Apologies for this 'kind-of' bump before the 36 hours but I feel this is important to the sale! Fender are sending the replacement N3 noiseless bridge pickup and it will be in here in the next 1-2 weeks (it's coming from the USA) so this will be fitted as soon as it arrives so the bass will be back to full working order! I am able to hold for potential buyers until this happens. As time passes I am beginning to change my mind about selling it too so if a sale is not made in the next few weeks I may withdraw it. PM me for information as per normal in the meantime. Thanks!

Bump

A 2016 Specialized Stumpjumper 29er.. Already bought so need to recoup the cash! Got it ex demo (awesome condition) for 1500 reduced from 2200.

Hi, Price: £950 Trade Price: £1000 This is a 2013 American Deluxe Jazz bass in olympic white. It was made in 2013 and bought from new last year. Comes with Noiseless N3 pickups and a Fender hard-case. Also comes with all original documents and truss rod tool, etc. Firstly, I will say that the bridge pick-up is having some issues at the moment where it is very thin. The bass is currently in my local bass shop waiting for either Fender to send the replacement noiseless pickup or for it to be repaired. Unfortunately, this may be a few weeks as Fender are taking a while to send the replacement. This will become clear in the next few days but whilst this is in limbo I am willing to let the bass go for around the £950 mark if it sells before the pickup has been sorted. When it is sorted it will be backup to £950. I know bass gallery have this pickup and they were willing to send it to me posted for around the £50 mark so that covers that if a buyer takes it before the pickup is replaced/repaired. The bass itself is actually still in it's 2 year warranty (in it's 2nd year). The bass itself is in great condition apart from two superficial marks. A bit of paint missing on the body and a small ding by the pickups. I have highlighted these in the photos. This is only superficial though and who wants an un-scarred Fender anyway?

I live not too far away (exeter) and would love to give this a try but am on holiday till Monday! I'll drop you a message then but have a bump on me in the meantime.

[quote name='Sam Warren' timestamp='1458922762' post='3012166'] She's a beauty. Give it some more time. Your hands will adjust. I play one of these, and have small hands. If I could afford it I would have it myself. The most balanced bass I've ever played. They are better than any Thumb or Streamer. [/quote] This.You'll get used to it. If string spacing is an issue it's adjustable? I have my Infinity and my Stage 1 and I can now go from one to the other no issue. Took a few weeks.

[quote name='Stance' timestamp='1458573889' post='3008712'] Hello, Thank you so much for the warning To be honest, I would only consider warwick as a last resort solution! But thankfully, I´m sure my luthier's can hadle itr pretty well (one even is on the road right now with Steve Sarris, so I guess I'm in good hands ) [b]Back to Warwick, I don't think they do good basses anymore... It's all about profit, profit, profit, hence those stupid prices they gave you....[/b] Thanks once again! [/quote] Yes. They are rip-off merchants. I love my two custom shop basses and wouldn't change them for anything but I certainly won't be buying anything new off of them in the future. No worries. I might be interested in this to be honest. I'll have a think and drop you a message. Thanks

[quote name='noise_art' timestamp='1458508484' post='3008233'] Did you try to ask Warwick directly about repair? [/quote] [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1458511357' post='3008272']As to send it to Warwick in Germany - it may be possible, but I have to talk to the Portuguese distributor first (that would be my last option due to the time involved -. it may take months...) [/quote] I wouldn't recommend this. If you want further reasons why look at my thread here for a recent repair quote from Warwick. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275110-warwick-and-their-new-pricing-system/page__hl__warwick__st__0"]http://basschat.co.u..._warwick__st__0[/url] I have had a Warwick with a twisted neck fixed by Noiseworks in Coventry and that one in the thread above fixed by Martin Sims at Sims LED's so this may be of help for any potential buyers. They both were quite cheap too. GLWTS
