  1. Priced to sell. Mint, case, documents. No trades. Up for sale is 2010 Limited Edition Left Handed Warwick Corvette. A stunning example. Excellent & in mint condition. One previous owner, who appeared to have hardly played it. I purchased it in c.2018/19 and have only played it a handful of times. It has lived 99% of its time in the case. I am a guitarist and occasionally dip into bass - I thought I would play more but life got in the way. And that is not to even open up my journey into left-handed guitar playing - I am a lefty who has played righty since aged 12. For various reasons, I went all out for a few years and taught myself to play lefty. This purchase was part of that journey. Long story short my "experiment" failed and I have resorted to playing right-handed again. Hence, sadly, selling this wonderful instrument. Neck, set up, action, playability, feel are all superb. And sound versatility, wow! There are just loads of options. This is a real example of beautiful luthier workmanship with absolute top tier materials and hardware. Lovely to hold and play sitting or standing. A real eye catcher! Condition is as photohraphed. I have tried to detail every angle. All electronics work 100%. Blurb / Description. It was constructed with light weight Ash body topped with nicely figured Ziricote and 4 pcs maple + Ekanga veneer neck thru body module with maple fingerboard and block inlays. The overall weight is less than 10 pounds. The neck profile is relatively slim when comparing to other Warwick makes this limited corvette more enjoyable to play. Warwick described this Ltd edition Corvette as “it has Fender Jazz written all over it”. It sports a pair of twin single-coil J-style pickups, two 3-way coil selection mini-toggles (single/humbucker/parallel), active MEC electronic (which can be bypassed via the push/pull volume knob), master volume, pickup balance knob, 3 band EQ that boost or cut the treble, mid and bass. This is one of the most versatile bass designed by Warwick. Other features: Just-a-nut III, Strap locks, COA, Warwick care kit and a non-original hard case that fits the bass like a glove. Warwick only made 300 of this worldwide including both 4- and 5- stringers. This is #121 and was engraved by laser at the back of the headstock. To make it even more collectible, this bass was hand signed by the president of Warwick, Hans-Peter Wilfer. Grab this before someone does!!!

  2. That's right, Tom. They are flats. Thanks for the album complement. I also had the low B custom made direct from Labella on the house. Something to do with the taper at the ball end and where the silk began at the other, I recall. The chap, Eric Cocco VP, was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. For future orders of six minimum, he just said to contact him.
  3. [size=3][font=Arial][color=#000000]Best offer or part-ex for a lefty welcome. [/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font=Arial][color=#000000]Beautifully crafted custom designed 5 string fretless extra long scale fretless by Jon Letts form Letts Basses in 2011. [/color][/font] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Only selling because I am actually a south-paw but played right for most of my life. In last few years I have been experimenting with playing lefty and finally made the decision to commit completely. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]It is in mint condition, never been gigged and only been used in the studio to record one album.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]See the links below to listen. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][url="http://www.mvulamandondo.com/album/ambush/"]http://www.mvulamand...m/album/ambush/[/url][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ambush/id648105890"]https://itunes.apple...ush/id648105890[/url][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][color=#333333][font=Arial]Practically immaculate cosmetic condition. Barely any ware to fretboard due to lack of playing. Pick up switch connection is a bit temperamental in a couple of the 5 positions. A bit of knob fiddling and it works. Needs a service or switch replacement. I don't want to mess with it before selling. Volume & tone knobs working.[/font][/color][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Sound is amazing and very versatile. Feel is superb. Well balanced and hangs perfectly. Can really feel the notes vibrating through the body whilst playing. Letts uses only top notch hardware and the pickups are also scatter wound custom. Pick up configuration and overall design began from my own ideas inspired by seeing Jon's basses online with Letts' expertise and style creating this beauty. Visit his website to see the woods and hardware that he uses. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]Pick up settings as follows:[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]1) Bridge single coil - vol 1[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]2) 1/2 tapped single coils & 1/2 neck humbucking in series (vol 2)[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]3) Bridge + neck in parallel (both vols)[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]4) Neck humbucking in parallel (both vols)[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]5) Neck humbucker in series (vol 1) [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times]Ships with basic hard case. [/font][/color] [font=Arial][color=#000000]Sell for best offer or part-ex for an equivalent quality lefty (does not have to be 5 string or fretless). I realise that the latter is unlikely as there probably aren't any lefties going righty out there![/color][/font][/size] [color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]I am located in Haslemere, Surrey but can also come down to Brighton or meet somewhere equidistant for anyone to view and test out.
