God $*£!"^& dammit

What year was it made?
The new ones have a thinner neck..

A load of people over on the warwick forum are saying the new RBs are awesome, sometimes even better than the german 'wicks.
I can't wait to get my hands on it..

28/6/06 is the date it was made according to the warwick site, yeah I'd noticed you'd posted once or twice on the forum over there, I've been lurking on there for a few days now haha

What 'vette you getting a std or a $$? If you're getting the std the only difference will be the neck and fingerboard woods I think

I'll be getting the $$.
Same as yours except a maple neck and rosewood fretboard.. and made by chinese people, but with the same machines used in the german factory.
Oh, and it's passive.

Good stuff! It'd be cool to hear a mp3 of yours to see how they compare how long have you gotta wait till you get it now dude?

Next month at least.. hopefully not too long after that.


Until then i'll be messing around with my very first crappy chinese p bass, which doesn't sound that bad, but the truss rod is stuck and I can't adjust it.
I've had to take it down to open C just so I can play the damn thing, the neck was way too bent before.

I was always dubious about the look of them untill I saw one played live in 08 now I love them and I have to say it was worth every damn penny, I love the double buck too it's like having one massive pickup haha, so much sweet boom

that sucks Fuzzy dude no truss rod tools to hand? :/ ah well the price we pay, worth it in the end man

I like wicks, just can't afford them....

yeah...

I cry at the thought of the things I cant afford :'( lol

I'm actually playing my Ibby at the moment, the strings my wick has on it are f**king awful

Waricks will always be a bass i like the look off and wouldn't mind using, yet I can never see one being in my possession for long - and I don't know why that is as I have no doubt that their superb instruments..

I totally get where you're coming from I really want a MIA Jazz and I keep looking at my wick thinking if I sell that I can get one easy. But every time I pick it up I realize why I won't be selling it... yet.

I'm used to Jazz style necks so it's feeling quite alien at the moment, especially since the guy I bought it off used it for metal so the the strings are really thick. But as you know the neck on a warwick is where that awesome growly tone comes from. The $$ doesn't have quite the same bite to it that the other wicks do it's more subtle in my opinion but it still sounds fantastic.

I don't think I'd pay new price for it though as good as it is because as I've mentioned a Jazz bass would be more my thing but it sounds great and I cant resist a bargain I just need to get some 40-100 nickel's on there and I'll be good to go, if the neck is still too much of an issue after I have it strung up I'll probably just stick it on evilbay for £500 or there abouts

The new warwick necks are apparently much thinner, though still chunkier than say an ibby neck.
I want a streamer $$ or streamer stage II
*FAP FAP FAP*

I'd love a stage II but I think the next wick I get will be a CS Streamer LX when I get that I'll definitely be getting rid of my $$
