Waldo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='536278' date='Jul 9 2009, 10:57 AM']Didn't Status come up with the original Buzzard design with J.E.? Witness the original "beaky" headstock which has recently reverted to the usual paddle type.[/quote] I recall a lot of legal issues with Warwick and Status, I'm sure someone can tell us the story.

martthebass Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 [quote name='Faithless' post='393199' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:36 PM']Why are those Thumbs so heavy? Sorry, but, hey that's me...[/quote] Don't think they are - mine was only 8.5lbs but balanced like sh1t. Felt more like 11lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) [quote name='acidbass' post='536151' date='Jul 9 2009, 01:36 AM']And the winner is - [attachment=28534:singlecut1.jpg] Looks a bit generic to me? Personally I much preferred these designs - [attachment=28535:singlecut2.jpg] [attachment=28536:singlecut3.jpg] I think I might actually have bought one had they won! Oh well, the Warwick playing public have spoken [/quote] It's the ugliest thing in the world. It was probably all the Warwick-haters who voted for it just so they can bitch and bark some more about how righteous they are. I voted for the ones you prefer too. They look ace. I would have the white one as a fretless four like a shot. Edited July 9, 2009 by silddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 That's foul, even by Warwick standards. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 [quote name='GreeneKing' post='536166' date='Jul 9 2009, 06:02 AM']The bottom two have ACG written all over them imo. Is it just me that sees this?[/quote] reminds me more of a warwick dolphin, the middle one at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'ver never really liked Warwicks to look at or play, although I like their sound. But I really like that singlecut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) i dont mind the winner actually, i prefer it to the other two, especially the lighter wood one, what was whoever designed that thinking? Edited July 9, 2009 by Tait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 [quote name='simon1964' post='391895' date='Jan 26 2009, 05:48 PM']Wasn't the Vampyre designed through a similar contest? Not sure whether that's a good precedent or not![/quote] I'd have to say that it wasn't (and thats as a long time fan of Warwick basses). However, I really like the winning design, it looks very classy and retains the Warwick character. I'm sure it will sound just like an uber Thumb NT if they use a bubinga body. The other two ACG style designs posted here I don't really like. They just don't look like Warwick basses! It's a passable shape for sure though.
