Best looking Stingray I've ever seen. Gorgeous. Good luck with the sale and the wrist recovery. Stay safe!
Thanks

Nice Bass, can you adjust the string spacing on the bridge?
I think so.

Stunning - sad old git with dodgy shoulders and a wobbly back question but what is the weight?

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.

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.

What would one normally go for
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.

gone
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.
-
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.

Hmm interesting - I’ve owned one Jaydee the shape looks fine but headstock and tuner placement looks odd to me. Is it a copy? Hand painted body or sprayed? Pickup is not the usual wooden laminate cover. Could be a nice project if it’s real but there are usually serial numbers or stamps on the back of the headstock that I can’t see on these pics - but I am viewing on a phone screen.
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.

It probably just meads the truss rod adjusting to compensate for this flat would strings.
Gerald is that you?

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

Being ancient, I remember when Fender released the Bullet instruments. They were a basic/budget line. The current versions still are. The seller is either delusional or hoping for a buyer who is.
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.

Jeez that's some overblown tripe. Do you sound like Led Zep? Do you make some attempt to look like them with outfit and stagecraft? We don't need your cheeky and amusing, faux authentic theatrical backstory. Alan's probably the type of guy to Google himself daily so I won't write out his full name because he's already flooded the internet with it, even when doing the bio of his bandmates.
That's actually a different band altogether, but I think the "manager" of this one wrote something similar....

Terrible photos. Did it belong to the bassist from Blur?

The songs remain the same. Good strap line. I'll give them that (though I dare say that was 'inherited')
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:

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.
