I love these videos, because they really opened up my eyes to just how much handwork goes into a Warwick bass. I'm actually surprised that the body routing, for instance, isn't more precise than it is, and that so much of the shaping it actually done in the sanding stage. I would have thought that with CNC, it would be machined more than that. Also, I'm kind of surprised to see they appear to be using an aliphatic resin glue? I'm the proud owner of a 2003 Warwick Custom Shop Corvette Proline short scale fretless that is my pride and joy. I only wish that I had the foresight to order it with the piezo option that was available at the time, because a few years later, I purchased an Ernie Ball/Music Man StingRay with piezo, and now I never want another bass without piezo. I wish I could send mine back to Germany to have it retrofitted. I'm hoping someday to own a Masterbuilt Streamer CV 5 with the Broad Neck and solid flamed maple from the Streamer LX (and matching my Corvette Proline), but retaining the 9.5" fretboard radius of the Streamer CV. I didn't realise Warwick uses a 20" radius, so I find the fingerboard of my Corvette Proline a little flat. I want a high gloss transparent finish this time (my Corvette Proline has the natural wax finish), and a black pearl pickguard. My Corvette Proline was made in the years when wenge was no longer an option, and I adore the feeling of any Warwick neck, but the wenge necks are particularly nice. Actually, I want two of them, one fretted, and one fretless. Maybe if I hit the lottery! :D And then I can actually travel to Germany to visit the factory and pick up my basses, too. I'm 25% German, and I speak German (rusty, though), but I have never managed to spend any more time in Germany than passing through the Frankfurt and Munich airports on my way to and from Italy. My Warwick is so beautiful, it's more like a fine classical instrument I would play in a symphony orchestra, or at least jazz in a swanky highbrow jazz club, than something I would play rock music on in a dirty club, which is actually what I do more than anything else. But, I specifically ordered my Warwick to help me get out of my comfort zone, and it's perfect for that.

Gemma Seymour I believe you can order the piezo system from them after the fact. There is a nice Warwick forum were you could certainly get the answer. forum.warwickforum.com/forums/ everyone there is friendly and some of the people are super knowledgeable

Do I recognize an Andy Irvine diddy? I do believe so..

[@diaphanoux]

This is warwick's way of showing you the main reason why their basses are so expensive.

[@Tlaby28]

make a bass that has a background newspaper, it would be great

[@Gregsheppo66]

El dumbo volador they did one years ago called the money maker finish. The entire body was covered with cash bank notes.

[@uelboart]

I made a guitar from a piece of purpleheart the video is in Uelbo Art Follow Uelbo Art !!

[@nmnmnm9509]

You should make bass ( and 8-9 strings guitars) with different shape of body. For instance it can be cool : flying v or an explorer,les paul and sg bass! Is not sexy a flying v bass 5 strings ! Or even les paul (single cut) 9 strings or sg 8 strings !
