[quote name='lemmywinks' post='718889' date='Jan 20 2010, 12:34 PM']I guess if you look at the work that goes into the higher end Warwicks the cost makes a bit more sense, after all a Fender is basically a bolted together slab bodied instrument with a forearm and belly schamfer, selling for nearly a grand. Warwicks have all the nice curves and rounded edges. Mind you Warwicks are mostly machined now aren't they? I think the Infinity deserves to be pretty pricey, it can't be easy to build what with the cavities and f-holes I remember a thread a while ago where a BCer took the scratchplate off his MIA Jazz to reveal a clumsy pickup rout which went all the way through to the control cavity. I think that's more shocking on a £900+ instrument than anything Warwick have ever done. Whatever they cost they're extremely well made basses and i doubt any corner-cutting like that happens[/quote] I think that was me.....but I'd still pick my Fender Jazz over any Warwick I've ever tried, for tone and playability. All Warwicks are machined except for the custom-shop stuff I believe, correct me if I'm wrong but that has been the case since the mid-nineties I think!?. Si

Bizarre Can anyone confirm or deny these.....I'm a skeptic! Si

Steve is a top top guy!! Great bass player, but more importantly for me, a fantastic musician and composer. Si

Sounds promising that they largely hold their price though....a rarity these days Si

Yeah why not get a price for a fretless neck build from the new Wal? Si

Ooooo, Pre-Production Deluxe. Do we think collectable to some degree? Si

This guy seems to make them [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAPLE-THUMBREST-TUG-BAR-UPGRADE-PRECISION-JAZZ-MUSTANG_W0QQitemZ230420351309QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item35a61f894d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAPLE-THUMBREST-TUG-...=item35a61f894d[/url] Si

Yeah will do mate! When Jon emails back saying he's posted it Monday, I'll ask if he has anymore specifics! Cheers Si

Still might pop along to this with the Mrs! Hope it doesn't sell out innit! Si

Light blue, rosewood & birdseye neck for me if I was to partake Si

Why limit yourself to covering other 3 piece bands? My covers band is fundamentally three piece (3 instruments plus a vocalist) and we play lots of different stuff, just means you get to have a bit more fun with your various parts!.......not overplay, but cover some more sonic space! Si

Nom Nom Nom, does anyone know what SR pickups sound like when wired passive? Si

[quote name='bass5' post='712837' date='Jan 14 2010, 06:14 PM']any before and after pictures?[/quote] There won't be any aesthetic differences as the issues were obviously all internal. When it's back and re-assembled...I'll post a pic of the bass again lol Si

[quote name='Musicman20' post='712190' date='Jan 14 2010, 02:02 AM']Not a comment just for this bass, but the entire new Warwick range is .... not to my tastes at all. Ive just seen some pics on their new 2010 basses. The Bootsy/Clayton ones are the worst by far hahaha.[/quote] I dunno, I think the Thumb SC looks ace, and to be fair to the Bootsy bass, it's just a paint job on an Infinity. Si

So Jon has seemingly fixed the neck!! He's posting it on Monday, so by Wednesday I'll have it back on the bass hehe.....but very gently. Slowly slowly catchy monkey and all that Horrah Si

Oh I wish they were passive Beauties! Si

Yup, if I've said it once, I've said it a million times, my US 4 standard is amazing, never played a better bass! So I'm hoping that the newer US standard 5's are as good with an extra string Si

I have the Squier CV Jazz and the body is same shape/size as my MIA Jazz! In fact, apart from the pickups/sound and the lack of through body stringing, I'd say it's as good! I do also prefer the size of frets on the MIA.....but my point is that the Squier CV's are ace Si

Lincoln Anderson in Essex, he plays with Steve Harley (Cockney Rebel), as well as other sessions/deps. Plays for a cool standards trio called The 3 B's, Reg Webb on keys. Very good friend of mine, amazing player and top notch guy Si

Very cool, my personal preference on this bass would be to replace the black tuners with chrome ones, not because I dislike black hardware, but just to match the bridge and knobs etc. But other than that, looks really great. I've put together two parts basses, one is in the hands of Mythste now, and the other has been toured and gigged extensively and is just awaiting the neck repair back from Jon Shuker. I found both basses really enjoyable to put together, especially when a lot of the parts come from guys on the forum....kinda makes it feel like a group effort using my money haha. Si
