the best comparison . The only reason I asked is I guess I'm looking for a long scale if I want a German made, and will all the help I can get with my kiddie fingers. Thanks for your help.

I'm just starting the search for a secondhand Warwick and would like you know if any of you Warwick fans out there could help me out with some info. I'm looking for a German made, 4 string, and short scale. Model wise I'm not quite there yet as I imagine that there's only a couple of models they do in a short scale. Money wise, under a grand sterling. Does anybody have an idea what models I should keep an eye out for? With Warwicks, are the German made basses the only ones to go for (if you can afford it)? Thanks for your help.

GAS: I had to look that up. I have that from time to time.

Thanks for the welcome. Here are some snaps. I bought it off someone in Devon about 5 years ago. She had the pickup selector switch replaced with a "mixer knob", this was done at Mansons. Small scale; fits perfect in a Hiscox guitar case (can't remember what guitar the case is for originally). Great player - easy!

I'm new to the forum. Been playing 35 years; 1st bass a Hagstrom, then a slotted heastock Gibson EB-0 (1969). then lots over the years! Currently I have an early 90s Jerry Jones, 4 string longhorn in copper and I play it through a Trace Elliot Commando 15 (mid-90s). Pedals: DoD Envelope filter (bought in 1979) and EH Bassballs got at the same time as the DoD. Favourite bass players: Mike Watt and John Entwistle.
