Warwick Bass Guitars Factory Tour
Warwick has been known as one of the leaders in the high end bass culture. Attention to tone, playability, looks, & price have made them one of the leaders in this industry. Their amp combo's, heads, & cabinets are following along in this same tradition. We were fortunate enough to be one of the chosen few who were sent over to Germany for a week to tour the factory and see how things are really done. Here is only a small overview of the entire experience.
