binky_bass Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well, it's amazing what you can find out about an instrument that you didn't know the day before! I send an email over to Warwick today and got a reply about an hour later from Mr H.P.Wilfer, president of Warwick, to tell me that my Warwick Vampyre was in fact the first one to be produced, it has a serial nuber of 2003/001.

Russ,[/color] [color=#000000] we brought out the Vampyer in 2004 and your Bass is one of the first models end of 2003 which[/color][color=#000000] we brought to the market.. and indeed your model is the No. 1 of the Series.. so you are real[/color][color=#000000] lucky and you can be very proud to be able to get this model.. very unique..

It's damn cool to own THE FIRST Warwick Vampyre ever made... crazy. I did have this up for sale, but I'm not sure I can now. Just wanted to share this! Thanks, Russ.

bartelby Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I really do like the Vampyre basses... And that one is stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueslemac Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hang on to that email! I reckon it's even more uniquer than very unique, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
