Kev Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Great start! With second hand prices still so low i'm sure you can grab yourself a german Warwick with a little investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenburgh Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Here's my SSII. I'm playing a P bass mostly now so sometimes the narrow string spacing bugs me. Sometimes though I remember just how good it is. Sometimes I just give it a damned good waxing. Sometimes it scares wedding guests (low B, hit hard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNkShUi Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 [quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1371472529' post='2114199'] This is my Streamer Stage 1 ... Hand-crafted in Germany in 1987, cherry body, wenge/ cherry neck, EMG pickups, Warwick-branded Schaller bridge and tuners.

wombatboter Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just traded a bass for this Warwick Dolphin... great but heavy bass with a rather thick neck. Put some new strings on it and it just invites you to play too much, sorry for that.. Bit of explanation in Dutch but there are enough sounds to be heard.. really fond of it ànd it's inspiring.

wombatboter Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 These Dolphins are great but seem a bit hard to find... like I said : a thick neck but the sounds are very inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Leuk dat je enthousiast bent over mijn favoriete bas, Geert! Ze schoppen kont! Warwick used thick necks a lot in the early 2000's, my '95 pro1 5str. Also has one. Early Dolphins and the current ones have thinner neck profiles though. Switching the twinjazz to its alternate mode makes even the slap tone growly and quite frankly gives the thumb bass a run for its money. These basses are brilliant! ... But also rare. I'm happy to own one and have owned several before. Kept the one I like best... This photo will give ppl an idea of its body size, rather smallish.

DiMarco Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 That was indeed the big idea, but I failed to produce a proper P tone so... Anyway, back to Warwicks which are my fave modernish growlybasses. The midrange on that SN TCS is really something else huh Wombatboter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I do love those Dolphins. I have always thought, after the Thumb, they are the most 'Warwick' sounding of all Warwick basses, if that makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Played the Dolphin today and it floored me again.. Ideas kept popping up and that's the best thing about a bass. Really crisp tones and a great sustain.. I'm never gonna sell it and that's a dangerous thing for me to state :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descendent Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) My two beauties; Streamer LX and Thumb LTD 2006 'Dirty Blonde'. I believe the Streamer has changed hand a few times on Basschat - I was having a shufty back though the conversation & I think Hutton's on page 12 is the same bass!

JamesFlashG Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 How to tell the age of a Warwick? I have a Thumb Bo and believe it is a 2010 model but am not certain is there any specific to tell? I am looking at the serial number engraved on the back of the head stock to try and tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mine is August 2010 theplace I bought it from sold it to me as new but maybe its not since is been a few years since its was crafted, although could be as it came in original warwick packaging and with all the warwick stuff. Seen a few of these in this topic already but another won't hurt love this bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Mine has a thick neck profile, but I got used to it pretty quick. Tbh I don't care much about neck shapes. The one Ross is selling has a thin profile and a wide nut. Fastest playing neck on the planet imo. Edited July 20, 2013 by DiMarco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 My lovely Warwick Trio. Hard to locate but with the fabulous facility that is Basschat I managed to get 3 of my 4 dream basses. 1 to go which is the utterly stunning and weird Vampyre Ltd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
