^^ this would be perfect for a Warwick non-coloured oil finish, but not for the satin finish of the coloured oil. If I put any wax on it it will come up to a glossy shine and that is the opposite of what I want I plucked up the courage to use a little fine wire wool very sparingly, seems to have done the trick Cheers guys.

He seems like a very angry person. There is something about the whole listing I don't like...can't decide what though, other than its general angry tone. I also don't like that it has sold (relatively cheaply) twice and yet it is still up for sale, despite his reasons...

Fair play, John and that is a cracking score Denzel

[quote name='Denzel' timestamp='1402955958' post='2478353'] This arrived in the post this morning... [url="http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/artform71/media/JE3.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Oof, thats a bit different, what is that?

By due course, do you mean this evening? Here is Andy Irvine giving my SS1 a whirl http://youtu.be/U12vvP1rkys

Hello, fellow Warwicker

My Warwick has a lovely coloured oil/satin finish, however on the back there are a couple of shiny marks. It is not play wear so I imagine it has at some point come into contact with something oily. Wiping with a cloth/water and a tiny bit of lemon oil has not had any effect. I am quite anxious about not trying to polish it too much as I don't want to buff it into a gloss type shine. Any tips for removing these marks? I can't photograph them, they are only visible with light shining on them, but I am sure you will know what kind of marks I mean.

Enjoy it mate, I love my ABII, and they are remarkably light. Usually I hate lightweight basses as for tone is too often sacrificed, however Dingers are the exception

She's a beauty! The finish on the neck feels so good in the hand and she is punchy as hell. Cheers to Nick at Warwick for setting this up for me [URL=http://s741.photobucket.com/user/Bassmankev/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0195_zpsrnucgz1c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx59/Bassmankev/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0195_zpsrnucgz1c.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402568905' post='2474814'] It's not a "why do you like them?" question. For me it was more a "what makes this bass more special than any other Fender Jazz?" question. I could understand it if the OP had actually had a go on the bass in question and it was an awesome sounding and playing instrument, but it's just some photos in an eBay listing. So what is it? [/quote] Exactly my point.

How come?

How come?

[quote name='alembic63' timestamp='1402423174' post='2473389'] Horses for courses mate......I started playing bass in 1974 at the age of 11, all I ever wanted in them days was a real Fender jazz..it took me the best part of 10 years before I could afford one, Ive loved them ever since. The older jazzers evoke a feeling for me that I cant really explain other than to say, that every time I pick one up, or see an old vintage jazz ,that feeling of the first time I owned one comes flooding back. For me its not about money or making money on old vintage guitars, it's the way they make me feel.....but hey...each to his own [/quote] Great reason and one I couldn't understand having never had that desire for one. Its when I see someone more my age group (25-30) describing these as their dream instruments that confuses me somewhat, but as you say, each to their own,

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402417885' post='2473297'] Can someone please explain what is some wonderful about this bass. It looks just like a Fender jazz to me. [/quote] I'm at a complete loss too... In many people's opinion older Fenders may sound or even play better (differently) than new ones, but how can you get that from that listing? When I have more money than sense, I am going to buy a load of old Fenders, a load of new Fenders and a load of cheap eastern copies and see what I can pass off as what in a blind test
