Warwick really have got the signature bass bug at the minute haven't they?

Robert Trujillo is,of course,well known for playing a,.......... Fernandes.
Mind you,Warwick have the Bootsy model as well,as he's another well
known Warwick user isn't he?

When I think of him, I think of his Fernandes bass and his Squier bass. I've recently seen pics of him with a Ric and a Warwick. I don't think he is really linked to any one bass, let alone any one company.

But the Warwick is shiny...

...and Adam Clayton is famous for playing Fenders and then Laklands later on in his career. The only people that really springs to mind as a Warwick bassists are Stuart Zender and Jack Bruce.

Smart as though...

And good for him. If I were "famous" (whatever that is), I wouldn't want to be endorsed. I'd want to play what I wanted. When I wanted.
Alright. If DR Strings wanted to endorse me, I [i]might[/i] let them. As they're quite good (IMO!)

Isn't there a Traben Bootsy as well as the Peavey(?) Bootsy and the Warwick one?
Whilst I do own a signature model, I bought it because it was a wicked instrument. Not because of any artist association.

There ARE some good artist models around, for example;
Fender. Marcus Miller, Roscoe Beck, Geddy Lee

Warwick (lately) seem to have gone a bit bonkers...

[Dubs]

Not a fan. Just another crap Warwick signature in a long line of recent signature basses... bet it's gonna cost an absolute wedge as well.

He also had a Zon Sonus signature model - with a wooden neck for some strange reason.

They need to give Marco Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot) a signature bass. He's been endorsed for years, has a mugshot in their adverts (pronged beardy guy in an ad in BGM this month) and actually plays their instruments on stage.

I know,I didn't get that really,either.
He's best known for using his silver Fernandes,and before that it was mostly Tobias and
Musicman,and a Fender with BLS.


I've got no problem with signature instruments-I own a few myself-but lately,Warwick seem to be
just trying to lure some high profile players with the insentive of a signature bass.

I posted a thread on TB when I first heard about this bass... not impressed. The Chrome-Tone Streamers always looked quite tacky, and this looks like they've put one of those finishes on a Streamer Standard (less body contouring, one-piece bridge, etc). It's a m*nger. What's more, it'll sound just like every other EMG-equipped bass he's ever played. He should have stuck to the Zons.

[BigRedX]

Another design disaster from Warwick hot on the heels of the Bootsy Sig (the least Bootsy bass ever) and Adam Clayton's Entwistle wannabe.

Warwick need to employ a designer who understands both aesthetics and practicalities of creating a bass, and make a start by dumping the ugly paddle headstock which completely ruins the look of the only two half-way elegant basses they make (Starbass II and the Jack Bruce Cream Reunion Sig).

[bartelby]

That's one dull looking bass!

When I think if Trujillo I still think of Tobias basses...

[Mog]

Seen him with Washburns, Wicks, Fenders..... pretty endless list. Warwick are really starting to piss me off lately, they'll give any bassist a signature model it seems. Tell ya'll what, buy a new rockbass streamer, send it to Simms for chrome coating, buy the electronics on the 'bay, do some swirls on the headstock with a sharpie, take all the money you've saved from not buying that overpriced lump of sh*te and buy the D.A. something nice ( a second hand focus or something! ) and lay back and groove on your very own signature wick.

[Bassman68]

Warwick seem to give everyone & his dog a bass!
except me of course, i've only been playing them for 17 years & have 4 of 'em....

Then again i don't play metal & come from the USA or Europe ( As in most of their adverts!)
