Review of a very similar discontinued model
Great playing bass, mine is made in '95 in Germany, from when it was still marketed as the "streamer bolt-on" model. Contoured cherry wood body, maple/ovangkol 5 piece laminated neck, wengué fretboard, bronze frets and bronze just-a-nut I nut, recessed strap locks active MEC P+J pickups and 2-piece warwick bridge.
Artist usage
Add artist
In this article, Huw Price, a recording engineer at The Garden studios during My Bloody Valentines recording of Loveless in 1990, recalls Kevin using a rented Warwick bass (of an unspecified model) to play in the basslines.
An Ampeg SVT amp with a matching 8×10 cab was set up in the acoustically dry space between the office and the live room. A rented Warwick bass was plugged into a Tone Bender fuzz and I was surprised that Kevin intended to play it rather than bassist Debbie Googe. Kevin spent almost the entire day working on a bass sound.
