Comments: I just bought a DMZ4001. The Dimarzio Pickup has been replaced by the previous owner with a Seymour Duncan Baselines "Quarter Pounder". This bass is heavy! But it plays great and sounds fantastic. It has a distinct mid range growl that gives it a more aggressive tone than most other basses. I believe this comes from the maple body along with the aluminum neck. This is a quality instrument and I'm amazed that they sell as cheap as they sometimes do. I would easily expect to pay far more for a bass this well made.
Comments: I traded a beloved Ibanez Soundgear for this beastly thing, it was love at first sight. Haven't played another bass since. The tone can only be described as monstrous, and other players actually complain about the sustain, which is never-ending. The metal neck is temp-sensitive, of course, but once you get used to it the pitch shifts are predictable and controllable. Only problem I have had is with the tuners self-destructing - replacements have to be shipped from Germany and cost a fortune. The bridge is a piece of crap but I haven't bothered to replace it yet. Why fix if it ain't...I love my War Bass!
Comments: I bought this bass new 27 years ago and I've loved it ever since. It's physically challenging to play but if you put the work in the rewards are fantastic! REALLY GREAT tone!
