UTILIZATION

The low: The handle is trs enjoyable and very similar to the Ibanez Soundgear sleeves (the top comfort), so stick a level not change my SR 505 BM. The ergonomics are well thought plutt, the balance is low, the equilibrium point is positioned at an angle of about 2:30. By sitting to play against it is better that the big fender well stall in the leg and under his arm. Overall its small size, compared to amricains tanks, making it playable trs regardless of your size. CHAC is very easy to acute, there is no back button, (there is on the edge of the button), so we lost a little beginners, but you get used to quickly <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> . For sound you can get a range of incredibly rich! That is the big highlight of the bass sound more warwick <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> . Its configuration allows you to consider micro infinite sounds just! (IDAL for those hsitent pickups for config of future low, with the config you can do 90% of the low. (The exceptions are the twin config Jazz in Warwick, or the microphones al s to the handle such as HOFNER)

The amp: This is a simple amp! It&#39;s not the kind of amp that changes the sound of your bass. The corrections are the prampli as to bring out the sound of your bass. Boosts the bass and treble can give more or less your body sound. The small compression is nice, I put the baffle back to being protected, but I RULES gain Manir that the compression comes into play as possible. It&#39;s more than a security because it&#39;s like on my fender rumble except that I can resolve it. The

Baffle: The sound is made, trs clean, lgre development of a low without buzzing everywhere. The adjustable tweeter is a good choice. I is zero, I like the sound as the old baffles, but I also have the possibility to activate more or less depending on the tweeter style I play. This is perfect for that gots voluent. These 600 watts allows me to have your elbows at the free volume.

SOUNDS

The low: It gives me the sound I was looking ever since, the sound warwick! This grain indescribable! So typical and inimitable! My rve! His config at the electronic form that can adapt any low styles and brilliantly, with sound! His switch active / passive can have a more passive in vintage and modern pechus in force. The switch parallle / SERIES / simple configs can be approaching the classics such musicman, precision bass, jazz bass, (keeping the sound warwick). You can also play well with his billie jean that fits well, as well having a rock n roll with grain and big bass. Trs important point I think that in the low bass is not muddy, the sound is good trs Dfine many grunts and the sound, the grain remains trs Submitted whatever Tone . In his résumé a big typ but adaptable while due to electronic trs trs clever and effective. Even on an amp with prampli flat, it draws its Pingle remarkably well in the game

The amp: I do not have the beginners j&#39;tais of AIM. J&#39;tais used to the sound of my amp branch without my fender rumble 15. "It took me a while to find my sound on this amp without using the amp without. Today I found an r adjuster versatile enough (from finger to slap enough boards. In 15 days I&#39;ve had the amp, the speaker and the bass, and I found my sound and polishing. I liked her a t typ rock but well worth making the sound of the bass is perfect for me! I use almost no longer my amp too which modifies the sound of my bass my taste (it silent r gl on imitation Ampeg SVT)

The baffle: THE FIRST j&#39;tais also a little, trs j&#39;tais medium used to the sound my rumble 15. "But in the end it gives me bass speaker that does prcises did not rumble 15. " I finally discovering a deep sound prcis, that happiness!

OVERALL OPINION

I possde bass for a month and a half and stack for a month. Before I had an ibanez sr 505 bm, with no amp and a fender rumble 15. "My old config did not have low prcises, my silent over his ax on the low mids, but TODAY "Today thanks to the full config warwick I can finally have his bold, with good bass, good midrange down with acute Submitted but not too loud, all while keeping and enhancing the typical sound of warwick my bass. Prior to this config I have tried and Ketner hugues amps, Ampeg SVT classic, Hartke, fender bassman, fender bass, musicman, ibanez, warwick of other models. Yes that if I had the money I made the svt classic no doubt, out of sight I really wanted a Warwick, and I needed a powerful amp and not expensive trs, I thought warwick + Warwick should be not too bad all of the same, and that&#39;s srieux in strength and quality so I took a stack warwick for a total 659 euros. And I have no regrets! The aper us of his ampeg + warwick given by my no amp, I do not like too much, it is with the ampeg bass US, but with the most modern MODELS is not necessarily the best of the best. I may have the opportunity to try a config on my bass Ampeg SVT 3 pro ampeg 610 and I&#39;ll see what gives with this bass has and I will do a small update. If you have a warwick bass and sr a budget for your stack, take warwick trs is honest, and not in Exess cost! The low COST 1445 euros, but my taste is worth much more than a fender musicman or the m I price (considering that the sound is diffrent). Warwick is close to the violin compared to other brands ... I do it again this choice without problem, but the future can be although I will opt for a head amp warwick tube path 5.1. for a more light while remaining warwick. Voil warwick I caught the bug, and I have no desire to Gurir !

Small bet on the day low: APRS testing, warwick is a formidable Ampeg SVT 3 Pro Ampeg 610 cabinet and the grain warwick is not erased as a grain and even more warwick ampeg grain is simply divine to the sound of mtal rocky! (May not be for jazz but I do not care I&#39;m not a jazzeux for now ^ ^) So here on this forum some AIM n&#39;on not no such config, but you really have to try before giving a opinion.
And little off topic too: svt 3 pro has nothing to do with no amp, imitation is good but far from the original.

New up I possde dsormais an Ampeg SVT classic head up with a JJ / Tesla ECC83 in V1, and with the warwick&#39;s a killing vritable, I can have any What&#39;s the moment that there is no need to effect. The ampeg is a kind of hair for the incredible versatility of Warwick)
New up 2: I made my rgler warwick guitar doktor in Toulouse, it sounds even better is something crazy!
Couple my SVT classic, I sound trs trs prcis hot, awesome!

Bass made in Germany. Swamp ash body and bolt-on neck with 24 frets ovangkol. Touche Wenge. MEC MM pickups. 2-band active EQ, switch active / passive (volume knob push / pull), and micro switch for each pickup coil choice between series / parallel.

UTILIZATION

The handle Warwick is a marvel, a real highway! The ergonomics are very good too, thanks to the curved body. It does not look too when playing standing.
Access to the treble is not too bad, it's not neck-through but it is nevertheless very good.
You can find the sound you want just enough tampering in the knobs. She has in any case a huge range of sounds from his "pseudo" MM at its most classical type or PB JB increasingly modern, while retaining the style Warwick.

SOUNDS

This bass is made for a bit of all styles of music, as long as you love the sounds modern. We also get a heavy sound and a bold crystal clear sound. I played mainly on a Ashdown Mag C115-300, then drive home on a CD-20B, on both it sounded very good, even if my drive does not like the 5 string: P
I used it both for the metal to funk.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it about a year and a half. I had bought it because I missed too, I had previously tried several other Warwick (all great, I preferred her not to others, it's just that I prefer to have a bass). What I liked with this bass is its versatility, unfortunately, can quickly become serious if muddy with the wrong settings or the wrong amp. The price / quality ratio is itself very good. For about 1300 € you have a real Warwick 5 string, very good bill.
With the experience I would do this choice because even if I sold now, I really enjoyed it.

Made in Germany.
24 frets neck, frets made of a golden metal alloy.
2 Musicman-type MEC humbucker pickups.
Warwick Just-a-nut III bridge
Knobs:
- 3-band EQ (high, mid and low)
- Volume knob with push/pull function (active/passive operating mode)
- One coil selector per pickup.
Very pleasant D-profile neck. Thicker than an Ibanez or Fender neck. Made out of 7 pieces (maple/ebony).
Ash body, Spalted Maple top and head veneer.
Abalone inlays (fingerboard edge and W-logo of the head).
Very responsive black sealed lubricated Warwick machine heads.

Following this objective description, my personal opinion: it's very simple, I fell in love as soon as I saw it. I wanted to buy a FNA Jazzman and I came back with this beauty.
I give it a 10 only because there is no higher mark!

UTILIZATION

Very easy handling. I was a bit afraid of the big Warwick neck but I immediately felt comfortable. I forgot an important detail: It's covered with a satin mat varnish making it very smooth to play. The neck is a real pleasure.
The instrument is well-balanced and the design is so good that you have the impression that it was made for the human body! When I play standing I carry it quite high (like Tim Commerford), it doesn't move and my hand finds the right position on the neck immediately.
It's relatively light compared to my previous BTB555 which almost disrupted blood circulation in my leg when I played sitting. Access to the upper frets is good, no problems whatsoever.
The knobs and switches are very effective. Just play and you'll find your own sound in no time!
Only critique: the space between strings is narrower than on my BTB555 and I had to get used to it!

SOUNDS

I play every music style from Slipknot to Red Hot Chili Peppers and RATM and this bass guitar does the job without a problem.. The mid knob is the ultimate weapon for slap playing, it's stunning! From very fat to crystal-clear sounds, it can do everything! And you always get a massive output level! It's a majestic weapon! I can even get the typical Musicman sound with some EQ! With a hard attack on the strings the sound becomes wild! It combines the best of the world's best bass guitars!

OVERALL OPINION

I've owned it for two weeks and I'm in ecstasy. I have tested lots of bass guitars, including several Fender, but as soon as I put my hands on this wonder I just couldn't separate myself from it. It's THE bass guitar!
And this unique model is the most beautiful I've ever held in my hands, it's perfect in every respect. Critiques? I don't think so! It's perfect!
I know it's expensive but it's worth the money without a doubt! If I had to choose again, I would probably buy another bass guitar but it would be a Warwick for sure! A bassist friend of mine and another friend who works as a luthier for Vigier were amazed at this bass. There is absolutely no comparison to anything I've previously played. It's vivid, powerful and versatile!
