Flamebait Qns: Fender > Warwick

[lordie]

a lot of folks was saying fender > warwick

whats your thought on this ;p. dun need to bring in lakland, ebmm, G&L, Tobias, etc..etc..

 

[Ken]

warwick lah... no need to fight for me.

Now can all the fender men step up and start your flaming!

 

[Z3r0_G]

My sig says it all

You cant really compare the both of them. They are just ... different.

However, if I have to really choose 1, I would pick the Fender, for its tonal versatility and low maintenance. I had a Warwick once, the neck kept warping and the waxing required is a pain in the ass..

 

[lordie]

some more?

point 1 - fender is more versatile than warwick
point 2 - fender requires less maintainance than warwick or else it warped?

 

[Resetti]

High maintainence warwick requiring you to wax the unfinished wood body once in 2 weeks is just a ridiculous concept to me.

If you don't wax it, the parts of the body that comes in contact with your skin will change color due to absorbing your sweat, etc.... since the wood is unfinished. - and i sweat A LOT everytime i play, and I play pretty often.

I should be the master and the instrument be the slave, not the other way round lol.

 

[mingrong]

with sweaty palms and singapore weather - i'd go for the fender. of course you must admit that the warwick has a really great tone.

 

[subversion]

it's preferential- if you swear by a Fender, the most supreme Warwick wouldn't be impressive to you. vice versa...

 

[rottenramone]

will warwick ever be man enough to come out with pink bass?

 

[VinOnBass]

Fender all the way =)

 

[lordie]

will warwick ever be man enough to come out with pink bass?

pink bass - go custom shop any color finish u ever wanted!

poin 3 - sweaty fingers discoloured the unfinish wood!

good feedback! send 'em coming!

lordie, no real flaming leh... you should unleash your taranis on this thread bro

Fender vs Warwick

I have a fender, and it doesn't fail me. To put it in a metaphor, a fender is your trusty and faithful home-maker wife, whereas a warwick is an extra-marital fling. Well at least for me.

 

[jbarks]

had an FNA once... it was nice, but growl isn't everything

 

[joeversustheworld]

i agree with basstze.no doubt a fender bass has that warmth like none other like a fender us swamp ash jazz bass but if u like to punch pple in the face with ur bass sound then warwick is ur best weapon.actually both basses cannot be compared cos they are both designed differently to make a unique tone by themselves.so in the end it boils down to each his own.

 

[shinobi]

all of you don't know what you're talking about

the best bass in the world is obviously the music man

 

[jbarks]

no, the best bass in the world is a fish!

 

[funkygeos]

no, the best bass in the world is a fish!

This is a real cool bass. keke!

 

[lordie]

point 4 - sea bass is wickedly cool.

so fender eh? but than fender look very unglamourous, beauty in the eye of the beholder, if fender is so great and versatile what abt bongo? lakland? sadowsky? G&L or tons of other Leo's basses?

 

[lordie]

lordie, no real flaming leh... you should unleash your taranis on this thread bro
