Low German-made (such as sedans, the weight is affected!)
24 frets, pickups MEC configure "jazz bass", an easel and a handle (see photo, I have the same but in red).
The electronic active, with a volume, a micro scale, a serious, acute one.
The handle is not polished and rounded at the ergonomics, it is in direct contact with the grain of wood, and personally I love it.
Only small BMOL: weight consquent reassures the quality of manufacture but it is better to have the strong shoulders, especially for those who make the ball for 5 hours!

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable but not varnished derrire, which can dplaire prtendent certain that the left hand slides less, I did not notice anything significant, and the cot contact the raw wood provides a charming supplmentaire for electric instrument.

SOUNDS

The sound of this instrument are modern, for all types of modern music. I recommend leaving the old ropes for those seeking a privilgier its roots and the micro serious, it seems to find the grain of vintage basses.
Otherwise it is perfect for slap and all Dfine clear sound, with new ropes it behaves extremely well in the studio for the cot and lack of precision breath.

Deuxime BMOL: micro acute tends to increase background noise on the frets plutt acute self-same, so watch out the grate, that said a lot of adpendend your amp and your fingers ...

In fact, the bass is splittable in liabilities up the volume knob!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2001 and I sell it because I do not play on my noguera and I need to buy a fretless of this same luthier, advisories intresss!

The warwick is a good low trs, trs comfortable with a nice violin satin trs. It is built with exotic woods that I can rename here s'cusez me!

the average is nine because of the weight and the fine management of acute, That's it!
