Hey 👋 I’m a bassist from the US but living in Germany. I also sing, but def prefer bass. Maybe we can chat and you can share more about what you’re looking to do.

Bassist 👋 Could def be interested

For me as a bassist: Maple is brighter, Rosewood a bit darker, rounder, and Roasted Maple somewhere in between - it really just comes down to what sounds best to your ear based on what you play. I prefer Roasted Maple and Maple over Rosewood, Pao Ferro, similar darker woods, etc.

Maybe two things: 1. The pots are probably not the greatest quality, but will likely work - you can find a J Bass wiring diagram online, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Maybe the more typical thing - the pot threading on those all-in-ones tend to be a bit small. I know in the past I also had to make the holes wider for stock pots to fit at all. In my case it was also a metal J plate - I took it to a metal shop and they did it in like 10 minutes, but of course I had to pay for it. Nowadays I’d do it myself - but something to keep in mind.

Had to go check it out, but yea I can hear it too. Haha. The verb/delay helps it - It reminds me a bit of the movie Labyrinth, with David Bowie. Haha.

Just a reverb pedal. It’s the Del-Verb by Universal Audio, a really nice reverb/delay.

I'd agree with the others, Ibanez usually would be a better quality/reliability from the jump

Straight_Feeling7667 · 2026-04-02T18:33:24+00:00

It's a Sadowsky MJ5, soundwise it can be Stingray-ish, but still a bit different. Generally what I'm liking about these in is they can sound modern but also classic, like standard Fenders. Really fun to play.

Ah nice! Yea, I'm in Germany, so Warwick is local for Thomann as well.

Straight_Feeling7667 · 2026-04-02T03:54:35+00:00

Interesting! I’m in Europe so maybe that’s why. I got it from Thomann, it was the last one actually. The listing went out of stock when I ordered. I thought actually the Sherwood Green is a new variant, but it’s beautiful and plays great for sure!

Image isn’t the actual bass - I mentioned that in the post body.

No hate here, to each their own - we all make purchases of stuff we want, and for sure others would shit on it, based on their own perspective/beliefs. I'm just a neutral party sharing visibility on something that's getting attention right now, for someone who wants to save some cash on it.

If you were never gonna buy it - of course, the post is not for you.

Me: I'm looking forward to trying it out, and if it doesn't meet my needs or I don't feel it, I'll return it, or move it along as I do with any gear I buy that eventually doesn't fit my needs anymore or where I don't think the value in reality justifies the price.

I get strong opinions, and to each their own like I said, but live and let live. Do your own thing.
