Smokin' your supper again?

May I suggest you put on 'Topic Description' a warning that at this moment in time, it hasn't arrived?

Some of us with excitable dispositions, require our expectations ...a little 'managed'.

:wacko:

[XB26354]

Would you trade it for a bass I haven't got?

[Josh]

Would you give it a chance?

Don't be scared John, they don't have to fully replace your Warwicks...yet.

Only if you haven't got it on credit.

We are forbidden to call him that...yet.

Dubya = W (Doubleyew)

W = Warwick

Hi John,

I think you know they sound better than Warwicks !!!

We shall see... we shall see!

I'm going to try and restring it with DR Sunbeams to match my Stage I and do a bit of comparison recording. Then again how do you decide if it is the bass (ie body wood, neck and fingerboard) or the electrics (MEC + MEC 'v' EMG + Tonepump). I am looking forward to this.

[noisedude]

I remain happy for you but the reading of the first post in this thread was a peculiarly disappointing experience for me.

I'm pretty sure you'll hate it anyway, send me your number and we'll work it out.

[cetera]

I can see you next thread now....

"Warwick for sale.... "

[GreeneKing]

Nope, Warwicks!

I somehow doubt John'll ever go THAT far, again.

or "all my warwicks for sale"

[warwickhunt]

You bunch of heartless vultures!



Well I have it...

It is an absolute given that on any given thread on a bass forum if anyone has to describe the neck of a Warwick that the term 'clubby' will be used by the vast majority of contributors... Yes?

Well how come this Spector neck is BIG compared to all of my Warwicks?

I'm not slating it but it was the very first thing that sprang to mind when I picked it up (the first thing that sprang to mind when I opened the case was Phwarrgh). Nor do I necessarily think it is a bad thing... just unexpected! Quite a Precision(ish) D shape in profile, I've got a mate who I've been meaning to get a micrometer off so it'll be interesting to make a comparison.

I've yet to play it plugged in but acoustically it is very different (mellower) to my Stage I which I'll be making direct comparisons with. This could be down to string choice so I'll reserve judgement till I've strung it with the same strings as the SSI (DR Sunbeams).

Watch this space.

[GreeneKing]

Ooh good. My Warmoth Jazz neck is very deep and great to play.

We need a photo John. Fingers crossed for tomorrow then.

The impostor and the originator...







<edit>

I've yet to bling the Spector out with the new gold knobs that I have.

I knew they were similar but didn't realise just how similar.

Nice indeedy.

Aww Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery

[warwickhunt]

I do have to confess that I find the Warwick 'interpretation', actually made a few minor improvements but hats off to Mr Spector and Mr Steinberger for a fantastic job in the first place

[GreeneKing]

I've only just discovered that Warwick copied Spector and not 'tother' way around!
