The Warwicks I have owned and played were all phenomenal quality instruments. They play light, are really easy to set up and usually allow for ultra low action and lots of playing comfort. BUT Warwicks have a sound all their own. I found they were a bit too perfect for their own good. When digging in they would just get louder but not snarl or growl (they do have an always growly midrangey character though). They keep sounding articulate and clear at all times, at all positions across the neck. This is not for everyone. After laying hands on a Fodera NYC Empire, which is essentially an active jazz bass with Mike Pope pre, I decided it was time to say goodbye to Warwicks. This bass is much more responsive and full of character. It translates what I throw at it into sound better in my opinion. Moral of the story: Warwicks are awesome, but not everyone will like their characteristics.

I don't want to be a smartass but words can never really properly describe any dirtbox now can they... Would LOVE to hear some of its possible tones with both passive and active basses. Are there any clips available anywhere yet?

It looks like an interesting pedal. Will be checking the toob for any tests/reviews in the next couple of days. The idea of mixing od and fuzz may not be new, but adding the clean with low pass is most probably making the unit sound very proper! The combination of these aspects develops GAS tbh and I consider Alex as an honest, hard working guy.

My Trace Elliot RAH600SMX. It is AWESOME! Out of all amps I have tried only the Hexa Valve beats it. I never liked the Ampeg sound much. Taste.

I'm still using heavy old amps after trying a bunch of lightweight ones and not liking them. Only the cab is now light (Barefaced Big Twin II gen 3) Playing with IEM's does not inspire me to rock out at all. Rock & Roll just needs to be loud and sweaty. So to each his own I guess, My basses sound better through a real rig.

The headstock on Sire jazzbasses. They play and sound really nice but I can not be seen with a headstock as ugly as those. My Tech21 amp bounced off my cab while I was playing, I had to stick it on top of the cab using velcro. WTF? Now I am back to using my old Trace Elliot amps. So: lightweight amps put me off. They are too light to be practical.

For sure this has a lot of impact. The strings will ring out longer and the colouration of tone changes too if the neck is more sturdy. At least if I can judge from the differences in tonal character I hear between my Fodera Jazz (maple neck, ash body) and the Zon Sonus (carbon neck, ash body) which are both 34" and have the same strings and pickup config. The all wooden Fodera sounds warmer and gels better inside mixes while the Zon sounds ultra articulate and snappy. This occurs both acoustically and amplified. I strongly believe the neck plays a huge part in these different sound qualities.

I have had dead spots on basses with really dense body woods so there's no guarantee. Higher/ lower mass bridges can both help when a dead spot exists but I do not think either can be considered better then the other in that scenario. Resonant frequencies and standing waves depend on everything in the instrument that vibrates. Adding or substracting any mass will impact this but you can't rely on any of it to eliminate the possibility of dead spots occuring as resonance is the sum of many things.

Just in! Serial says 2015. Never has been played. Lowered the action quite a bit and the pups accordingly. The low B is MUCH WOW on it, so much definition!

Love the throaty quality of the NT.

Nice bass! But gawd I hate blue leds.

I have this particular Stingray 5 HS neck through coming in soon. Am so stoked!

Sold the 4003. Still got the v63.

I would deal with this nice guy any time. Very recommended. I sold my Warwick Dolphin Pro1 five string to Clément. Communications were quick and clear, everything went very smooth. Enjoy that Warwick beast, Clément!

Sadly adding the site to exceptions did not help. There is something wrong with the security certificate on the website. Edge and Chrome are now both blocking, even without Bitdefender interfering. Chrome is telling me the cert is invalid.

Max contacted and reassured me that everything is OK, just the website is not. After receiving his mail I further investigated the website with several browsers. With Google Chrome it refuses to load. With Microsoft Edge (which I mostly ommit) it does work. Google also tells me it is an unsafe site before it further refuses to load. Edit: It may be the Bitdefender AV plugin, too. Anyway, thank you Max for clearing everything up and I am looking forward to receiving my micro thumpinator.

Got an e-mail addres through the internet archive, opened a copy of the website from some months ago. Let's see the response through paypal first though.

I have asked for my money to be returned though paypal.
