Have you ever wondered about the process behind building Warwick basses and Framus guitars? Here's a link to our Factory Tour information page, with a quick video about the tour! Enjoy, and hopefully we'll see YOU on a factory tour sometime soon! http://www.warwick.de/modules/infos/info.php?katID=24107&cl=EN Thanks!

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]For those of you who've asked where they can find Warwick instruments. I wanted to announce a very special service...Warwick & Framus will have instruments available through its own Online Store! All instruments will be available for purchase through the web-store, world-wide, beginning July 1st! For those of you who've had trouble finding a local dealer or distributor, you can now buy direct. We are very pleased to be able to bring direct sales to our customers. Keep an eye out, and look for the updated Online Store in the coming days! Thanks for your support![/color][/font][/size]

BSB: Standard string spacing on a 5-string Warwick bass is 16.5mm. (A four string is 19mm, and our 5 & 6 string Broadneck is 20mm). Please let me know if you've got any other questions. Thanks!

warwickhunt, yes you are correct! You can see a picture of the Fortress Flashback with the 2Tek bridge on our website, here: http://warwick.de/modules/news/NewsSingle.php?id=1214&katID=14484&cl=EN Thanks for pointing that out!

Warwick recommends a pickup height of 2mm with the strings depressed at the highest fret. You can see this in a video here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AZp1xSgF7A&feature=plcp[/media] I hope this helps, please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with. Thanks!

The Warwick Katana is really fantastic! Its design makes it very comfortable to play, and it was named after the Japanese Samurai Sword "Katana" because of its ability to cut-through the mix! The combination of woods and construction methods make it really stand out from the Warwick line-up. If he's wondering about feel...it is designed for comfort! Scott Reeder is our latest endorser to order a Katana! Let me know if I can assist in any way. Thanks!

Wow! Now there's a Warwick you don't see every day! The Fortress Flashback...incredible. Please keep us posted if you pull the trigger. Thanks!

Just 6 days left in our giveaway...make sure to enter the contest for your chance to win a Robert Trujillo Artist Series 5 string bass! Thanks!

This is shaping up to be an incredible event! I look forward to meeting up with as many BassChat members as possible! The company has been buzzing in anticipation...its really going to be a special time for everyone involved. Please let me know if I can assist anyone in any way. Thanks!

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1340459373' post='1704732'] Warwicks marketing is world class. On a par with BMW. And their endorsee list is the envy of most bass manufacturers. All they need is Vic Wooten, (they have Reggie) and that would be that. I reckon it's only a matter of time. [/quote] [quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1340459940' post='1704743'] I find Warwick marketing actually pretty factual compared to some other brands. Nothing wrong with them. [/quote] This is very nice to hear...thanks for the comments! We feel that our products speak for themselves, without the need to add scantily clad ladies or similar things to our ads. Marketing is a necessity, but honesty and factual information are enduring qualities that appeal to all markets. Thanks again!

Hi Matt, Your fretless Fortress sounds fabulous! Great tone and very tasteful playing. Thanks for sharing!

bartelby, You've done an amazing job restoring this Corvette! Its great to see it brought back to its former glory...thanks for sharing!

Thanks Paul! Yes, it might be a bit of a trek for some...believe it or not, I've already heard from someone who is driving over 1000km to attend! BTW, its the day following the Warwick Bass Camp, so those interested in the Bass Camp can attend BOTH events!

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1340106075' post='1699092'] I've already got that week booked off work.............. for a wedding anniversary week-away. I wonder if the wife would class a bass camp as romantic? [/quote] Why not? ; ) Markneukirchen is a lovely little town...it could be considered quite romantic! I mean, if she really loves you............ok, maybe not the best idea!

[quote name='wriggers' timestamp='1340058292' post='1698599'] By the way I can't find the above link. The previous link is in German-is there an English link please? [/quote] Sorry about that! The link I posted got buggered by added punctuation. Thanks bluejay for the repost. I've edited my last post to reflect the change, with proper link! Hope to see many of you there!

Thanks for the replies! We have been doing some testing on a 32" scale with low B. The results have been very promising, and if it seems there is enough interest we may move towards production with this option. I received a fair amount of requests from Talkbass members, and wanted to see what the consensus was from BC members. Keep the comments coming! Thanks!

Hi Marcus - Welcome to BC! We look forward to hearing more from you...how about some pics of your Warwicks!

Hello Stavros - All the details are on the page that I linked, http://basscamp.gitarrebass.de/index_e.html The cost is €399 which includes the camp tuition and hotel. You can join by following the link I provided, and following the steps for registration (At the bottom of the page it says: register here). Its that easy! Please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with...hope to see you there!

Dear All, I received quite a bit of interest/requests from members of the Talkbass forum about the potential for having a 32" or 30" scale 5 string made, specifically in the Rockbass line. Warwick currently offers the Corvette 4 string in 30" and 32" scale - and the response has been great. I took the requests from Talkbass members to the Warwick design team, and in 2 weeks later received word they had done some research and testing, and it would indeed be a possible. So - Let's hear it from members here: What is your level of interest in an affordable 5 string 32" medium scale (or 30" short scale) bass? And, what model(s) would you like to see it developed on? Corvette, Streamer, Fortress? Everyone interested, please post here - and maybe we can make this bass a reality! For anyone interested, the Talkbass thread is here: [size=4][font=Calibri, sans-serif][url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/official-medium-scale-bass-club-402028/index25.html"]The Official Medium Scale Bass Club[/url] Near the end of the thread.[/font] [font=Calibri, sans-serif]Thanks![/font][/size]

Hi Paul, The camp is designed for all skill levels. There will be a variety of teaching methods, taken from the various backgrounds of our instructors. The full group will be broken down into smaller groups, and will rotate between paired instructors, master classes, group lectures, and more. There will be a lot of information presented, and our lecturers intend on it being within everyone's grasp. In short, everyone is welcome! We hope to see you there! Please let me know you've got any other questions, or if I can assist in any way. Thanks!
