  1. Ok, here we go (sniff). I'm going to have to get rid of my 2003 Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman 5 string. I've been threatening to do this for a while, but now redundancy kinda forces a downscaling in the bass dept as I don't need two 5 strings. So here it is. I'm sure most of you know all about this model, or can Google it for more details. But for those who don't: Bolt-on US Swamp Ash body with AA-Flamed Maple top Ovangkol neck Wenge fingerboard Scale length: 34" (long scale) 24 frets Passive MEC J/MM pickups with open pole pieces Active MEC 3-way electronics Honey Violin Oil Finish Gold Warwick tuners and gold 2-piece Warwick bridge Warwick security locks Just-A-Nut III Weight: 4.1 kg The mix of the MM and J pickups means it's that little bit more flexible in tone than a number of the Warwicks i've played - frankly it's a superb bass. And it's my baby. Attached some pictures that don't really do it justice - there's a wee scratch on the back by the neck bolts which i've tried to show, and that's really the only flaw in this - it's otherwise in superb condition. I'll throw in some Warwick wax and the wee cloth you get with it, a pair of Warwick Gold Straplocks, a spare Just-a-Nut III nut, and also (da daaah) i'll throw in my lovely (and only) SKB hardcase, and (da daaaaah) shipping to Mainland UK. Can't say fairer than that, can I? A full Warwick kit for a knockdown price. Asking for £700 all in. Let me know if you're interested. edit: as it looks like this isn't going anywhere just now, I am interested in a trade for a decent Warwick 4-string, preferably a $$. Not many other 4-strings taking my fancy at the moment but open to offers.
  2. [quote name='BassBunny' post='424686' date='Mar 4 2009, 12:17 AM']You'll regret it.....but that's easy for me to say, never been made redundant. Sorry to hear it and sorry it has come to this. I have just sold one of mine, but therei s no way I would sell "Midnight". They are indeed the most flexible bass i have ever owned. Every Home should have one.[/quote] I know i'll regret it, thats the thing. I may even find one to buy back when things pick up again. But needs must. And I know at least it will find a good home on here!
  3. Ok, i've had this for about 3 months now and I really can't justify owning yet another bass. Redundancy means I have to sell. And it sucks - sonically this is the most flexible bass i have *ever* played. Now i'm not brilliant at specs but I think these are correct. 2003 5 string Model - 21 frets - 34" scale Cherry Burst finish on body and satin finish on neck Swamp ash body with maple neck, and I think its a rosewood fingerboard String through body, although the bridge can be top loaded as well - 2 MFD humbuckers - looks like a Musicman. The pre-amp controls are just incredible - 3-way pickup switch, 2-way series/parallel switch, 3-way passive/active/active with treble boost switch, volume knob, treble knob, and a bass knob. Any sound you like, seriously. The guy who sold this to me had also replaced the controls knobs/switches with brand new ones that are normally fitted to an L-2500, so actually these are better than a brand new Tribute L-2500. Attached are some pictures - now, i'm no photographer, and as the bass is in immaculate condition any marks you can see I can assure you are just sweaty fingerprints of mine or a but of dust on the bridge that need a clean.... I can promise you it will be even more immaculate when shipped. I'm looking for £350 not including shipping, which i'm happy to sort out with the buyer in any way they like. I don't have a spare case to sell with it either i'm afraid, but i'm sure we can sort something out.

  6. I can heartily recommend these basses, and in fact i'm looking to sell one in the very near future as well! Will be watching this thread wth interest.

But i'm in Edinburgh.....;(
  8. Absolutely love the blighter. Apart from being a beautifully crafted (and yes, heavy) piece of equipment, it feels fantastic to play, and that single coil pickup helps gives it a really good range of tones. It's certainly done me proud playing anything between heavy rock and jazz, and while I find the output pretty hot some light compression has helped smooth that out a bit but keep the growl. After playing it for about 18 months, I actually think now that a $$ would suit the kind of music i'm using it for and would be very interested in trying/buying/trading for one. There's one or two going on the forums recently which have piqued my interest..... But yeah - fantastic bass.
  9. [quote name='cockbongo' post='350849' date='Dec 10 2008, 03:24 PM']Ah, I see. So anyone have any ideas how much I should ask for it? (The Warwick, that is...)[/quote] I'll get some pics up of this tonight, see if that helps.

  12. Hiya, Well, thanks to imminent redundancy i'm having to think seriously about selling on my baby. Not my real baby, you understand, but my Warwick. It's either a 2003 or a 2005 Corvette FNA Jazzman 5 model (can't remember - i'm at work so don't have the serial number handy), in honey violin, and in amazing condition. I've kept it oiled and waxed since i've had it and apart from some wear on the finish on the back it's well taken care of. Not changed anything since I bought it, same MEC pickup configuration, all gold hardware and active electronics. I'm interested in knowing how much I should realistically ask for it - I know Warwicks aren't as in demand as they once were and with this economic climate blah blah - can any Warwick experts help me out? Thanks in advance guys C ps - had a search on ebay and it's pretty much identical to this model: [url="http://tinyurl.com/5ohvzo"]http://tinyurl.com/5ohvzo[/url]
  13. Might be interested in the 1x15 cab - do you have any pics?
  14. [quote name='GremlinAndy' post='324318' date='Nov 7 2008, 04:40 PM']Hi Damo! How's things buddy? He's in Edinburgh (see 'From' in his member description). Doh! Now get back to work you monkey! (LOL) Andy[/quote] Yup, sending from Edinburgh. Any interest?
  15. [quote name='damo' post='324309' date='Nov 7 2008, 04:30 PM']where from?[/quote] What do you mean - where did I buy it or where would I be sending it from?

  17. [quote name='markyboy2106' post='321416' date='Nov 3 2008, 10:59 PM']The sale of the bass wah is currently on hold awaiting response to my PM. I am afraid the bottom feeder is being withdrawn due to a change of heart on my account, I couldn't bear to let the funk go completely. my apologies to those interested.[/quote] Let me know if the sale of the Bass Wah falls through...
  18. I'll take the chorus and the power bank mate. Pm'ing you now.
