Back in business.
I have been incredibly rude and absent due to health issues, then work issues, then family, then work again. I apologize to those who sent me messages and then found to be abandonned. Very sorry about this.
Anyway, those two basses are still there.
Shipping possible, but expect some overcosts , especially for the US where, due to CITES regulations, there is a risk of Custom problems, involving getting a CITES Certificate and a Manufacturers Certificate for the date and woods.As for trade options (only with cash my way) : Full Tube heads (Ampeg SVT, Mesa Prodigy, Orange AD200...); VERY welcome is the Warwick Thumb BO5 (BROADNECK only.); or the Sandberg VM5. Dolphin Pro1 5 Broadneck (only) . Ibanez BTB Terra Firma welcome, Ibanez AFR, too, if 5 strings.
Open to sensible offers, too.

I so want this.
But I only have basses to trade... dammit. -
Happy to help in any way I can, man. You still have my number, right ?
-

Sold ! Bass received 🙂
-
Bought a Thumb BOBN5 from @sebekoo7.
Fast communication, shipped securely via DPD, in a bulletproof, handmade crate. And the bass arrived exactly as described, in top condition.
Highly recommended.

Discussions on going, but still there.

I can also be interested in an Orange Head (Either AD200 or OB1 or 4Stroke), Mesa Boogie 4:88 head, ...
A Fender Flea Jazz 62, US P-Bass... partial trades are open.
-
That's why I want a second one :-)
-
C'mon...
It's funny how times are a changin'.
A few yeas back, Dolphins in this price range lasted about a week and boom, gone.
Today, the love seems to be gone. OR the money, maybe.
Anyway... Bump :-)

Yes, I’ll be grieving when they’re gone 🙂
-
Sorry to hijack, but the Dolphin 5 of fbassclaf had me tempted :-)

Gorgeous! Wood combo + barts is killer .
What is the string spacing at the bridge on these? Is it 20mm like the SS1's?
Yes, 20mm. and very wide neck. I love mine.

I’ll take it.
When I have the cash.

Up for grabs are not one, but TWO pretty rare Warwick Dolphin Pro1.
The first one is Sofia, a 1998 Dolphin Pro1, one of the last with the body made out of Boiré wood. (African Rosewood). Neck is Wengé/Zebrano with a Wengé fingerboard. MEC pickups and electronics. I used it A LOT, and therefore there are some minor marks (thumb over the neck p'up, and a small ding at the end fin of the bass.
The bas is not entirely original as I changed the pot buttons for a nice one with a red top for the preamp, and the tuners were changed for GOTOH BG707 (thos who know the reputation of Warwick tuners can be thankful 🙂 ). Flaws appear in the pictures.
Sold with the OHSC that is made with the Titanic anchor.

Soundclip here :
This one can be yours for GBP1800 / 2000€
The second one is Elise, a VERY rare 1989 Dolphin Pro1 in Blueburst. There were only 4 made in this color, 2 with ebony fretboard and EMG pickups (For french bassist Pascal Mulot) of which only one survived. The two other were made for a pro German bass player with wengé fingerboard and Bartolini Pickups. this is one of those. Boiré body and super thin Wengé neck, wengé fingerboard. This one has a very specific tone, almost nasal, and a lot of character.
Fully original, frets have been levelled a few years back giving a very nice thin fret feeling. Very great shape except for a few small marks on the upper horn (I suspect tapping with some bracelets 🙂 )the Back cover has been signed by Pascal Mulot when I met him.
This one is priced at 2300€/2000gbp, given the rarity of the 89 models, and this one in particular.
Sold with the OHSC that is made with the Titanic anchor, also.

Basses are located in Northern France, and I can pick up my fellow Britons friends at the Lille Station should you want to travel with Eurostar.
I'd rather not ship but will do if the buyer arrange and pay for the courrier.
Prices are rather fair in my opinion, but if you feel you can make very near offer please do.
I can accept a partial trade, but I'm VERY specific about the trade-ins :
VERY welcome is the Warwick Thumb BO5 (BROADNECK only.); or the Sandberg VM5. Dolphin Pro1 5 Broadneck (only) . Ibanez BTB Terra FIrma welcome, Ibanez AFR, too, if 5 strings.
only 4-strings I can accept is a Precision Bass : Custom Shop, relic'd, but non Maple, non sunburst.
Reason for saelling those is I have commissionned a Stradi, and don't play a lot on 4-stringers anymore.

Very interested as those are the perfect companion to my Line6 POD XT BASS Live, with built in emulations that are fully compatible with the Variax basses.
Not that the price is too high, but short on cash for the moment, unless a trade is possible ?
Regardnig the Red/Green : from the User Manual :
RED/GREEN SELECT But even a control as simple a volume offers you more on the Variax Bass. If you press the Volume knob down, you'll notice the light near the MODEL SELECT knob changes color. When the Indicator is green, the first, or “green,” variation of that MODEL SELECT position is active. When it’s red, you’ve got a second, “red” variation of the Model instead
And, i think the full list of basses is :
