NBD, Warwick Stryker :-)

Warwick Stryker bought from a fellow BassChatter - it's awesome!

I hope Andy doesn't mind me using one of his pics because I haven't had chance to take decent piccies myself

That's a beauty! Personally, I am not generally partial to Explorer-shaped basses, but this one Rocks!

[White Cloud]

Wow...very nice. Well done!

Thanks :-) I'm not usually overly keen on anything very pointy but this one just set my GAS alight big time :-) She sounds as good as she looks but I need to grow an extra long left arm now to reach the end of the neck :-)

:-) Thanks!

She was way out of my price range initially but the price got dropped, I sold some gear to find her ... you know the story :-)

Thanks - I'm really pleased with her! :-)

Nice acquisition sir. Two PJ pups? How does that sound? Is there a great deal of difference between the two pickups in terms of sounds?

Thanks, FunkyDunky :-)

I haven't had a proper chance to see what she sounds like in a playing situation or at any decent volume yet. My first impression is that this thing is alive with resonance! I'll have a much better idea of how she responds in a band situation at rehearsal next Thursday - can't wait!

These are two sets of P pickups in a 'mirror' position. Passively either pickup gives a very deep resonating 'piano' sound in the lower notes and great singing clarity higher up. With my other Warwicks I tend to blend just a touch of bridge pickup into the neck position for the sound I'm after, so I'll probably end up doing the same with this one. I haven't had a proper play with active settings yet.

I can't wait to give her an outing. Our (new) band is just finalising the set, so it won't be long now
