Oh wow they look like flats in the picture.
I agree with the color of the silks. The Fenders have a similar teal wrap as well and I also dislike it.

How are you liking the neck on that Spector @joeike? I just sold a bass and have been going back and forth between Spector and Warwick as a replacement and am a bit leery of the neck radii. Unfortunately, there is none in my area that I can try before I buy.

Hard to beat a German Warwick on neck. I had two Warwicks and zero complaints about the neck. Those are absolutely flawless and high quality. The body is a bit more tricky because I didn’t really connected to them. Personally I feel Spector is doing a bit of a better job on new basses.

I agree. I researched and compared Warwick and Spector intensely a while back. I found Spector to be a better choice for me in terms of overall body/neck feel. YMMV.

I really like it. It feels really good in my hand. Maybe a hair thinner than my P Bass but not too thin.

Warwick wins big on the headstock though. Neither are awesome, but Warwick’s boat paddle looks better than Spector’s boat paddle. I also love what Warwick does with their tuners, it’s super convenient when you’re holding the bass.

Warwick also wins big for their bridge and nut systems, which are the best in the industry IMO.

Both are pretty much tied for stock finishes IMO though Warwick does a lot more on the high end customs. Those are basically art.

Other than that, I agree - I love the Warwick Streamer/Spector body shape, but I’ve owned two, and it’s just not for me.
