    The resistors will be there for a reason. No manufacturer adds cost and complexity without good reason. Could it be to balance the circuit? Best thing is to email Warwick and ask them. Likely you will get a reply from Hans Peter Wilfer himself and he is incredibly helpful. When you email Warwick take photos of the front and back of the bass and the control cavity and serial number. This way you should be able to get a complete history of the bass.

    I have a spare 5 string black tailpiece which I had filed to widen the B string slot to overcome this issue. I know you have gold hardware but if you want a cheap fix, you can have this tail piece for a tenner inc post. I know use Warwick Red Label strings instead of D'addarios so I don't have this issue any more.

    Don't normally like single cuts but this is very tasteful and rather sexy.

    What is the point of this post?

    The neck wood is almost certainly maple. The grain and flaming give it away. The fretboard looks to rosewood but I could be wrong. It could help to list the string spacing at the bridge as it looks very tight - in fact it doesn't look to deviate much from nut to bridge... GLWTS

    Not surprised this sold so quick, what bargain for such an incredible instrument!

    It's robust enough for Warwick to use. This method is a version of how they finish their "natural oil" basses. See here for my results using this method... And here:

    I would recommend using Warwick wax. Once the surface is clean and ready to be finished, it's pretty much idiot proof to apply. Apply a generous amount to a large clean lint free cloth that has been folded several times. Heat the wax and the cloth using a hot plate - I use a George Foreman. Once the wax is melted and the cloth is hot, simply rub it into the body and the neck. Rinse and repeat until you have applied it to the whole of the body and neck and it looks and even colour(the oils in the wax will darken the wood slightly as they are absorbed) make sure to keep the cloth hot as you apply the melted wax - the heat will help the oils penetrate the wood. Leave the bass for a few hrs to allow the oils in the wax to soak in to the wood and then do it all again. After 24hrs use another clean lint free cloth to wipe off any excess wax - you can also then polish the finish or not depending on how matt you want it.

    What kind of neck joint is that. Doesn't look like any kind of set neck I've ever seen before. Beautiful bass and GLWTS

    Good Lord that is a rather tasty looking bass! I don't normally like single cuts but this is gorgeous. Build quality looks first rate as well. GLWYS

    Wow, looks like a very high quality instrument for not a lot of money! GLWTS

    Also try Interparcel for great rates and insurance coverage up to £2000 - depending on carrier. Also, this bass is excellent quality and, at this price, crazy value for money!

    Not to mention cheap...

    What a beauty! Yeah defo a mkI. The IIs have soapbar pups where as all the Is had jazz pups. This is probably the first 4 string I've seen for sale from the original series. Top quality Japanese craftsmanship and killer tones. I had a 4 and a 5 string II and loved both
  17. dyerseve
    Super comfy then and compliments the wider spacing perfectly. Around £7000 to buy one of these new today!!!
  18. dyerseve
    Because they are Warwick! I have a 1990 Stage 1 broadneck with Bartolinis and adore the neck and spacing! What's the profile like on this? Mine is quite a thin D profile
  19. dyerseve
    Could well be, couldn't find any mention of it on tinternet though...
  20. dyerseve
    Are the photos showing properly for everyone? To me they look stretched which is a shame as it looks like a nice bass but hard to say exactly from what i can see...
  21. dyerseve
    Sensible offers considered
  22. dyerseve
    Yep, looks like every piece of Ovangkol I've ever owened or seen and ive owned a lot. So actually in this case I say the spec sheet is erroneous
  23. dyerseve
    Final price drop to £3100 shipped anywhere in the world - fully tracked and insured
  24. dyerseve
    Looks like it could be good value for money if you're in the market... Look at this on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202776756230
