Only $7000!
(probably more, actually... Jack Bruce's sig is like $11k.)

R.I.P. 6 string fender jazz
Ahhhh gotchaSean: I was thinking of the ones with the snakewood boards. Unless Warwick dropped their prices dramatically, the CS ones are gonna be in the $6-7k+ range. The "Artist Series" is something different.
From what I read from Steve on some other forum, he said fender isn't discontinuing it as he isn't tied exclusively to Warwick or something along those lines.Which REALLY sucks because he & Fender worked for years on that model. If anything, maybe I could score on cheaply now. As a guy who made his own 6-string jazz bass, I'd prefer the Fender over his Warwick sig.
Wait, 2-3K for a Korean bass? I mean, I get that the Suhr Rasmus and Dingwall Combustion series are made in east Asia, but these Warwicks are an order of magnitude more expensive again than those guitars.These are Warwick Artist Korean series. They've been on the Warwick site forever. Apparently the Korean QC is really good from what I've heard. Never tried one though.

Those are list prices, but I don't disagree. People have said that the Korean series Corvettes are just as good as the german ones. I don't know how well that actually pans out in the end, but I could care less, cause I have a german one :lol:Wait, 2-3K for a Korean bass?

Yeah, you go ahead and play your non-warwick non-50lb bass ;pI'm glad I got my Aria Pro Steve Bailey 6 string fretless, and didn't need to bother with Fender or WarwickSame Basslines soaps, same Duncan 2 band pre.
I know. I'm just saying that every warwick i've ever picked up feels like lifting weights. :lol:I didn't say it wasn't 50 pounds![]()
