Whether you believe (or care) if this bass was owned by the bassist from Vixen, IMHO that guard is just wrong wrong wrong!

I'd also seriously have my doubts as to whether that bit was fitted by Warwick, I know it can't fit tight to the end of the fingerboard due to the fingerboard ramp but it just doesn't look like something with anyone with any taste would design; I can't see Warwick manufacturing that guard.

I hate to say it, but it looks better than I expected.

Hmm it doesn't do it any favours .

I don't think it looks that bad, either. The worst thing is the fact it plainly doesn't fit.

The Warwick Fortress Flashback had a scratchplate as standard, despite what the guy from Warwick USA allegedly said:



Jon.

Forgot about the plate on the Flashback, I had a blue stain one of those with the 2-Tech bridge. Nice bass but 2+lb of bridge makes a difference to tone and shoulder strain!
