Dunno why, but I really don't like them. I don't hate them, but I wouldn't buy one.

I'm undecided. I like some of them and hate others, and I'd love to own one, but I'd never pay full price for it.

They used to be my favorite kind of bass, and are still up there.

They are so choice! If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up.

I have dreams of owning a Vampyre LTD some day.

Warwick has been my favorite brand for the last two and a half years, ever since I first played one. There are other basses I want, (*coughATTITUDEcough*) but Warwick will always be my #1. If I were to get famous, they're who I'd endorse.

the only warwick i would buy is either a vampyre or those old streamers they stopped making

I'm going to get a job this fall (I hope...) and start saving for next year's 25th Anniversary Model.

that should be cool, is it a new design?

I've only played one, a blue Corvette Proline, unplugged, and I quite liked it. I haven't played them enough to have an opinion of them, so I voted "decent."

They haven't revealed it yet, but I'm hoping it will be great. If not, I'll just buy a new amp.

i love the way they sound, but the way they play is fairly awkward to me

So far, the only tone I can't get out of my Corvette and my SVP-BSP with some tweaking is Chris Squire's.

The only model I would buy would be either a Corvette or Thumb. They lose points for being so ridiculously ugly.

I'm quite a Warwick fan - the Infinity SN I played is definitely the best bass i've ever laid my hands on.

Only model I'd buy is a Streamer Stage 2.

They come equipped with the ****test strings on the face of the earth, so I can never tell whether I like the bass or not.

Very well built basses.

Some creepy old drunk dude at a house party was hanging around the band (us), and he saw my corvette's upper horn and he's like "WOW, THAT LOOKS LIKE A ****! THAT'S SOOOO AWESOME! ...HEY, DO YOU GUYS WANNA COME SEE THE AMP I HAVE IN MY TRUNK?!"

Needless to say, we declined.

Warwick have a lot of crappy designs, but on the Strength of the Thumb, the Streamer and the Dolphin, I'd say I like them.

the thumb is pretty much the only warwick i like now.. i used to own a couple of warwicks but im not too keen on them anymore.

If this was the middle ages, you'd be hung for blasphemy. That being said, I never used to like Warwicks. That was until I picked one up. Even then I didn't warm up to the designs right away.

I have to say, I'm happy with my Warwick $$. I can't see myself buying another 4 string, other than a Thumb. It is that wicked

I voted love 'em

I love old ones. The new ones have ginormous necks that (for me) makes them amazingly uncomfortable. My STreamer is a 97, so the neck is similar to a Geddy Lee sig. ANd its made of Wenge, which IMO feels better than Ovankol.

I would definately buy an old Thumb NT.
