She flat out rocks, she can play just about anything!! I play mostly Jazz/ Funk. No noise,. I'm using a Yorkville XM200 combo or a SWR 15 cab with a Avatar B210 cab and a Peavey Nitrobass Head,. Her Lows, mids and highs are unlike any other bass I've ever heard!! Again the need for effects are almost null and void, you can contour just about any sound through her. Again hardly any noise,.

She came to me thru E-bay, her nut was loose so I called her Birthplace over at Warrior Instruments where I spoke to JD himself and William Eric. These guys are simply the best,. I receive an extended warranty for 4 years. She's at 2005 spec's. As close to perfect as any bass I've ever had.

It's kinda freaky but she was sent to me by a higher power. You'll never find a bass like this for under $1200.00 street value. 7 years playing and striving to find the one,. I already have to two Frankenstein Fender / Sadowsky style basses that I've had put together by a pro Tech here in NY,. And they are fabulous,. Trust me you will not be disappointed. These instruments from Warrior are Blessed!!!!

Warrior Soldier Matahorn bass. (Keith Horne signature series) Only right handed one made. 5 string 34 inch scale with "b " and "e" strings strung through the bridge, into the body and out near where your straplocks are. Bartolini XJ5 in bridge and neck positions. # band Bartolini EQ with 3 way mid frequency switch. Swamp ash body with oil finish mated to a maple and purpleheart neck with a bird's eye maple fretboard. Gold hardware. INstalled dunlop straplocks. Yummy.

HOLY CRAP! I play just about every music style I can think of. Ive been playing for about 15 years or so and I have owned the gambit of basses. Ibanez, fender, schecter, benavente, G&L, and suhr. Nothing and I mean nothing, comes close to this bass sonically. Absolutely the best sounding bass I have ever heard. My bass has a very full fat tone with nice bright highs. I can also dial out the treble and solo the neck pickup for that nice reggae thump. VERY versatile EQ.

I am the third owner of this bass so things were a little off in this department but nothing a lil tender loving care couldnt fix. The guy who had it before me had some super sweaty hands. Major grime build up. Needed new strings BADLY and the action needed to be lowered as well as taking some relief out of the neck. I study under a guy by the name of Dave Karns who is a warrior clinician so I swapped the strings out, steel wooled and lemon juiced the fretboard, straightened out the neck, lowered the action and I was good to go.

This thing is a tank. I has been on several world tours. It been to India, china, and the like. It deff hass some playing wear. ( belt scratches, even some picking dents, neck is very "broken in") but everything that is important is in tip top shape. Tuners, pickups, and preamp are all shiny new.

Other than the small maintanence I had to do on it, this thing rules. Its not the prettiest thing to look at but I didnt buy it for looks. I bought it for the tone. Just wish I could get my hands on a hardshell case....

Bass is NOISELESS. Also incredibly VERSATILE. Any sound you hear you can get out of the bass with your amp flat. Chords sound great and are not at all muddy. Slap sounds incredible and there is so much available bottom and mids that wil let you cut throuhg ANY band. You name it this baby can do it.

The action on this bass was the lowest I have ever seen. Pickups are just right. The only flaw was a LITTLE scratch on the bridge, but, this bass was taken to the winter NAMM show so for it not too have a single scratch other than that is amazing. The action on this bass and the just right string spacing will make anyone much faster instantly.

This bass seems solid but I haven't had it long enough to know for sure. With Warrior care they will let you send your bass back every now and then to have it checked, set-up, and reviewed. There is also a lifetime warranty if anything does break. Also no neck movement whatsoever.

Call the company and ask to speak to J.D. he's the owner and he speaks to anybody who wants to talk to him. He knows what the woods will bring across and he knows how to help you out with what you need. Julius (the guy who is always there after everyone has gone home is also a hell of a nice guy, he installs the frets).

WOW! This bass is amazing. I recently went around and spent about 130 hours playing all the high end instruments I could get my hands on in every music store I could get to. I really like the Pedullas, Modulus, some Warwicks, and a few other basses. I had heard about Warrior in the Victor Wooten chat room. I will never buy another brand again. If it were tolen I would inform JD and he would be nice enough I think to give me one hell of a deal on another one. Only thing I wish it had was standard Straplocks but the buttons are rather large.
