  1. i will come back to you. Love a headed status.
  2. Price drop, Was £875 now £840!!!!!!!! This bass has a great low action and the neck is smooth and fast and just had a fresh waxing with Warwick wax. Body of the bass has some mojo but has been given a good polish, a number of small dints here and there but still in good condition (see photos). Frets have near zero wear. Pickups are MEC in the neck and a Delano MM in the bridge, the two switches are one for the sims blue led's and the other is a 3 way switch is for the MM pickup when the switch is in the up position the bridge pick-up is humbucking and routed in series. When the switch is in the middle position the bridge pick-up is single coil and routed as humcanceling with the neck pick-up. When the switch is in the down position the bridge pick-up is humbucking and routed in parallel parallel, series, split i believe. Electronics: Seymour Duncan Basslines preamp. Push/Pull Volume/Pickup Pan Control (Part #M89252 -2 x 220K, 500K)* Treble Tone Control (Part #M85100 - 100K) Mid Tone Control (Part #M85100 - 100K) Bass Tone Control (Part #M85100 - 100K). By pulling on the volume knob you will activate the slap contour EQ curve on the Seymour Duncan Basslines preamp. This curve will boost the bass frequencies and the high fre-quencies, while slightly cutting the mid frequencies. Pulling the knob does not deactivate the active preamp. The Seymour Duncan preamp is considered better than the more common MEC electronics. Sims LED's are fitted and are bright blue and really do go well with the colour of the bass. Body is swamp ash with a generous slab of flamed maple top. Info from the Warwick serial number search: I :numb Serial Number: A-080914-01 Description: Corvette FNA, 4-string Ocean Blue Oil finish Swamp Ash / A Flamed Maple top body Ovangkol neck Gold hardware Made in Germany
  3. Bum, was too late. Shame
  4. Hi Seb, Sorry not my thing at the moment. Cheers Rob
  5. Amazing bass that really does feel like a vintage bass. The flea bass comes with stacked pots which in my opinion are much better than the VVT controls fitted to most fender jazz basses. Comes with fender gig bag. Social distancing collection possible, postage as buyers cost.

  6. Right quick question, can you buy chrome metal covers for standard J type pickups.

      Amazon sell a few. But I doubt if many are original Fender products.

      Will have a look is that the actual pickup cover? not the big metal covers?

      Ah. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the ashtrays.

  7. This bass is just amazing, it is as new and has hardly been played, never left the house. Fender have told me that only 212 of these basses where made worldwide and only 12 for the UK market. Its made in the USA and comes with its own very special case also. 20200213_180352.mp4
  8. Hi All, Looking to sell my $$, black burst gloss finish and in great condition. Very little buckle rash to the back. Comes with soft case or hard flight case at additional cost. Also comes with the Warwick user kit.
  9. Unicorn made a bass for Mark King, here is a picture of him with it and the creator and the rest of the band at the time.
  10. Oxfordshire for the bass case if possible please, if you have one drop me a line

      Not sure if this helps, but i made one last week to post a bass within the UK.

      Get two strong cardboard bike boxes from Halfords, and an hour or so with a Stanley knife and some gaffer tape.

      Cut one of the boxes into an oversized guitar case, and cut the other box into sheets/smaller pieces to reinforce the back, front, ends and create a cradle for the neck/headstock. Pack the rest with crunched up newspaper or bubblewrap, and you'll have a free, very light, very strong container for shipping.

      Gear4Music was fine for me when I did this. The buyer paid for a case to be delivered to me and then I used the box to send it to him with the bass inside. Worked out really well actually, with the seller happy with everything!

  12. These are great basses i have two four strings, lucky this does not have 4 or i would be counting the pennies for this one too 🙂 GLWTS
  13. £1000 for an Alpha, if i did not own 2 already this would be on its way to me. These bases are something else they just make you play better and i have played allot of top end basses. Come of guys grab a bargain.
