Jondeeman Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1318361155' post='1401210'] The reason is that it has 5 strings [/quote] God gave me five digits on each hand and five toes on each foot. Lower mammals are less sophisticated... same's true of my bass. Still a butt ugly Warwick though. Quote
leschirons Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='Ben Jamin' timestamp='1318360684' post='1401200'] Good luck finding a gigbag for that! [/quote] I think I see one in the picture already Quote
Ben Jamin Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1318364599' post='1401278'] It's alright son we'll knock them out anyway someone will be daft enough [/quote] See that's the funny thing - they've actually been discontinued. Apparently they weren't that popular. I guess five strings really aren't for everyone... Edited October 11, 2011 by Ben Jamin Quote

lee4 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1318342210' post='1400838'] The one Warwick did for Bonio's mate must be a contender? [/quote] The only bass to make me angry.I would want to grab the owner of one of these unspeakable piles of fecal matter and scream at them"Why?Have you really got more money than sense?Please tell me that you are playing this for a dare." I would then wipe my spittle-flecked lips,and twat them one. Quote
Ben Jamin Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Less is more? Those transparent cabs are kinda cool though! Quote
Grassie Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 + 1 for singlecuts. They always remind me of a sperm whale, especially that Warwick Thumb SC. Speaking of Warwicks, isn't the Dolphin the same as the Reverso, just with the corners sharpened? Still an awful, lazy design though. Quote
LawrenceH Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Keep misreading this as 'Could you be the worst looking bassist in the world?' What about the most beautiful person playing the worst looking bass? (Yeah I know, the other way round is a lot easier, but a lot meaner) Who's got the biggest contrast between their own gorgeousness and the hideous malformities of their instrument (bass, stop sniggering at the back there)?

munkonthehill Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 WARWICK why are they so pricey and why are they soooooooooooo boring. They are the grey of the bass world. I have had many many basses and the Warwicks I have played were quickly passed on as they have nothing exciting about them. Over priced and not exciting in the slightest. BLAND BLAND BLAND. Quote
Deep Thought Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='Ben Jamin' timestamp='1318360844' post='1401205'] I've always liked the look of Warwicks. Apart from this one. Just... why? Is there even a reason? [/quote] See, I hate all Warwicks with a passion-except the Dolphin. Funny old World, innit? Quote
Dom in Dorset Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry, it was about time that someone posted this beauty. looks like I drew the short straw. Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1318360083' post='1401180'] Really? Nobody's posted the Mothman yet? First in, for once.... [/quote] Ok. that bass fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on it's way down, shortly followed by the bird holding it... haha. (apologies if she is someone's gf or wife. Quote
lollington Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Google search, 'crazy bass guitar'.

KingBollock Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1318358484' post='1401151'] some good (bad) efforts so far, but what about these monstrosities? [attachment=91111:strange_guitar_12.jpg] they're both at least a little bit bad, if not worse. [/quote] That one puts me in mind of the tanks full of bad clones in Alien Resurrection. Truly revolting. Quote

Your walking through the trees and come across a camp where there is a hut twice as ugly and twice the size of yours with a bed twice as ugly and twice the size of yours with a club resting against it twice as ugly and twice the size of yours. Then you hear a distant THUD....THUD....THUD.... of footsteps twice as loud and twice as ugly as yours. What do you do? stop and take the p*ss?? Just a thought A Quote
