Seems Warwick is issuing some retro style instruments. This Star Bass II is meant to resemble the Framus Star bass of old. The link below is to the maple top version...they show a 5-string but can be ordered as a four. There is also a bubinga topped version. Pickups look very Gibson like...v.s mudbucker styling. I have no knowledge of how they [play or sound...just look interesting. Would be more interesting (and look cooler) with a pair of Dark Star's ;-)
I recall a price of nearly $3K+

I saw a couple old threads bout Warwick issuing some retro style instruments. This Star Bass II is meant to resemble the Framus Star bass of old. The link below is to the maple top version...they show a 5-string but can be ordered as a four. There is also a bubinga topped version. Pickups look very Gibson like...v.s mudbucker styling. I have no knowledge of how they [play or sound...just look interesting.
The truly interesting part (which would be more interesting and look cooler) is one of these with a pair of Dark Star's ;-)
I recall a price of nearly $4K
Maybe with the economy down and poor sales these can be had for less...that is if one wanted one.
