Once again, it's all about the money. Warwick makes, the estate makes, the dealer makes. This bass does not look like any Alembic or Warwick that John had played in his great career. It looks like a Guitar Center special that would appeal to the budget of the masses, but upon closer inspection, it seems that it is one of the most expensive Warwick basses that you can buy. I am a little surprised that they would go this route, given their history of quality instruments, but business is business, and any new design will generate considerable interest in the industry. Gee whiz, give me an authentic headstock if you're going to charge me all that money.............
Ollie, thanks for keeping the spirit alive....
