far0n Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Suppose I should add that the three last basses are TM Stevens' , Bootsy Collins' and Stuart Zender's signature basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And blocks on a Maple 'board. Nice. But even better if they'd move the bridge pick-up closer to the bridge as on the Infinities and Dolphins. Gives a nice "tight" edge to the tone.

far0n Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think the signature models were all in the €4000-6000 bracket. Bargain ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 To me, these represent the worst of current Warwick. Along with that hideous Adam Clayton thing and the newest Jack Bruce bass. Oh, how I laughed when the Zender fans went wild, hearing that he had a new signature model in the works, only to see that monstrosity unleashed!

thunderbird13 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I suppose the Stevens and Collins ones would look "cool" if your 14 years old but my God the Zender one the guy with the ugly stick must have been doing overtime that day Edited November 12, 2010 by thunderbird13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 That Zender one is absolutely gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Warwick seem to be so taken for granted these days. I think they have destryed any mystique they may have had with their carpet bomb approach to publicity. What you get for you money on the standard German models is absolutely stunning. They have taken Leo's principles of simplicity, usability and good design to a much, much higher level. Almost everything on their basses is so well thought out, from the ergonomics to the top nut. They are the easiest basses to get set up to your needs, and quality control and construction is exemplary. Some of them look hideous, some are utterly beautiful. But some people have a problem with them. German efficiency producing what they think is a souless instrument? Who knows? I just know mine are lovely to play, sound great, and they have never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 BGM, I think, made a very salient point regarding the TM Stevens bass. It's a great instrument; and, as such it's priced in the pro-range; but when, necessarily, is a pro going to want to have that look? It's not exactly a mass market - or even a significant portion of that market - product. That said, it is a very 'honest' signature bass - the man has obviously had some significant input into the product; and fans will, as expected, very much welcome it. P-Nut had a much more 'accessible' signature bass, to my mind. That one I could have gotten the credit card out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T.M Stevens will surely have very limited appeal due to the finish-especially at that price. The Bootsy model is ok,but is really just an Infinity that's been painted.Also,when I think of a Bootsy bass,I'm thinking Space Bass not Warwick. The Zender model is pretty ugly,I think,and about 12 years too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Good to have confirmation of my P-Nut fancy, so to speak Should my wife ever return my credit card, it would be the one I'd invest in - I've played a grand total of two Warwicks, but never found the lust some of you have; well, barring this example.
