Seems solid as a rock. I'd get another, at the right price. I figured even an import Warwick would be a good instrument and it has been. The thing I like least about it is something fairly minor; it doesn't have fret markers, only side markers. It's just something I like to have.
Sound
Good sound, able to tweak it quite a bit with the EQ. Our guitarist said it was the best sounding bass he'd ever heard. I wouldn't go that far, but it does sound pretty good.
Features
Nothing too fancy, but enough.
Ease of Use
The neck is non-glossy, which is great, it plays well. It's easy to jigger with. I actually like playing it better than the German-made Corvette I used to have.
Quality
Pretty good looking finish on it; the model I got did come with a design flaw that Warwick did a good job of helping fix. Nothing too major, but still.
Value
At typical price... I think you could get a little bit more bass from another brand. But not much better.
Manufacturer Support
All my dealings with Warwick (America) were satisfactory. The design flaw I mentioned early was easily fixed (by me), but they were willing to pay for it. I got a free set of strings out of it.
The Wow Factor
Good looking guitar, sort of exotic looking. Nice color and shine. It's unusual enough to get some comments, but not freaky. It's not a Warlock-looking thing!

"Nice bass, kinda pricey"
Sound
Very tight, crisp highs, punchy mids and smooth lows. Excellent pickups, just as good as the high end Warwicks.
Features
Adjust-A-Nut neck nut, very nice for setting up out of the box. Strings are something to be desired, recommend GHS Boomers, although everyone has a preference.
Quality
Fit and finish is excellent. No flaws whatsoever
Value
Worth it for the tone, and although the sound quality is good, build quality is somewhat lacking.
Manufacturer Support
I have needed repairs, for some reason the electronics just went out on me one day. Still awaiting diagnosis. The 1/4 input keeps loosening and moving around. (biggest problem)
The Wow Factor
Kinda an eccentric looking bass, nice body style sells itself.
