Spoombung Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1318783917' post='1406159'] Hmmm ... let's A/B those two ... ... to my eyes the Affirma is marginally less ugly, but still ugly. [/quote] The Affirma is one of the most beautiful basses ever created. Quote

phatkat Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 [quote name='Jondeeman' timestamp='1318364401' post='1401273'] 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] Hate to be pedantic but you only have four fingers and a thumb, and I dont know if you have a different technique from the rest of us but my thumb is busy elswhere.... a bass with more than four strings is a GUITAR....

Hideous. [/quote] I couldn't agree more. Warwick put up about ten designs for a singlecut on their forum, some were truly gorgeous. They asked for the public to vote on which one went into production. They chose that one, by quite a margin. It was the ugliest lumpen mess, and it proves the general public have no taste at all and need to be force-fed good style. I remain convinced it was chosen because it follows the Fodera blueprint. f***ing sheep. Quote

4000 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1318346585' post='1400934'] I agree they feel and sound awful, but the 4001 looks gorgeous - not in sunburst of course (twatglo I think it's called), but the white ones and the black ones look ace. I would buy one to hang on the wall if it was cheap. But they are stupidly expensive and not that well made. [/quote] Yeah, I'm selling both of mine and buying a chrome Warwick instead.....(sadly at work I can't put a wink after this). Quote

charic Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks for posting those Nigel. Looks beautiful but i do wonder how comfortable It would be, the bottom half of that bass is so small in comparison to the top. Quote

Just wish they would realise that the horrible paddle headstock doesn't go with every body design (and that's not a cue to use the even more inappropriate "Buzzard" head). Quote

longtimefred Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 [attachment=93328:tn1_28919.jpg] Here is my lot, the Dean Demonator. Nice.... And to think, i even bought one of these in black!!!! what the hell was i thinking!! Ahh to be young and in a heavy metal band lol. Winner for me so far is either the Warwick Dolphin, the Warwick U2 pile of crap ass bass, the Warwick single cut....hang on there is a theme going on here. Also that Danelectro, those give me rage in ways i cannot explain. Quote
