roman_sub Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 that's a beauty. West German Warwicks are great instruments - hope you get along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn1989 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Im friends with Stuart on Facebook, could message him see if it was his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zawinul Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah could you ask him, apparently it was bought in 1990 brand new by Stuart and signed in 06, maybe he gave it to someone? Just waiting for it to arrive.... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zawinul Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 o my jesus god, its amazing...... the neck is a little chunky it'll take a bit of betting used to but i could always shave a bit off... The sound is glorious...its more like a cello than a bass... a wonderful warm mellow, even melancholy sort of sound.... very musical.... and it pretty good nick for a 25 year old bass!!

Kev Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nice catch, didn't think that one would last long with Zender's name on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Beautiful body on that! Is it still Afzelia? Looks amazing...EMGs too? Can't make it out on the pics. I was pretty tempted by this too, and I am NOT a fretless fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zawinul Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Its bubinga, neck is wenge and bubibga, through neck, the sustain on it is ludicrous!! Very heavy, dense feel...the neck is a little thick for me, It probably could do with a little tlc and a proper set up but it feels like a proper instrument with a real character. ...

LewisK1975 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 All the best with it - it looks amazing - been toying with getting a fretless myself, prob wouldn't spend that much tho! Good luck with it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmjos Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 These early Warwick's are gems, hand made and really musical. I have an 86/7NTThumb 6 and its got the best bitch ass B I've ever heard its almost 'digital' if you know what I mean. I think that these basses will be very collectible in coming years and they are undervalued now. Well done you for getting this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zawinul Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 yeah its funny I wasn't even looking for a Warwick, I have played a fretted on ages ago, sounded a bit dark for me but its a real quality instrument... like you say crafted..... I'm deffo keeping it.... and I like the fact that a funk master used to own it, no pressure on me then!! I got lucky, bought blind, took a punt.... the bass gods like me!!
