There is only one word to describe this bass - WOW! Once again, Warwick has accomplished the impossible - to build a $4000 bass and sell it for $1000. I have played Ken Smiths and Alembics, but I have never played a bass that sounded this good. Period. And for the price, it is absolutely impossible to go wrong.

This bass is amazing. It looks great, plays like a $200 call girl (just kidding - but it plays amazingly), and sounds like GOD! Harmonics are as easy to grab on this bass as actual fretted notes are. I can finally do all that cool Vic Wooten stuff!

I cannot stress to you enough - if you are in the market for a new bass and can't spend more than 1200 bucks, buy this bass! Please! Warwick is by far the best basses for the money!
