Warwick

Ok, who uses Warwick bass amps?
I'm not looking for a running list of the bass players that you see with them. I am looking for some comments and opinions of what bassists think of the Warwick bass amps.
And if anyone can compare, through experience, with Ampeg SVT.
Thanks for any input.

Nope - not me - but I love me some Warwick Corvette $$ fretless.



(I'm currently using the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 through a Schroeder 1212L - and its sonic thunder).

Hey Steve,

Warwick bass amps are not bad quality at all. The cabs are pretty decent too. I know u have a Ampeg SVT setup going years. The Hellborg series of bass amps/cabs made by Warwick are really top quality and worth checking out. They have a more modern type sound from them compared to the all tube setup from the Ampegs. Not to say there is anything wrong with all tube heads. Either way u can go wrong with any Warwick gear. You should check out their basses too Steve. I got one of their Corvette $$ Ash body 5 strings on order right now from the factory.

On a completely different topic u should also check out those new Hartke LH Series bass heads/cabs. I got one and it sounds great. Larry Hartke is a great guy to deal with.

Hope this helps!

Southpaw, Kings

I dont like Warwick.The sound of it makes me feel like Im using P.O.D. instead of amp. I prefer cabinets made of special plywood, with Eminence Legend BP 102 speakers and ampeg tube amplification (svt cl , svt 3 as well).Especially for modern bass guitars .Greetz'n'cheerz

I haven't ever tried a Warwick, my SVT CL has all the sound I need

I'm curious though, you must gig mostly through a DI to the board right? So does the amp make much difference? Or is this for a practice amp?
