Well as much as I like the idea of an eight-string, I've never been able to get even mildly interested in any Warwick, don't know what it is......didn't someone at the old pit have the tagline "Playing bass is fun, except on a Warwick" sorry Warfans, I honestly don't think I've ever picked one up, so I am
not speaking from experience. Getting back to the bass in question, one thing stood out in the desciption....something about heat treating the neck, sounds like putting it in a "heat press" to straighten it out and then having a new truss rod installed. Excusing my ignorance, this may be routine maintainence for a Warwick, but it would sound like "neck issues" regarding most bass brands, the fact that it's an eight would make me think the latter. And finally..........Dolphins?!?!?
Just my thoughts,
