The Warwick semi hollow 5 string is a great bass especially when you have it professionally setup on this video I’m using Dunlop stainless steel. I must Say i have compare the Germany 🇩🇪 model to the made in china 🇨🇳 model only difference Germany made use exotic woods, but the fundamentals are still the same. I would check out Reverb music online they’re a lot cheaper price wise especially used mind is used I have seen them as low as 600.00 Chinese models however the German model 5000.00 simple equation. Also note the Chinese models are under strict German supervision with their Name. I have recorded with this bass, play live with it! I also play with organist with pedal bass Hammond to name, and this thing raw like beast and full the room. Maintenance wise remember it’s a semi hollow protect it like an infant 👶 wipe it down after every Gig lint free cloth and most of all you use a strong 💪🏿 guitar-stand and you never be disappointed. I hope that this is helpful to you.
