A great system, I think I'll implement a similar system and ask others to do the same on my feedback. Top notch

Hard to tell Bootsy. I've been a fan of Warwick basses for as long as I can recall. The German made basses are extremely well built, solid, made of choice woods, beautifully finished and preform perfectly in the bassists arena. I've never tried a Korean one and can only guess from experience that the basses will indeed look the same and to the novice sound more or less the same but they definitely won't feel and growl like the real thing ( that X factor they have ). I think it's great to have accessible, cool basses that imitate their more professional inspiration. The Koreans will be great, but maybe not so great when A/B tested with the real thing. Just my thought Go For a second hand Germany made model is what I'd do.

Im not aware of Backline hire companies in this neck of the woods, best thing to do is contact the local music shops Cranes (Swansea) [font=arial, sans-serif][size=1]Unit 9-11 Saint Davids Square, Swansea, W Glam SA1 3LG[/size][/font] 01792 654840 Rowlands Music www.Rowlandsmusic.com Between them they will know who's doing what in the area. Hope it helps Col

The second hand prices indicate in increase in demand

Standing on the shoulders of giants indeed. They are all excellent and very different, long may variety reign. All in the name of progress!!

Agreed. A thing of beauty. He's also got a 5 string Rogue which is a real stunner.Then again he's stocking some of the best basses available these days and he's seen my credit card details more than once
