certainly looks the part, anyone tried/got one?

[BigRedX]

I tried one a Music Live in 2007. Overall impression was that it was big and lumpy. I'm a fairly small bloke though....

Couldn't tell you about the sound because as you know with these shows the overall 'ambience' is of massed shredding guitarists

[wotnwhy]

even in the relatively small listing photo's the bass looks very 'chunky'. i like the look of chunky, dunno if i could live with it though.

I totally can't cope with single cut basses. They are just disturbing, like seeing your granny naked.

Except for the Status Streamline, of course...
Assuming that it counts!

I have one, search on Spear GAS for my old thread.

The idea of single cut is pretty simple. You get a stiffer neck and certainly my Spear vibrates like a rampant rabbit. Growltastic.

Spear have also really skewed the top bout so placing your hand is really natural finger style.

I suspect mine is an early one as the blue Bay picutre lacks the 'mute' switch. Spear are also doing a trans red, blonde and nautral finish.

Funny thing, i am the other way with this..
If they sound right...
And sit right, i am happy.

See I just think Estate cars look good and saloons etc just look wrong... but I also own a single-cut! Is there some correlation?

[Gamble]

I'd forgotten how much I wanted one of the Spears. DAMNIT!!!

I'd say they are the most disturbing basses of all!

[dub_junkie]

love that Bolin!

Warwick are holding a public design competition to design them a singlecut. Their intention is to make it a production model sometime in 2009.

I came so close to buying a Streamline, gorgeous. As for any other single cut basses, I would rather see my granny naked, and she's been under ground for thirty years.

[dlloyd]

No idea why, but Sterling Ball never went for my vision of a single cut Stingray...

[Boneless]

Oooh, a single cut I actually LIKE

They generally disgust me

thats one of the nicest singlecut designs i've seen, but then, apart from maybe the shuker singlecut, i dont like singlecuts.

by singlecut, im excluding things like telecasters and les pauls, you know the sort i mean.

They remind me of hippos I think.

Or maybe [url="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/1024/dugong.jpg"]dugongs[/url]?

[thedontcarebear]

When my ACG is ready, I shall name it Dugong.

[wotnwhy]

just like warwickhunt i love singlecuts. and think that estate cars look much, much better than saloons!

The Audi A4 Avant, Volvo V40 and Subaru Impreza estate are 3 of the best looking cars around!

[budget bassist]

I tried a spear singlecut, it did feel a little lumpy in the body, but it also played very nicely and had a huge growly sound, very nice for the price!

Yes, but you have to say that

I've bought my girlfriend a rampant rabbit for her upcoming birthday. If she doesn't like it, she can go f*** herself.

[OldGit]

Why do Warwick need to do a competiotion and take such a long tim ..
I'm not keen on the OP bass but Dood's Shuker "The Doodle" is a great shape. I think it would be just as fab as a 4 or 5



ha ha had to pst that pic - such a giggle
