    **Final Price drop to 1350GBP** I'm in the process of downsizing my bass collection - for sale here is a very rare Warwick Nobby Meidel from 1983 - this is number 19! Included in the sale is the original stand, strap extension, straplocks and a brand new ABS hardcase to keep the bass safe during shipping! The bass was built in 1983 and is all original except for the strap extension and the straplock buttons and straplocks, and of course the strings! The bass has been well looked after but as you would expect from a 40 year old instrument, there are signs of wear and some other minor cosmetic flaws - all of which have been shown in the photos - particularly the last 8 photos. The bass was recently in the hands of a local luthier to give it a once over. It has just had new strings put on and a set-up done. The truss rod was also examined and it operates perfectly. I will include an allen key for adjusting the truss rod as regular ones dont fit due to the tight access As you would expect from a 40 year old bass, there is some wear to the frets but there is plenty of life left in them yet. Weight is 3,23Kg/7,12lbs Here are the details for this particular bass. These details are kindly provided by Warwick CEO Hans-Peter Wilfer: Nobby Meidel well it is one of the first ones... you are lucky... No. 19.... must be some there from April / May 1983.... not later... wow you are really lucky... - Bass Nobby Meidel Serial Number 019 Year 1983 Month April or May Number 019 Neck Wood Rosewood with Maple lamination Stripe Fingerboard Rosewood with mother of Pearl Dot Inlays Frets Jumbo Warwick Frets Zero Frett Nut Brass NM Headstock Version Neck construction Neckthrough Body 4 pcs. lamination, solid Rosewood Surface natural Highpolish Pickups passive Schaller PJ Pickups Electronic passive MEC Electronic Hardware Gold Hardware made by Schaller Made in West Germany / Pretzfeld / Franconia I hope this assist you .... very rare model these days.. If you have any questions please let me know. The bass will be shipped inside the brand new ABS hardcase. The bass will be well packed within the case with plenty of additional packaging. The ABS hardcase will ship within a shipping carton. Shipping to the UK is 105GBP including full insurance.

    **SOLD** I'm in the process of downsizing my bass collection - the latest offering is my 2010 Spector Rebop 5, DLX FM. It is a wonderful sounding, easy to play and versatile bass equiped with EMG-HZ passive pickups mated to a Spector Tonepump Pre Amp. At only 3.7 kg, it's also very light and well balanced. The 35-inch scale lends a lot of clarity and punch to the B string but playing this bass you never feel like you have to stretch to play any of the notes. The bass is in good used condition - with a few minor blemishes as seen in the photos - but everything works as it should, including the truss rod and electronics. The bass is located in Germany but I am happy to ship to the UK. Shipping is 75GBP which includes full insurance

    Final price drop to £1000!

    Just to confirm that the tools arrived and function perfectly. Thank you @tauzero for pointing me in the right direction!

    Great looking bass for peanuts! Looks an awful lot like a Tune Bass Maniac?

    Lovely bass and a very fair price. I have to ask though, wtf is that for a Nut???
  7. dyerseve
    Lol, how very rude of me! I am away from home currently. I have one more on the way that wont arrive until early October. When it does arrive, this is what it will look like...

    Thank you very much @tauzero ! Thats extremely helpful. As im located in Germany i had to find an alternative as they wouldnt ship here. However i found the same thing much cheaper and with free shipping from Amazon US. For others in my predicament this is what i have ordered: Harpsicle 18532 Impact Wrench Afinacion Performance Profile Harp https://amzn.eu/d/bIPm3xr

    Has anyone found an alternative for the original Tool as i have two Pedullas and neither has one. Ive heard of people using an "autoharp tuning wrench" however i have tried 2 different ones and neither fit...

    It definitely isnt spalted anything - burl something yes, spalted something no
  11. dyerseve
    Cracking looking bass but i believe that is maple burl rather than spalted maple...
  12. dyerseve
    Damn, thats a lot of bass for not a lot of money! Looks cool too 😎
  13. dyerseve
    Is it just me or does the core wood look like cork???
  14. dyerseve
    Not to mention the seller says the neck is bowed and "they aren't sure if the truss rod works"...
  15. dyerseve
    Do you wear a Belt or a belt-sander? Very nice bass. GLWTS
  16. dyerseve
    I have a 78 with the epoxy pre and it is truly killer!
  17. dyerseve
    Can you please clarify, are you selling a complete bass? Just wondering why the electronics, shown installed in the bass in the photos, appear to be listed separately your advert...
  18. dyerseve
    I would pay £100 not to own that!
  19. dyerseve
    Great looking bass! That trim pot on the pre amp adjusts the preset mid range point which changes the character of the bass dramatically allowing for even more tonal variety.

    I still dont get it - why would you want to know how much you need to change it at the 12th fret - that only services half of the fretboard... Typically I never measure the action when setting up any of my basses, I just keep going lower until fret buzz intervenes. Then I raise the action a fraction at a time until there is no fret buzz on the last few frets as they are always the last to buzz. I have only measured the action on this occasion to compare it to what others are achieving with their P basses
  21. dyerseve
    For me it makes zero sense to measure at the 12th fret as it's not the highest the action will be and, depending on the relief set, will not be indicative of the action across the neck.
  22. dyerseve
    Sorry for any confusion, I am measuring 2.5mm action(distance between bottom of the string and the top of the fret) at the 20th fret
  23. dyerseve
    I can't get the action lower without getting buzzing
  24. dyerseve
    thank you, yes I have already seen that. What would help is if I had a brain! I just measured the relief again(corrrectly this time though!) and I am getting around 2,5mm. Still much too high for my liking though. My go to bass is a '87 JD Thumb which plays like a dream with an action of no more 1,5mm across all the strings.
  25. dyerseve
    thank you, that is very useful to know. Looks like I need to get a pro to sort out the frets in that case. Out of interest, what kind of relief have you set to achieve that action?
