In the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful...

Spiffy!
Funny, I really like their hollow body's but something about Warwicks in general have always turned me off visually. Then I came across a fretless lefty Rockbass version in a Guitar Center and immediately “got it”. As more of a hobby player I’ve no need for an instrument like that, but man, what a piece of gear. One of the fun parts of being a lefty I guess... when I was younger I felt the same about the Jazz bass UNTIL I saw an actual left handed model and picked it up and just had that “OH! I get it!!” moment.
Guitars are fun, and I guess I’m rambling... heh

Looks stunning, except for the sides! I don't like the "burst" effect they tried to accomplish. Other than that, it looks lush!

Great to see a bass builder think outside of their comfort zone. I agree with many often you don't get an instrument until you play one. For me it was the Fender P Bass. 16 Years I played my Rick and a few like Ric basses but one day I got a Fender P and man I got it! Still love both basses for different reasons. Sorta like Ginger and Mary Anne.

Not worthy of a new thread, but I like that they used the lefty:
