This is a bass of a friend of mine. The strings on the bass are 6 months old DR Lo-Rider 045-105. I recorder straight to a Focusrite iTrack Solo. A very very nice bass!!!
Excellent demo. I wish would have spent more time turning knobs on the Masterman5 I had some years ago. I love it when the little ones make an appearance in videos. Make sure you look back some day when she's older.
As always, great playing and great demo. The most informative and enjoyable demos on UA-cam for sure. Not until now have I heard a Warwick get the Stingray tone so right. Then there's all the other possibilities. Cheers.
A stunning bass indeed ! I remember seeing amazing bassist Phil "Soul" Sewell play one at a Keziah Jones gig through a Trace Elliott rig in the early 90ies, and it really sounded flabbergasting
I own a '97 flame maple red one of these with a truss rod cover that actually says Fortress Masterman on it! But unfortunately I cant play it as good as this. Nice vid!
I have that same bass I bought back in 1994 and has been my main bass ever since. Classic Nice work on the tones this can be tricky due to the option of having much low bass tone. Not sure what that other guy was saying. The Neck on this bass is not thick like other Warwick basses.
Hey Pertybass! Really liked the demo for this beautiful instrument, especially the intro. I'm a proud owner of one of these Warwick basses. I bought mine new back in '95 from a dealer in Memphis that actually new very little about the instrument. Or didn't offer much info. So, over the years I have figured out that Warwick used a U.S. Swamp Ash body with a AAA flamed maple top, and, well, you know the rest. In my years of playing, I have yet to play another bass that has as "smooth" a neck with the combination of tone and clarity as the Fortress One Masterman. Truly a unique bass in the world of 4 string electronic basses. In contrast, the "highs" can be a bit harsh, and the "lows" a bit muddy, when either is maxed on the neck or bridge p'ups. So, that's my 2 cents worth. What did you think? Thanks for the vid. The adio came through nicely.
Great player! Great sound! One question for you. If you had to choose between a Fortress Masterman or Music Man Stingray 4, what would be your choice & why? Thanks!
Warwick meets Stingray? Gorgeous tone.
One of the BADASS bass guitar players on the net ! \m/
Love it when your kid comes in :)
Cheers mate !!
frantisca Thanks brother!!!
Great demo! I totally forgot about the Masterman- amazing sounding bass and very versatile. I will be getting a 5 string version real soon!!!
Beautiful sounding bass!!

I will. Thanks!!

+Tom Wilkinson Thanks !!!!
IMO, the most unbiased review. Great bass and player.
Wow, thanks!
This has to be the first Warwick bass I've ever truly liked.
This is the first Warwick bass I ever tried, and still have one nearly 20 years on. They are fantastic and underrated
I agree with the previous commentator! You really made that Fortress sing! Gorgeous tone!

Man I wish I had enough money to afford all these cool basses too lol
I have that same bass I bought back in 1994 and has been my main bass ever since. Classic
Nice work on the tones this can be tricky due to the option of having much low bass tone. Not sure what that other guy was saying. The Neck on this bass is not thick like other Warwick basses.
I also have the same bass. bought used in around 2004. Neck profile is similar to a jazz bass. Best Warwick bass I've ever tried

This is a great slap bass but the neck is so fucking thick.
