The finish on mine looks bomb-proof! Edit: sorry, bit of a thread derail there. I'd say 400-450 depending on condition, finish, etc. As you were. [/quote] Haha keeping to the thread, i'd say £400-500 too, i think they're a lot of bass for the money and easily worth more IMO. Going off thread, well it took about a week to sand, blood sweat and fears. It still isn't perfect but its livable. I so much prefer the bass now though. Despite going all passive with Wizards trads it still retains some of that woody growl of the Warwick tone. Its a weird one as i didn't really believe all that 'it's in the wood' milarky but i guess now i'm a believer Anyhow, i've said it a billion times...great basses!!!...and now my main gigging bass...again Link here to build thread & pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207017-advice-on-finishing-a-maple-warwick-body/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207017-advice-on-finishing-a-maple-warwick-body/[/url]

I've just recently sanded down my green fortress to reveal a lovely maple grain, two piece - love it! They're great basses for the money although I put a passive set up in my bass with wizards for a more traditional sound. I paid £350 for mine about a year ago, the previous owner I believe had it from new and paid over £1k back in the 90's. My Fortress has become my main gigging bass for my soul band especially now that I've ditched the bogie green colour, much prefer the oiled natural looks, superb slim necks too and top Warwick build quality. Mine is definitely a keeper

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1367924708' post='2071011'] Birchwood casey tru oil Really brings out the best in the wood! Finish it of with a bit of their wax and that's it! Nice and easy [/quote] Cheers Buddy, oiling right now

Hello. I've pretty much done what seems like 20hrs of sanding over the weekend on my ex bogie green Warwick Fortress. Now it is a natural beauty with a lovely wood grain - I love it, I believe it is a 2 piece maple body. I guess I'm a little stuck on what to do next if honest. I want to keep it natural but don't mind if it darkens or yellows a little. Sooooo, I have some Linseed oil - should I just oil it then perhaps put some bees wax on? Or should i try a different type of oil or something else???? Any other suggestions ??? I am of course a complete novice at this but so far so good Thanks - A photo from 2 days ago - [attachment=134264:912999_10151462278544473_149322798_n.jpg]

Bought a Carvin 2x10 off Tim. Top guy and good communications all round...even managed to get my cab delivered long distance. Buyers & sellers can deal in confidence. Nice one matey

Recently bought some Seymour Duncan PU's for my jazz. Wilco is a top chap and great comm's too. Buyers & sellers deal with confidence. Cheers matey.

Chris sold me some Wizard 84's, just set them up with a new 60's concentric pot set up...perfect. Chris is a top fella throughout - buy & sell with confidence

John's the man...nuff said! 60's Concentric jazz set up...absolute perfection & awesome

I've got passive 64's P/J in my Warwick Fortress. It is by far my favourite sounding bass, 2 vol 2 tone config wired by BC's Kiogon. Results are Very warm, vintage sounds...a superb combination in my opinion - highly recommend for funk, soul etc

What pick ups are they ?

Breakestra or some Funkadelic. Earth Wind & Fires first album is great too 😎
