Bass made in Germany, this model is no longer produced today, but there is still the version in the form of Streamer.
swamp ash body
Flamed Maple top with a dark wood edging
ovangkol handle standard shapes warwick, we like it or not.
24 fret wenge button
micro JB for the bridge to handle MM
volume, balance and active electronics 3 votes
switch for the microphone MM (Serial, simple, parallel)
bridge in 2 parts typical warwick
the saddle just a nut II broke and was replaced by a nut I was just brass.
Mine has a black finish nirvana oil (oiled black)
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice but it is subjective:
it is thick with a big dish in the center and unvarnished.
Access is easy treble
The ergonomics are very good and the bass is pretty light for a 5 string.
The standard gauge is smaller than a JB 5-String and can be further reduced thanks to the bridge mutiples settings.
SOUNDS
This bass is very versatile thanks notably to the switch 3 positions.
I use 2 different settings:
JB adjustment: Balance at the center, microwave singles MM is the sound that I use most and can be used to make pop, rock, metal, etc. ...
MM adjustment: Balance 100% bridge pickup in series, big presence, very big potato medium, not very versatile but very effective agreement behind a wall of guitar.
the neck pickup alone does not do justice to the instrument.
If the bass is good but I find that 34 inches of pitch is not enough (this applies to all 5 strings), I preferred 35.
I do not use much EQ, I add just serious but for having tampered with the active electronics is doing its job.
I mainly use a little big muff and bass amp without driver that I plugged into the effect return of the amp available in the studios.
Without the SansAmp, marriage with Ampreg svt 3 pro or a Peavey T Max is good but I never managed to make it sound a Hartke (hence the SansAmp).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 years and I am fully satisfied, but I would do this choice by requiring the option of 35-inch handle for increased tension So serious.
Cons:
The oil finish is very fragile, the back of the instrument is marked very quickly with a belt buckle.
the neck pickup
I had some problems: a broken nut (the nut offending model is no longer used by Warwick) and seized Straplock (lip seal by Schaller), but all equipment was replaced free by the store.
most: versatility, sounds, round unvarnished, the adjustment possibilities of the easel
