    I had my doubts, the construction is different to a Modulus neck (although I could have been sold on Status), while googling B-Quad, you can see that they do look like Modulus. Thanks for confirming.

    Thanks

    I think so.

    4 kilos. Doesn't feel particularly heavy when strapped on.

    Sorry, I made a mistake on the price and I can't edit it. It's £1400.00. 3EQ Straplocks Stealth hardware Rosewood board This bass was made as a special order in 2018. As soon as it was delivered I joined a band that needed a 5-string so it never really got played. As a result, it's still in as-new mint condition, not a mark on it. It has a Hipshot D-tuner fitted and comes with a Music Man hard case. For those not in the know, the SLO special has a narrower nut, similar to a Jazz Bass or Sterling, and they are reasonably rare. Only selling because I can't play at the moment due to a damaged wrist joint from a motorcycle accident, and it might be a year or two until I can get a joint replacement. I have feedback on here, please feel free to check it out. Obviously, no trades, and I would prefer to sit you in front of an amp with a nice cup of tea if you'd like to collect it, but meetups are available and we can discuss couriers at extra cost.

    German built. Bit of a rarity this, as most $$ Warwicks are the cheaper Corvettes. Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fretboard: Wenge String spacing 16.5 mm This bass is in very good general condition. A tiny bit of wear, e.g. to the MEC logos on the pickups which have rubbed off a bit. There is a scuff on the underside of the bass as shown. This isn't a dent, more like a scuff in the finish, and it would probably buff out if it bothered you. Great variety of tones on this bass, you can get a very funky sound, not unlike a vintage jazz bass but with added Warwick growl, or you can go full on rock and metal. The narrow string spacing makes it very fast to play. Semi-hard case and strap with straplocks included. Only selling because I can't play at the moment due to a damaged wrist joint from a motorcycle accident, and it might be a year or two until I can get a joint replacement.

    These are always described as "Very rare", as if rarity was some kind of virtue. What they don't seem to realise is, they are rare because nobody else wanted one.

    "Not sure of the date, but with the Guild humbuckers it should be somewhere between 1970 & 1977." '76 according to the Guild serial checker. I wonder if it has been stored under string tension, as you'd think it might lift the bridge a bit over that period of time.

    Don't know about this "limited edition" but you can pick one up for £600-£700. They sound sublime with an SVT810E cab, which always makes your local venue landlord's face light up with joy when you wheel it in. With a smaller vented cab like a 410HLF, they lose their punch and sound a bit slack, so I sold mine. Also, they weigh as much as a neutron star. Only good for bigger gigs IMO.

    it was an old but absolutely mint immaculate Wal mk 2 which had got to £2K with 3 days to go. Must have been snapped up elsewhere. Mods, might as well delete this thread.....

    Not seen one of these before. Looks heavy, and heavily overpriced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185858049328?hash=item2b4600c530:g:UjwAAOSwNzZjL1Su&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0JXP%2BnWNSEsUz6y0C3Xa87RuyPRY52pCrMyi6XnuCOrGH2gfDEtCdUjb9SQgD4dtHuPgfyKNnqNAYxmtXHnI6qpWGQBUo%2FdRIcKshaQa3eTB3KR1FyIGsfUj5k24Ujc24xaNruFtP%2FayCXIEFKqWvHT4BxgGofk3Nf4Ba69tgDstU3nxgogw4MdcjGBCh2MqQ%2F0BprmMV%2Bfib6ggpCSrnQyw5SPFmk2ecUCACnb9DYAQGTybfAnlDo%2B9TnUwup5wuoCASn8uIWICOalWRkkS6W0%3D|tkp%3ABFBM-Nqu1_Jh

    And why I could never bear owning a Wal or an Alembic. I just don't want to be that worried about dinging it or fret wear. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225534322415?hash=item3482e4a6ef:g:gEYAAOSwmCVkMxID&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0Dc8OusaOpSI2KLiseSATIqrm2z7zX07GoJRABpYiL5coBs4h8%2B5dIofApmAE9ytjhAkJKXU1ciaP215R91BYFZJw6mTLcdrJcKl2KX5hnC8mICeI4Mfc62bjpLgqq1WoZ0Zz6lXV%2FOYdFDRbFyJV2%2BcFy4Dq20P0EqYGWfmxoGzYVsT3%2F2CSnO2nlVJMwiehSpC5spTgCe1BNgD1w41CJcysLAu%2Bg94MBER51s8UOkP9kejvid0pwDI%2FpSl0G%2B1DAdjIY3l9SruVCYU7ztg9Cw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_bartfyYQ

    There is a serial number - could be 05397? Which would make it very early 80's I think. Bridge looks right, could be a much abused Jaydee Roadie.

    Gerald is that you?

    On a rosewood board, the "grooviest" thing about this bass will be the fretboard..... Already looks a bit eroded.

    I kind of thought that too, they were for absolute beginners before Squier took over. I have read some threads that say that the wood and build quality on the necks is excellent though, so they have become kind of legendary, a bit like JV's have hence the high price perhaps? No personal experience as to whether that's true or not, and i certainly wouldn't splurge that much on one. I'd imagine that these are only rare by dint of the number that were abused and busted up by their teenage owners, they were hardly a low production number instrument. The only reason that Planet Earth is not neck deep in Squiers by now is the number that end up in a skip every year.

    Great if you need to play basslines in the key of H though.

    That's actually a different band altogether, but I think the "manager" of this one wrote something similar....
  23. Max Normal
    Terrible photos. Did it belong to the bassist from Blur?
  24. Max Normal
    I thought of that one when I was photoshopping the graphics. It's a bit cheesy, but the singer actually really does do one of the better Plant impersonations.

    It's been up twice, £700 last time:
