I have never ever seen a warwick like this before

[kevbass]

Its stateside and wont ship to the uk, but if it is a genuine early warwick a collector may be willing to fly over and pick it up,

here it is, what do you think?

Looks horrible imo.

[warwickhunt]

According to the craic across on the Warwick forum (this was flagged up last time it was listed) this is a genuine Warwick. It does look pants though... if you want a bass that looks like a Fender buy a Fender.

+ 1.

Looks like a Fender.

It therefore follows that it looks horrible does it not?

[waynepunkdude]

If it's Warwick trying to make a Fender they have done a horrible job of it, but Warwick are good at that

[The Burpster]

Fender make a good enough job of making their own basses look shonky without Hans having a go....

What was he thinking? maybe he'd had a coffee in a dutch canalside cafe......

[rjb]

I think even the most ardent Warwick fan would struggle to defend the look of that bass!

I hope it's easier on the ears than on the eyes....

[kevbass]

I quite like it

[Mr. Foxen]

Whats going on with the neck heel?

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

That looks like it was cobbled together out of left-overs.

Oh it was.

It just looks wrong (IMHO)

At least [s]ripping off[/s] licensing the design Ned Steinberger did for Spector was more successful for Warwick.
