bell Brass frets, really nice wood the Mec pickups sound better at 18V IMO annnnnnnnd way better than a fender

its just that these days were so shallow and its all about the "look" or the "mojo" of a mass produced and in many ways over marketed piece of kiln dried cheap as chips 36 necks every 20 mins per machine type stuff


arrgghhhh

just play the bleedin thing, those beauties sound awsome! just like a jazz with the twin singles.


oh ant Telifriend, damn i just got your joke

Haha, this sounds weird coming from me but I'm really unconcerned how it looks; it's the tone that I'm about with these. I've "past participle of get" used to the wang-ness of it so I'm not bothered about which looks better (though the classic styling of the Jazz will certainly win out).

At the end of the day, the warwick is missing fatness and lows due to the maple; if I can get big fat lows, punch and growl I'll be happy. I'm just not entirely sure that I'll be able to find it with a switch of pickups

Big fat lows? Plenty of them to be had with a bit of booze and a pub.

Can probably get a punch and growl the next morning too if you say the right (wrong) things.
