New Warwicks...photos

[flatwound]

New Warwicks,...anyone like em. ? I personally dont. The manager at the local bass store sent me these photos cause he thinks I have a fist full of dollars...he's right, but I will be buying another CORT...(T74 image included)

now that Zender is a sad lookin bit of gear isnt it ?

[OutToPlayJazz]

Some nice gear there, but more to the point, it's a great marketing ploy by the store manager.

[lemmywinks]

The first one is the nicest IMO, bit more like my idea of a Warwick

I don't like the Zender or the Cort

I agree... the Zender one to me just looks a little wrong - especially the upper horn. Ah well, each to their own.

And isn't it about Cort came up with their own headstock design

[Clarky]

Not a Warwick fan generally but the black Streamer (?) looks very nice - a bit like the one Rob Trujillo used on the latest Metallica tour

The Zender is plug ugly, looks like the sort of thing Prince would play

[rjb]

They all look great, except for the Cort.

The red Streamer is my favourite, with the natural one following close behind.

Probably because they're the colour I want my Spector to be

[Musicman20]

I cannot get on with those tiny bodies..need more meat on them.

[spacecowboy]

All the Warwicks are gorgeous especially the Zender *of course i'm biased* , the cort just isn't for me.

[Dubs]

I still like the look of the Zender.

This might be me going a bit crazy, but the shape of the Zender looks like a very similar shape to the bass in your avatar…

I like Warwicks, and it's one of the few "big name" manufacturers I've never owned (There's still time of course). I [i]really[/i] wanted to Like Stuarts' Sig bass, but alas, it just doesn't do it for me, I'd rather have a streamer. The rest are very tasty looking to me, apart from the Cort I'm afraid.

Generally like them all besides the SZ sig and the Cort.

Though chrome hardware really doesn't do Warwick's any justice.

Warwicks;too heavy.
The Cort;a bit Marmite.Looks like the body is uncontoured so expect some forearm pain!

And here. I'd like the zender signature if it didn't have such massive overbearing inlays, they just stick out like a sore thumb to me.... (pun not intended!). The rest look lurvley though Incidentally, that's the only photo in which i've found a warwick p-nut to be an attractive bass....

Perhaps he means too heavy metal? Slipknot, Black Label Society, countless Norwegian death metal troll bands with singers called Bjorn Fnargarlsssen etc etc

Now the direction that Warwick view their customer base lying... that is another matter!

P-Nut's got his own signature Warwick now? I remember when he was playing Thumb basses 'cos Norwood played them. Like me.
