Yeah, don't worry Lonnie...we've all had some rock through'n at us from time to time.
'Welcome To The Monkey House'...nice screen name...I presume it's bass-related. I have a good friend who I worked with on a construction crew many years ago...his nickname on the site was 'Thumper', too...although he acquired it by resembling (physically and personality-wise) the rabbit in 'Bambi'...

Lonnie,,buddy,, shop around a little bit. Jetglo is a very standard finish, you should be able to find one in stock.
As far as the Warwick goes, I had a Corvette Pro-Line 5 string that I had a real love-hate relationship with.
It played and set up very nice,but it seemed to be all about low end. As long as you were holding down the bottom, it was tough to beat. But,,,as soon as you got on the upper strings, or past about mid neck, it got lost in the mix.
Nice bass though, hated to get rid of it, but I found myself only using it for a few tunes. Wish I still had it actually, I think I'd drop in some new electronics though.
Warwicks have adjustable nuts. A very positive thing in my opinion.
