From the Warwick pricelist (off their website):
[quote]Boots Collins Signature, 4-string, Orange Airbrush Design / Metal flake lacquer £5.779,00[/quote]
:)

Edit: Whoops, no, that's the old one. In that case, I'd guess the new one is probably very close to £10k.

5 EMGs! Will the strings move at all in that magnetic field denser than a black hole?

Does anyone in Warwick do consumer product testing?

Between the Bootsy, Zender and Streamer single-cut, I think they've a global market of about 5 people. (... but only 2 people can afford them.)

This is coming from someone who owns a Washburn Space Bass, but that Warwick model is seriously OTT and just a little tacky. Will be interesting to see if Bootsy actually plays it on stage (he usually plays a Traben Bootsy Star thesedays).

Ashamed to say I actually stil kinda like the Warwick, it's much better than that other standard shaped signature model they had out, but won't be trading in my Washburn anytime soon.
