Yep, my Warwick dealer told me $4000 MSRP, so they would sell it for $3000 or so.  Yikes, it's a bit worse than I expected, but then again, I'm naive.

They must have dropped the price.  The price I saw was hanging on it at NAMM a couple years back, when they introduced it.

$7000!  That's insane!  A $4000 MSRP is bad enough.  How hard is it to make a hollow body bass anyway?  Don't answer that, it's just rhetorical whining!

I like the Star II except for the exotic woods. Make a cherry one and I'd happily become an endorser;)

It's a beautiful bass in real life, but I GAS more fr a Buzzard or Buzzard-headed Explorer-style Stryker.

The Star Bass has the same pick ups as the Jack Bruce, but passive instead of active.

I can't remember who asked it here, but I guess you can order a CS model with one pick up?
