ubassman Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Flying V meets double bass ! ....I smell spandex !! Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 LOL - that newsletter from Warwick got my attention too As electric uprights, Triumphs are cool IMO, such an unusual shape. I've never been able to play one though - I'm actually waiting for Warwick to produce an affodable lefty Rockbass Triumph sooner or later! - so I'm not sure whether such shape is as ergonomic to play as the traditional long-and-thin EUB shape.

[/quote] Great pic Nah, no spandex in the thrash metal look, it's blue or black denim and minimal accessories, in fact, as the photo shows Quote
ubassman Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) ....thats better !! Thrash metal EUB - is that a first ? Edited February 15, 2013 by ubassman Quote

Silvia Bluejay Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 There is - only 4 strings and only right-handed for the moment.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Any idea where you can try one out and the cost of one? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 when I say you I mean me obviously as your a left hooker so to speak! Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I'm afraid I can't help on this - the Triumph Lite was launched at NAMM in January, so it's quite new, and it may not be in many stores yet... you could try asking Garey (Warwick_Official), to see if he has any info on who might be selling or at least showcasing it in the UK.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I will have a hunt then thanks. Quote
