Funkin Up The Warwick 'Vette

[bahjazz]

Great, man. I also love my Warwick corvette

[NotRly1337]

hahahahaha! ur tall man! imagine u playing a guitar, haha

[happybuddyperson]

how do you get that tone?

[doctortabby]

Very cool. Thanx for sharing.

[logicalbass]

Well, it's sounds like any cheap bass going thru a sansamp or at least an Eq where all the mida where cut and the high and low end were boosted.

[elykoko]

bubinga wood gives out a really thin tone - a good thin, to me the tone sounds pretty good :)

reminds me when zender still used the streamer haha

[Blavits]

shit, how tall are you, the bass looks like a toy

[nrwhite6325]

Good point. I could not figure out what seemed odd about the vid until I read your post

[b03y]

around 0:30 you look like ur getting a bj

[alasdairmclachlan]

run for cover!

[chjohnst]

Do you find the fat beams easier to play on your wick then nickel strings?

Also whats your action like low?

[gcrumpets]

yeah fat beams are hella easy on the fingers

action is pretty low but not as low as it could be...a nice balance between playability and unnecessary buzzing

[WalliceTheWallBall]

Is that the neck-thru version?

[ManifestPanda]

good, like the technique. but repetitive. spice it up a little bit :)

[herchimer]

do you prefer the warwick or fenders?

[schwamabi]

WICKS!!!

[apc467]

fender lol..... Warwick walks circles around em

[lordvv]

tell that to marcus miller

[taviswardlaw]

There are some great fenders out there. The main problem with them is even in the american made ones you can pick up two 'identical' basses and one will be beautiful, the other will be it's ugly twin. Warwicks just tend to be no nonsense good construction consistently. That being said I'd drop any of my warwicks for a real 62 jazz. :)

[plasmo91]

@apc467 completely different sounds, not comparable imo.

[AcridPeter]

Seinfield.

[Zombbg4]

acridpeter, as a bass payer i think i speak for us all when i say i hate you.

seriously though, i WILL slap the next person who says, Hey that's seinfield!!! when i'm playing.

[necessiter78]

Yo'd need to catch them first. And George and Kramer won't be much use. ;-D

[kloge600]

i have just pay for my bass. it's 100% the same. about 5 week i have it in my hand. (sorry my english, i'm from denmark)

[bma852]

nice.. i bet you get lots of sassy ladies.

5/5

[raulmontana13]

I just got one

[bhuygen]

Wow every time i am browsing i find new warwick fans, by the way groovy playing! like the Mark parts in it.

[piratekerr]

nice work, i love the chillin + the grooving, what amplification do you have man?

[djeikop]

Ok man, then I get it :P

When, I just can't get a hold of the looks, not digging the shape, but I'm still looking into maybe getting a Warwick of some kind :P

[djeikop]

I think the tone is great! though I can agree on the looks, not the prettiest basses I've seen..

[fretlessbass26]

this is cool, i'll have to try out M. Miller strings next time i go get set up. I got recomended GHS when i first started playing, and thats what i've used since then.

[MickShrimpton995]

sounds very groovy man, im diggin it a ton

[stoob1969]

I made a comment refering to the Rockbass by mistake, I'm getting one of these too! he he

[stoob1969]

Maybe the looks Jimmy, but what guitar has a tone better than this?

[bassmonster07]

Great job!!

[voncoolio]

You have the exact jazz bass I use in the background on the right of the screen! AND you use the exact recording method I do!

[crigger7]

hEy! you play so great!!! i just bought that warwick corvette std and for wot i c in ur clip...just cant wait for it arrives!!! way better than a rockbass cuz of the MEC pickups...so small...so cool!!! and yea ur a genius:P

[vezzarn]

Rockbasses HAVE mec pickups...

[crigger7]

yea rockbass r nice and xpensive basses 2 but warwick wons in tone and quality cuz of the exotic woods and construction...but rockbass by warwick r cool basses 2 no doubt of that

[MCLOVIN50]

where do you come up with these bass lines?

do you write these?

they are genius...!

[pigbenis667]

make it talk jimmy!

im planing on buying one of these machines myself!

[bottom0fthelake]

the other day i tried out a standard and a rockbass and the rockbass had better sound for a better price!

[BadFad2008]

Smooth playin, dude!!! Keep the groove!!!

[sturmgeist1819]

dude your bass has a hard-on, great sound tho

[geddyowns]

ha thats what every on says about my warwick but warwick is all abount the amazing tone

[sturmgeist1819]

haha well you cant argue with good sound

[sammarshall27]

Sweet! That's some great playing there dude!!

[stoob1969]

This is the best cheapest bass I've heard and a lot of people diss it on the bass forums.

[Stahlross2]

cheap? the corvette standard costs 600-900€, just which model you have.

[gcrumpets]

theres is a cheaper model, instead of bubinga wood for the body they use swamp ash....its like $899 i think and doesnt come with active electronics....definately not as good as the "standard" std corvette..(cost about $1000-1200)

[Stahlross2]

well, i have the corvette std. ash and i think the bubinga has much more attack and pound as the ash.

the prices at us (germany) are very strange.

sometimes the ash costs about 800€ (~1000$ i guess) and the bubinga 650€, sometimes its just reversed!

[Stahlross2]

@stoob1969 yeah, warwicks are dissed because there are no other basses at the world as *yawn* fender jazz and precision. its always the same..

[stoob1969]

The problem with Warwicks, well especially the Corvettes is that they unfortunately have a ´phallus´attachment pointing at your head (see video!) but I love the sound, I think the best bass sound I´ve heard, I was actually thinkning about the Rockbasses when I meant cheap but obviously the Bubinga wood (what is Bubinga wood?) is the shinny.

[Stahlross2]

you mean the upper horn? yeah warwicks just look organic. and not as plastic like others.

bubinga is a kind of tropical wood. also the neck (ovangkol, africa) and the fretboard (wenge).

the neck is the piece which makes the warwick sound absoluteley unique and makes the warwick growl.

[stoob1969]

I´m getting one!

[travisissexc]

cheapest??!! this is one of the most expensive guitars iv eva come across!

[stoob1969]

I was thinking about the Rockbass model, stoopid me ;ø)

[travisissexc]

haha fair enuff lol

[geddyowns]

it is very expensive but it is in a cheaper range for warwick as is only the corvette standard but they are amazing.

[funkyjimbob]

Dude, it's in the cheaper range of Warwicks... nice bass though but the top end Warwicks are like 2,3 even 4 or more grand.

[RockRocks2007]

Dude, warwick has got those from 2 or more grand, but I think that you get fucked with then. Thats just too much money for a bass, this corvette is nice-sounding and it looks great!

[dbassboy94]

yeah true but man those fodera's feel pretty dang good

[RockRocks2007]

fodera's? never heard of it

[dbassboy94]

Victor wooten plays foderas. Their kind of like the Bugatti of basses. Check it out on the internet

[chickfillakilla]

hey man awsome job flawless technique, im goin to have to try out those fat beams, the warwick emp coated strings are burning holes in my pocket. your a big fella it looks like your goin to eat that bass how tall are you?

[gcrumpets]

lol, im around 6' 5"

[ane600]

hi.i want to buy the warwick corvette bubinga 6str.what is your opinion??has funk sound??yhe weight??

[CrazeeGiant]

Tall bass players FTW! I'm 6'8...but nowhere near as skillful as you! Great job my friend.

[ccorralcog]

Fuckin' sick, dude! Nice slap work! I play a 5 string version... sweetest bass I've ever played.

[axelfire]

hey nice playing. how would you rate that ashdown amp youre playing with? im thinking about getting it.

[gcrumpets]

Its an awesome amp, sound quality is and tone are really nice, and it has an XLR output on the front which is great for recording.

only complaint is that if you like your tone real deep and warm its a just little quiet when playing with a band, but it has another 1/4" output in the back that can handle a second cab, which is a handy feature and if you put a 200watt 2x10 on there youve get more than enough power unless your playing a pretty big gig

[axelfire]

thanks man! im definitely going to get it now.

[leffewjeremy]

this bass sounds really good.i am considering buying one.how would you rate it?

[gcrumpets]

id rate it 5/5, top notch.

the only complaint i would make is that the type of material used for the frets makes a little too much noise, not like the typical annoying buzz or anything, and its pretty easy to just EQ out by reducing the treble a little bit

[MCLOVIN50]

damn man, i just love the sound of warwicks!

i really cant wait to get my lefty rockbass corvette.

btw what bass are you using? i really need to pick up a pair of marcus miller fat beam strings, they sound amazing!

[iplaybass77]

such a lovely warm tone good bass player keep it up dude.

[geddyowns]

I have a warwick 5 string double buck and I must say that all warwicks fucking rule for slap

[IvanovBR]

Nice video! I'm plannig to buy one of this Warwick!

Afeter your video I will buy it!!!

[chocolatechili]

Is that the bolt-on model? Sounds sweet. I wants one.

[gcrumpets]

yup, just the bolt-on....i played both bolt-on and neck-thru and i didnt feel that much of a difference...at least not enough to justify the price difference

[Jsingles589]

did you switch the electronics out or did that vette come active?

[gcrumpets]

It came active, but i had to do some searching, just cuz most of the ones on the net and in my local guitar center were passive.

in my opinion the active electronics make it way smoother, with lots more bottom while not becoming boomy and undistinct

[fungihead]

are you wearing a skirt?

[gcrumpets]

no? im wearing shorts

[emy1337]

no. you're lying.

[cheach]

i love the tone of the bass
