oh well... whenever you post something online, you will always get hecklers. i had my share of hecklers on clips where i played a warwick. it did suck cause sometimes you feel ppl only diss you because your bass isnt really proportional to your playing skills in THAT particular clip.
i guess i was a bit shocked cause the baker was built up so much (by no other than oas) ... to the point where i began believing its a guitar that sounds like a dream. when i heard the clips, to be honest, i realize its all about the player. maybe 30% gear and 70% player.
the guitar will only sing when you have the ability to make it happen ... or else, be it a warwick, baker, suhr, alembic, etc. ... they wont be any different from low end ibanez's, yamahas, fenders, gibsons, etc. especially if you will just bend one string and ask ppl to "feel" the tone or something.
actually... there are times where my warwick's butt gets kicked by peavey grinds ... so that means i have to go back to the wood shed and reevaluate my playing again. hehe

for what its worth... you dont need guitar playing skills to own a godly guitar. you need money for that.
so if theres one thing oas is really good at ... its making money.
now, thats something i wanna have *lol*
