Stu's Review:
This bass has an Agathis body with
two pickups, a nice long neck with sealed tuners. This
is a very good starter bass, possibly the best.

Stu's Review:
These are standard basses and are
great for funk, blues, anything like that. The massive
humbucking pickup will keep your bass lines thumping.

This two pickup bass is made from
exotic woods and is a pretty nice bass. This line of basses
comes with a wide variety of configurations, so you have
the option of getting the sound that you want with Warwick
Streamers.

The Bassman features one 12-inch
speaker with 60 watts of power. This is a great starter
bass amp. You cant beat a Fender with their five-year
warranty.

Wow! This bass cabinet features eight
10 speakers that can handle an astounding 1200 watts.
Combined with an SWR SM900 amplifier, this system will
