G.D. Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm interested in getting one, probably the Rock bass version, probably 5 strings, but maybe not. Before I even try and hunt one down to play test what are opinions on them (not the shape as that is a really personal choice but playability / sound etc) ? cheers for the input GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 My stepdaughter has one. Leaving aside the shape of it, it's an OK bass but there are far better instruments out there for £500... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Don't know why people don't like the shape! Personally one of my favourite looking basses, and i've always had GAS for a Warwick Vampyre 5, not played one but heard one, and the tones are quite punchy in the low mids, classic warwick sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have the German SN4 which I love. The sound is great (or at least I like it) with plenty of Warwick character, and it plays well. From what (relatively little) I've heard from the Rockbass versions, they sound reasonably similar for the money. I considered one not too long ago but ended up not buying a new bass at all. Worth finding one to try, I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Anyone remember the Vampyre saga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Ooooh yes. And the moral of that saga is ..... er, no, sorry, I'm not sure what the moral is! Edit: For those who don't remember the saga: make yourself a nice cup of tea, find a comfortable chair, and read this: [url="http://forum.warwick.de/24-basses/6515-vampyre-alert-not-ad-please-help-me.html"]http://forum.warwick.de/24-basses/6515-vam...se-help-me.html[/url] Edited February 11, 2011 by mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
