I play mostly rock some blues god knows whatever else comes up this bass can do it all! it doesnt have quite the total growl that the German made Warwicks have but it is there! you can get a smooth growl with the neck pup and a nice Jazz bass growl with the bridge pup, and a really nice blend with them both its clean and punches right thru the mix, i play through a Hartkee 3500, with a trace elliot 4x10 cabinet and an eminence 15 in a solid home made cabinet, My other bass is a Ernie Ball Sterling 4 but i dont hesitate to use the Warwick ever! gets a great difference in tone, string spacing is alittle close but ive been a 4 stringer for 27 years and it might just be me, the bass is not too heavy it is well balanced and comfortable to wear and play

Been playing 27 years i have a Streling 4, Fretless Jazz bass, an old 1978 MINT Ibanez Roadstar (still my baby) with Bartolini P-J pups (sounds incredible!!) Lots of cabinets, overall im happy with the bass if it got stolen would i get another? judging myself i would probably go for a german Warwick but hopefully it will never get stolen
