[quote name='steve-norris' post='376558' date='Jan 11 2009, 12:51 AM']Neck wood could be one factor, Warwicks are often described as having growl in abundance and feature hard dense woods such as wegne and laminate construction. This also gives a very stiff neck ( My dolphin suffered from too little neck bow when using .100's) so perhaps the stiffness of the neck is more of a factor than the material, perhaps people with experiance of carbon necks might shed some light on this.[/quote]
My stingray has more growl with its carbon neck than it did with its maple neck

this is giving me a real headache! i came very close to buying a black/rosewood one a while ago, and this has come at just the right time really, but then again that ovation magnum dangerboy is selling is also very, very tempting, hmmmm!
[quote name='chris_b' post='376054' date='Jan 10 2009, 12:21 PM']Sorry, but what can Fender, or anyone else, do to a bass to make it worth nearly £2000?[/quote]
also a good question
the member on here Higgie has tried one before and says its not bad, but nothing particularly special, which puts me off a little as he knows his gear! But i await a nice review agoulding! and sound samples
btw this might be of interest [url="http://www.ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/Magnum%20Bass%20Owner%20Manual/Magnum%20Bass%20Owner%20Manual.html"]http://www.ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/M...r%20Manual.html[/url]
