flatwound Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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) [attachment=26326:warwick_...1_walnut.jpg][attachment=26327:warwick_...rLX4_blk.jpg] [attachment=26328:warwick_...rLX5_nat.jpg][attachment=26329:warwick_...STG1_red.jpg] [attachment=26330:warwick_zender_blk.jpg][attachment=26332:cort_T74_blkchry.jpg] now that Zender is a sad lookin bit of gear isnt it ?

OutToPlayJazz Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Some nice gear there, but more to the point, it's a great marketing ploy by the store manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The first one is the nicest IMO, bit more like my idea of a Warwick I don't like the Zender or the Cort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, each to their own. And isn't it about Cort came up with their own headstock design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjb Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 They all look great, except for the Cort. [sub]Sorry, couldn't resist.[/sub] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecowboy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 All the Warwicks are gorgeous especially the Zender *of course i'm biased* , the cort just isn't for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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.

Josh Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Generally like them all besides the SZ sig and the Cort. Though chrome hardware really doesn't do Warwick's any justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee4 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Warwicks;too heavy. The Cort;a bit Marmite.Looks like the body is uncontoured so expect some forearm pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....
