    If you highlighted to new potential owners that it also has the "feature" of needing a complete new spray job which they have to arrange and pay for, you could easily ask £35k!

    Why is it unfinished though? What's with the unpainted areas on the back of what's left of the headstock and the cutout for the new bridge? Not to mention the hideous looking area around the bridge? If you are going to ask top dollar, you should at least make it look like a finished article! As for it bring unique, anyone can drill holes in any bass and call it unique...
  3. dyerseve
    That's possible. In that case, that is all they needed to say...

    Is it too much effort for you to post a link like every other person in the ebay thread?

    stone cold bargain! must resist!!!

    Awesome bass - my old one. The pickups have "made in Germany" printed on the underside - so they are either MEC or Schaller. Given that Warwick used MEC so much in the 90s then it's most likely they are MECs

    My first real bass in the exact same colour! These are incredible basses with great tone and rock solid build quality. Grab a bargain!
  8. dyerseve
    What a bargain! that makes it only 100€ now - I will buy 10 of them please!

    As for a replacement, I was very happy with the John East pre that I ordered. These pres are very configurable to you requirements in terms of controls and knob count...
  11. dyerseve
    OK thanks for the info - very interesting! I've owned 2 MVPs and only ever had them with a Bart 2 or 3 band active Pre-Amps with the normal 4 or 5 knob config. I've never heard of a pre that operates in the way you describe, hence my confusion.

    I wouldn't use the regular Warwick straplocks - they are rubbish. You can find videos online of people wiggling their straps loose from them with little effort. Plenty of corresponding horror stories as well. Warwick have recently released a "new" design of their straplocks which looks "incredibly similar" to Schaller straplocks - but half the price. You could try them...

    I'm confused, you say you want to replace the existing pre amp but the controls you describe are those of a passive bass - ie. a bass without a pre-amp... Are you able to upload a photo of inside your basses control cavity?

    The irony of what you have written is delicious! 🤦‍♂️
  15. dyerseve
    Well if that's what you think fantastic looks like, I would hate to think what you consider ugly 🙃😜

    And replied. Realistic offers only please. Shipping prices are clearly detailed in the listing...

    Just finished repairing a serious crack on a Corvette $$ headstock. The crack was barely noticeable when I purchased it. In fact I only noticed it when removing the tuners to repair the scratches on the front of the headstock. When I removed the tuner though, I saw that there was a significant chunk of wood that was coming away from the headstock. That actually made the repair easier and more effective though as it allowed me to lift up the chunk and inject wood glue using a syringe - this allowed the glue to impregnate the area fully thus affecting a complete repair. After clamping the area and allowing 24hrs for the glue to cure, I sanded back the whole rear of the headstock to remove any glue residue and smooth out the area. After that it was time for melted Warwick wax to reapply the finish. Then a few coats of non-melted wax and the repair was complete.

    **now sold** Up for sale is a Warwick Corvette $$, 4 string Masterbuilt in Germany, 2007 Burgundy Red Oil finish, with hardcase. These basses have a well deserved reputation as absolute tone monsters - and for good reason! The twin MEC MM-style humbuckers provide an incredibly powerful yet controlled tone. The 3-way switches for each pickup(serial / parallel / single coil) , combined with the 2 band active pre amp, provide almost limitless tonal possibilities! The long upper horn and the lightweight of only 3.7kg / 8,16lb make this a very comfortable bass to gig! This bass has been used and as such there are signs of wear - most of which is only visible in certain light and at certain angles. If you see the last 3 photos - I have tried my best to highlight the marks on the body. These marks dont normally look this bad - as you will see in the rest of the photos. However I try to highlight any imperfections so you know exactly what you are buying. I will also note that the headstock has been repaired - although you cannot see it because the repair is to a very high standard - please see the last few photos for the pre/post repair state. There was a crack below the E-string tuner, it didnt go all the way through the headstock and now that it has been repaired, there is nothing to worry about. The front of the headstock was also restored to remove some light scratches. Otherwise the bass is very good condition and benefits from having the nut upgraded to a brass Just a Nut III. The bass has received a full setup including new strings. The frets have been polished, the fretboard has been cleaned and oiled. Everything functions perfectly including the truss rod, electronics and hardware. Serial number: e13161906 Article number: 1484380100BZASHOWW produced: 16.01.2007 Description: Corvette $$, 4-string Burgundy Red Oil finish Swamp Ash body Ovangkol neck Black hardware Made in Germany The bass is located in Emmelshausen, Germany. Shipping to mainland UK is 90€ Shipping to Ireland is 75€

    SOLD Up for sale is an awesome 4 string Tobias Growler. Made in America. The Tobias Growler features many high quality components including a Bartolini split coil MM style pickup, Bartolini 18V, 3 band EQ and Grover machineheads. It has a swamp ash body, maple and purpleheart neck, 24 fret wenge fretboard, The neck features dual truss rods which has allowed an incredibly low action. The bass is in very good condition, especially for a 23 year old instrument. There are a few light scratches and marks, as you would expect with a used instrument - I have shown these marks in the photos. The bass is very ergonomic thanks to its sculpted body. The long upper horn makes it balance very well and it is lightweight at only 4KG. Fitted with nearly new D'addario strings and has just received a full setup including the fretboard being oiled and the frets cleaned. The bass is supplied with the original hardshell case as well as a truss rod adjustment tool. The bass is located in Emmelshausen, Germany. Shipping to mainland UK is 90€ Shipping to Ireland is 75€

    White bass with gold hardware is just 😍 And that is before you take into account the inlays and those sexy tuners!
  22. dyerseve
    That is just sexy! GLWTS

    Oh wow! What an absolute bargain! I have an earlier 5 string Ken Taylor with a HS configuration and it's killer. Not unlike a Warwick really in terms of a clear distinct and versatile tone and one that cuts through the mix.
