Stu's War(wick)

Four years after his pack with Washburn, Stu Hamm is now in the Warwick camp. This bass is a little special due to that behind-the-bridge depression. That acute break angle means the strings rest harder on the bridge saddles to facilitate Stu's playing style; he's a little hard on the strings especially when there's strumming involved. If you've seen him playing with Satriani/ Vai, you'd have seen that happen. The instrument's lower cutaway was pushed back a tad to the upper frets resulting in a more angular outline.
