[color=#282828]I ordered it through Marten at the Bass Gallery in London, and took recommendations off him at the time for woods and finishes. It took 5 months to make In the Warwick custom factory in Germany and made me a very happy boy when it turned up[/color]

[color=#282828]The Fret board is made of ebony, Instead of (I think it was) Wenge that was used as standard on warwicks back then, I preferred the more solid feel, and deeper sound. And thought of one day removing the frets, for which the ebony would be perfect.[/color]

[color=#282828]At the time the standard hardware for the streamer Jazzman was Gold… and the cheeky “fellas” charged me extra to get all black instead[/color]

[color=#282828]Round this period Warwick swapped their nut to some polymer fiber blablabla (Plastic) and I had to get the brass one with the independent screwpieces as an extra too.[/color]

[color=#282828]Ovangkol neck, swamp Ash Back and flamed AA book matched maple top.[/color]

[color=#282828]The Electronics were a bit of a hastle, something else they were changing at the time. But managed to get the circuit with the active/passive push/pull volume pot. And the treb mid bass work a treat compared to others I’ve tried.[/color]

[color=#282828]The little three position switch by the knobs puts the Humbucker as Single coil,(using the coil closest to the bridge) in series or parallel . As a single coil works beautifully with the J pickup witch aint bad on it’s own either. And in series packs some serious punch and picks up mutes and pops amazingly well.[/color][/url]

[color=#282828]Honey Violin finish[/color]

[color=#282828]It has been kept clean and had the strings removed only to show the detail. They are back on now[/color]


[color=#282828]Bought to use as main bass, but ended up only gigging it a few times. Never toured it and has been my at home bass and a take to the studio bass since.[/color]

I used one of these as my main gigging bass for about five years ( a standard one though) and he range/quality of tones is amazing, this has some nice little touches I wish I'd ordered- a great bass -bump
