Fanstastic Sustain
SOUND: Great sustain and warm sound from the wood and unique brass nut.Pluck an open string and the note seems to last foreeevvveerrr.... the harmonics ring like hand-bell tones.For a good example of the Warwick sound, listen to Jimmy Earl on his solo bass album.The slapping tone is actually "killer" (as one of my bassist friends who tried it commented) and very good for a 6 string.The B string sounds amazing for a 34" scale and resonates really well.The soapbar MEC pickups appear to have achieved an overall better sound than the jazz-style MECs found on the 4 and 5 string models.In passive mode, the bass still sounds powerful and able to do the job for most musical settings but it really comes alive in active mode (there is an active/passive push/pull switch).

CONSTRUCTION: The wood is beautiful and dense - its got the "Wow!" factor - Warwick chooses a slightly lighter coloured ovangkol for the laminated neck as compared to the body - this adds a lovely contrast.The fingerboard is wenge and looks great.I did not find it that neck heavy as some people have commented; however I am used to heavy basses.The frets are special - they are made of a type of brass alloy used in church bells. There's easy access to the back cover - no screws, just two small plastic catches. Same for the truss rod cover - flicks open with a small flathead screwdriver.The neck/truss rod was too loose when I got mine but was soon sorted out by a friend.Once the truss rod was straightened out, the fretboard plays like butter.Everything seems to have been very carefully thought out and precise (as per usual German engineering style).

COMPLAINTS:The bolt-on model only comes with 3 knobs - volume, balance and a stacked bass/treble knob.For this price, you would expect the bass to come with a mid-boost (which is found on the more expensive neck-thru model).The wood, although dense, appears to dent easily - however, this is apparently rectifiable according to the Warwick tech using a hot soldering iron over a damp cloth over the dent and sanding it flat again (the heat expands the dent back).The bass also only ships with a gig bag (albeit a very good high quality one) - wish it came with a standard hardcase. ...

Product Description

Dean put every bit of their 20 plus years of design experience into these models. They started with a body styled and contoured for comfort and choice basswood to make them lighter. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than virtually all others. They then designed a "uniquely Dean" custom neck joint and heel along with their asymmetrical 4 bolt pattern creating uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck. 35 inch scale, Dean Active pickups and Grover machines. ...

A Bass That Demands Respect
I have been playing bass for 6 years and bought this bass around 3 years ago and haven't regretted it yet.For starters it is simply a beautiful bass combining that cool blue color with the chrome of the bridge and tuning keys.As well as the lack of fret markers (they are still on the top of the neck) make it look sleek as anything.The lucite body makes it suprisingly light for how huge a bass it is as well as the recessed lower horn makes reaching those frets (all 25 of 'em, 27 on the B and E strings) simple.I love 6 strings anyway because of their beauty and clarity and after having played a lot of high end models, for the price this bass is a steal.I found no fret buzz or dead spots anywhere on this huge neck.And let us not forget about the Bartolini pick-up and active electronics.The low end of the B string is there as with a wooden body as well as the sharp crisp sound of the high C.I will more than likely never have to buy another bass again. ...
