I just want to start off by stating that I've owned just about every Warwick available, and numerous high end basses (Zon, Roscoe, Fender FMT, Kubicki, Modulus).

This bass rules!! I bought this bass on E-bay as an New Old Stock, and my buddies at UPS were nice enough to put a hairline crack over the control cavilty! The bass sound & playability was sooo good that I decided to keep it anyway (crack and all).

I still own my roscoe 5 string fretted and fretless basses, But the warwick is my main bass period! Great bass if you can get your hands on one.
