First of all, I have to say, it's a question of taste. But if you are looking for the well-known singing sound of a fretless, there's not really a way around using roundwound strings. For example, we equip our fretless basses with Warwick EMP strings which bear the benefit of lasting longer thanks to an ultra-thin coating. Thanks for watching!
We have a Warwick Dealer in Singapore, it's Swee Lee Holdings Pte Ltd., 150 Sims Drive 38781 Singapore. You can find all details for all countires easily with the "Dealer" search on our website. You can find the link in the description. Thanks for watching!
I think they look kind of cool, but the best advantage I bet is balance more than anything. You can keep the balance right while getting a nice cutaway to the last fret.
Hey Andy, what was the first piece you were playing at the start? sounds awesome, and I would love to use that for a solo performance that I have to do at the end of the year.
Ok so I always wanted a Musicman Stingray as my lifetime bass....but after watching a ton of Warwick videos, I am looking for the Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string, these guitars are so beautiful, they could look badass like an ESP ltd or a SG but these look badass in there own way, and i'll honest, these in my opinion are the best sounding basses I have ever heard, I hope to own a Warwick in my life. or even play one.
***** It's just a matter of price, it's not like 4 grand just falls into your lap, but you're right, I believe Ralph Armstrong said it best....get yourself a lifetime investment and get yourself a Warwick bass
Hey there Andy! What's that ditty that you play in the beginning of the video. Is there any possibility to get tabs or notes? I know that you made it on the spot but can you recall the notes played? Oh yeah since I have no money to get the real deal is tere going to be a Rockbass Thumb Singlecut version of the bass because I like it very much and I bet there are others!
Dear TheKille22, there will be a Rockbass Thumb but not in a single cut Version. Please have a look: warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--German-Pro-Serie--German-Pro-Serie--Thumb.html Cordially, Anne
Dear Mick, please have a look on our website. Here are the specs for a 6 string and a 6 string braod neck.

I was expect this to sound amazing(Given its a Thumb), but to my ears its just AWFUL. That and the lack of upper fret access on the lower strings make this seem like a lose-lose situation :(.
All those exotic woods carefully crafted into a work of art still doesn't sound as good as a mass produced slapped together Fender Jazz bass from the 70s.
gimmeagig Boutique basses can sound amazing. That's the difference. I have a Sadowsky, and yearn for something with the rock solid feel of a boutique bass. But you are right, I have a thumb bass I am selling, because exotic woods can sound good in theory (in this case, the Thumb does have a very unique tone). But in my preference, it's so dense and heavy, that it just doesn't breathe. Best of both worlds for me personally is to have a nice boutique instrument with nice breathable light woods like ash etc. Having said that, I have a Warwick SSI 6 string, lighter woods, beautiful :) Forgive the rant ! haha
Well a great sounding vintage jazz has the worst modern bass tone. This is a modern bass, will not sound like vintage bass. You have compared a Porche to an aircraft.
