Show Us Your Basses (Part 1)

yeah, it’s pretty nice :slightly_smiling_face:.

haven’t played it a lot yet, but barely needed any adjustment straight out of the box :+1:
slight tweak on the neck and intonation, pretty much all it needed :slightly_smiling_face:

Indeed. You don’t see them often enough.

We’ve had a love/hate relationship! But she’s still my #1 :wink:

Yep. They’re real hard to find now & when they do come up, they’re bought straight away. There’s 2 on Ebay at the moment but they’re both overpriced.

I sold my Warwick basses in a recent cull and do kinda miss them

Yeah, i go to sell my Masterman, but then i pick it up and…nope, you’re staying put! Just a great sounding bass. Bright when you need it & then thunderous lows when you need it. Fits in all genres of music i reckon.

Yeah, the Warwick TwinJ pickup is fantastic.
You don’t see that configuration much, outside of MEC.

Forever basses they should be. They are gorgeous!

Agree with you 100%. HowlinDawg I would love to get another one in a different colour & use with flats…but finding a decent one at the right price is the problem.
