I may have some nice Warwick custom news soon. No not about me. Maybe next week. Can't say any more.

Have you finally received the Holzschuh-Buzzard? We want pics!
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

So they're modern pickups built like the original.

And Chris is having custom clogs made in the shape of a Wankwick Buzzard.

Is that right?

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I was finally able to play this thing in a band setting now with the Alchemy strings as I was auditioning with a "Dark Wave" (think New Model Army, Joy Division, New Order, Cure, but they do their own songs) band yesterday. Didn't have my own rig, but used a Hartke amp imstead with a Peavey 2x12 (10?) + horn, which sounded surprisingly good without me having to touch anything. Anyway, the Korinabird has more sparkle and less blurry mids than a reg maho TBird which would sound raunchier, but less focused. Mids are there, but they are of "tidy" nature whereas on a maho TBird things tend to overspill a bit more in the low mid department. Enjoyed playing it and band liked its sound (the other bass I had with me was my Grabber II, which sounded raunchier, but again not as focused). I don't think any of them realized what I was playing, but the guitarist said after our session: "One can tell from your sound that these are not 300 Euro basses ...".  ;)
