throwoff Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I finally took the plunge and ordered a Custom shop bass today I am still sorting out my Shuker in the background but this one is signed off and sealed! I don't want to give too much away (Wayne knows a bit about it although I changed quite a bit since talking to him!) It is a well know brand but in a style completely unlike what they usually make Delivery is November - December so its a bit of a wait ahead Quote
throwoff Posted July 15, 2010 Author Posted July 15, 2010 haha, yep! I want to keep this one under wraps for the time being Quote

throwoff Posted July 15, 2010 Author Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Oh to hell with it I just got my confirmation so I might as well boast! Ti's a Warwick Corvette $$ in High Polish Solid Yellow Matched headstock Tigerstripe Ebony Board Nameplate at 24th (secret!) Edited July 28, 2010 by throwoff Quote
throwoff Posted July 15, 2010 Author Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) I love them too but I wanted something a bit different. I almost went for a Streamer LX but I just cannot get the big sound of those twin MM's out of my head! Initially I went for plain Jane maple board but I though to keep a bit of Warwickness to it I would go for the flamed maple. Looks like might actually be early January now (not Warwicks fault but mine, want to make sure I can pay it all of for when it arrives!) Edited July 15, 2010 by throwoff Quote

Am I missing something? Anyway, nice one! Always good to have something that is special to you being made I'm guessing the Wayne input was the colour?! Quote

charic Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I would've put an ebony board on it instead I think. Offset to the yellow you know? Quote

I wonder If I have time to change my mind! Quote
throwoff Posted July 15, 2010 Author Posted July 15, 2010 And turns out I did Ebony Board and I changed the nameplate a bit but what it will now say remains a secret! Quote
Veils Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Still too late to change? I'd ask them to make the body out of honey roast ham, with a monterey jack cheese top. Quote
