Paul Cooke Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 what the bleep is it then?... that doesn't look anything like a Buzzard or Vampyre... nice trick that lifting the Vampyre spiel off the Warwick website... oh, I love this silly factoid "All Warwick-branded instruments are hand-crafted in Germany" he lifted... when the headstock is showing Made In USA...

In fact it's the only attempt i've ever seen! what a numpty! Edited October 18, 2008 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh3184 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 "Beware. The Vampyre LTD has arisen. The sculpted ash body is capped with a striking 1" quilted maple top anjd is sure to captivate anyone who gazes upon it. Complete with a neck-through design and wide cutaways, the flamed maple neck is joined to an ebony fingerboard adorned with intricate bass clef inlays of paua abalone. The longer horn has a rear-mounted strap button to achieve a surprisingly perfect balance while remaining menacingly stylish.Alluring and seductive looks are not the only attribute the Vampyre LTD possesses. Equipped with both an active bridge MEC Twin Jazz pickup, a single active MEC Jazz neck pickup, and 3-band, active MEC electronics, it faithfully serves its master to produce a nearly infinite possibility of tones. It delivers deep, throaty lows, to edgy mids, and even clear, biting highs" I can't believe he's got that on product information! He's actually telling people this isn't what he says it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
