Sound

You can get just about any bass sound that there is! It can go from slap-bright to hip hop-boomy to rock-growly to country-mellow. It really shines for metal/progressive style; it cuts through the mix at any volume. If you want to be the main attraction to you band, this would be the bass to get, tone-wise.
The pickups and preamp are dead quiet. The 18volt preamp allows a very full spectrum of tonal choices. In a live setting, this bass will allow you to quickly and easily dial in any tone, including its own, natural, growly, punchy, in-your-face tone. In the studio, you will find that its complete lack of noise will help you to get perfect tone in your tracks all day.
Action, Fit, & Finish

It came from the factory with an industry standard setup (6/64" from top of 12th fret to bottom of E string). There was a very tiny amount of fret buzz; the neck needed a slight truss rop adjustment. It has not needed any other kind of adjustment in almost a year. Bear in mind that I live in northern USA where the climate changes constantly. The pickups were set to a very good height. No adjustment was needed there. In all, the bass has NO flaws. I very carefully inspected the bass for any imperfections--there were none. I can easily see why this is the top of the line Warwick.
Reliability/Durability

Not only is the bass beautiful, but it's probably the most durable bass that I have ever owned. Everything on it is rugged and seemingly indestructable. Though I love satin finishes, a lacquer finish would have been a great way to avoid scratching the wood, though.

Warwick has treated me very fairly in the past. They've even given me a few free parts.
Overall Rating

I cannot imagine a nicer production bass. This one does it all. It's the most comfortable bass to play. It looks amazing and original. You really can't go wrong. I have owned Fenders, Gibsons, MusicMans, G&L's, Rickenbackers, Peaveys, Nordstrands, and other Warwicks--this one sits at the top.
