The Warwick Star Bass II Bubinga - Product Demo

[@furiousajp]

I could listen to this man say Bubinga all DAY.

[@rolux4853]

It’s the German way if saying Bubinga

[@LeventDogrular]

Wait untill you hear Cocobolo.

[@ritalinrain3837]

this guys accent is just awesome.

[@argi0774]

german accent

[@dave1986R]

Well he is German. Just like Warwick is based in Germany.

[@winstontk]

Another fabulous demonstration!! I love these!

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

You can listen to a 1min version if you visit the Framus/Warwick youtube channel. The intro video shown there has this song as a backing track. Other than that, there is noc longer version available at the moment. Thanks for watching!

[@metalheadneji]

That bass has incredible tones.

[@peterbeulke8082]

Fabulous demo,one of the best ive seen

[@jryuwah]

so cool that the fretted almost sounds like a frettless. the tone is so buttery.

[@telecasterbear]

Very meaty. The headstock is wonderful as it is. Thank you Ove.

[@telecasterbear]

Thank you for everything, Ove.

[@luizcarlosfonseca7569]

I really enjoyed, great sound

[@Nasute]

I want the fretted in a 5 string. Perfect for R&b and Neo Soul gigs.

[@maurostrachwitz747]

epic sideburns, that is the source of the tone

[@pecavallo]

Great demo Ove. Loved the fretless. If you have an extra one lying around let me know =P

[@DavideDondiMusic]

Ok, I'll take it in 4, 5, fretted and fretless... beautiful instruments!

[@RedArrow73]

But do they make a 30" scale version Bill Wyman can play?

[@InfiniteRhombus]

shit...that tone is so clean...i cant believe it!!

[@juanchioooo]

thanks, is there a full version? where can i find it

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

OVE ........ I'M OVER HERE

[@mrassilyer]

Beauty

[@Armorteur]

Die Videos werden immer besser. :D

[@sfmag1]

Nice one! And no slapping!

[@RevShitstorm]

I read somewhere that the Pro Series Star was going to be demoted to Rockbass. Will this affect the bass at all? Or just the name?

[@jusztinnemeti6380]

I don't know why they have the same headstock on every bass they make. It doesn't go well with a lot of the basses especially this one.

[@MaliVinnyB]

Kind like a patent..I agree,as cool as these basses are,the headstock is HIDEOUS

[@just.a.bolivian.dude.1390]

I think the same...this one looks more clasic but the headstock is too modern

[@rke422]

@Yu Suk Mi Hof Agree: it's the "kewlest" looking headstock out there! Perhaps it could be modified a bit for this bass, tho, while keeping the original shape & intent. Looks great on their acoustics, too!

[@muscles662988]

Man. It sounds fantastic but I couldn't drop that much money on ONE instrument.

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Oh, I guess, that video is only shown to people who didn't subscribe yet. The YT terms of use mentioned something like this. Anyway, just search for a video called "Framus / Warwick KZbin Channel Intro"... Then you should be able to find it.

[@jacquibrookes8257]

😍

[@stevehtml5490]

Thing Of Beauty , buy one just to look at

[@BassForever44]

Maaan, this bass in both versions sounds great for playing jazz, how much $?

[@BassForever44]

Thank you

[@rjbron3038]

+warwickofficial -- Seven Thousand Dollars?!!!!! Not worth that price.

[@alexrodriguez4643]

+Rj Bron There's a Rockbass version at around $1000 and a Pro around $3100 (4 string). This is a custom shop model. (you can see a lot of custom shop instruments from other brands and boutique brands going at or WAAAY beyond that price).

[@rjbron3038]

+Alex Rodriguez -- Alex, for this price you can have a Wal Fretless bass; it's the best fretless tone. The tone for the Star bass is good, but not at this price.

[@alexrodriguez4643]

I personally use a Pedulla fretless which I feel has the best fretless tone. It's all opinion based and I am very sure the video compression on youtube doesn't do this bass justice. Since I cannot feel the bass or go through the settings I cannot make a logical conclusion whether or not this bass is worth the money. But I am sure someone feels it is worth it.

[@juanchioooo]

whats the song at the start of all your videos?

[@66NinetyNine]

Love the sound of this bass. & this musicians play style, I find Irving too busy. I just hate the look of chrome on natural woods.

[@vadimislearningguitar4977]

WOW....A SECOND TIME

[@Luvslys]

Does anyone know where I can find a bass of this model? for a price of 100 to 1000 dollars

[@juanchioooo]

thanks for awnsering, i dont see any intro video :(

[@D3ft0ne]

Made for The Beatles songs : )

[@Grigoryshaw]

The first music is very good.

[@nachobassman]

The Rockbass Star Bass will be 32" scale and made in China.

[@Grigoryshaw]

0:13 Music is very very good

[@1964danielito]

how much??

[@zombiespacebat]

Its a bit made by TM Stevens for the Warwick videos

[@albertomedina771]

[@vinigretzky97]

Can somebody explain to me how a hollow body changes the (electric) sound of the bass? Except for stealing sustain/energy from the strings (from the pickup signal), I don't see any advantages.

[@FraJa1980]

The added resonance bouncing around in the internal sound chamber of a true hollow body affects the way the vibrations travels and reverberate trough the instrument thus changing the sound that goes trough the pickup as well resulting in a more "open" sound. Don't think it does that much on this one though, it's not a true Hollow-body as it has a centre block making it a semi hollow or basically a solid block with empty, guitar shaped wings on the side so i don't think it would matter that much if this bass was solid or not, well except for the weight obviously.

[@vinigretzky97]

hmm but the pickups can't pick up on how the air resonates inside the instrument, they can only pick up the string movement itself. do you have a video for me that makes the difference between true hollow and solid body obvious?

[@FraJa1980]

Indeed they can't but it does influence the way the strings (and entire instrument) vibrate due to harmonics created inside the instrument thus having an effect on the sound coming trough the pickup because the string vibration is different than it would be in a solid body. No i don't have a video but it's easy to explain, these semi hollowbodies like in the video have a solid piece of wood in the centre running the entire length of the body, a true hollow body would be just that..... hollow like an acoustic jazz guitar but with pickups. Basically.... on the semi hollows it's only the sides that are hollow and true hollows are completely empty.

[@vinigretzky97]

Ok, makes sense. Are there even "true hollow" electric basses?

[@joacorodriguez3420]

If the magnets "only" pick metal vibrations, there shouldn't be any difference between fretted and fretless basses... but.. it is the day and the night. About hollow bodies: Hofner Violin bass... I think Paul McCartney sound is quite unique... There a a LOT of hollow body basses. Very common 40 years ago. (electric bass designed to imitate double bass) Is true that a mag pickup only senses metal vibrations. Is also true that instruments with different woods, bodies,fretboards, etc... they all sound different. You might say similar, and I will agree to that. None of those hollow basses sound like an upright, (as many wannabe upright players says), but they sound nice anyway.

[@quantumeseboy]

Are you serious with that EQ??! I know this bass can sound a little better.

[@justaridemotovlogs9282]

Quantumese Boy sounds rad to me

[@Gregsheppo66]

What you see, isn't. Necessarily, what you get, with the Star bass 2. It. Sounds great, but looks as old as the hills. Normally whenever I pick up a vintage hollow, or demo hollow body bass it's an absolute toss of the coin how it's gonna play/sound. Normally they play/sound terrible, then need a shit load of work together em working.

[@MaliVinnyB]

Has a LOT to due with the exchange rate..(Irregardless of the craftsmanship!!)

[@Twiggyay]

Dat black intro.

[@user-oj8md3xb7v]

憧れのメーカーだけど高くて買えない(´；ω；`)

[@vadimislearningguitar4977]

WOW WHAT A BASS.......2500 EUROS....???

[@richyperez_plays]

Couldn't they have made more examples without rolling the tone off all the way?

[@jazzman1954]

Ve haf vays of making you buy expensif bass.

[@kinzanbass]

Wenge is pronounced Wen-Gay isn't it?

[@InfiniteRhombus]

yep, why they continue to pronounce it wrong (even andy pronounces it wrong) is beyond me

[@justaridemotovlogs9282]

There is no “right way” to say it, it depends on where you are
