About time this sold and I must say Im relieved because Im trying to save money not spend it!

I could be interested in this btw! eagerly await pics

Could this be where the trend in warwicks change and they *shock horror* become popular again?!?!?!?!?!!

It also has a Piezo element, but the B-string isn't responding well. A luthier said it's probably a loose wire.


It comes with a hardshell case and the original pickguard.

I am based in the Netherlands, so postage will be around 30 pounds.[/quote]

how much is the bass?

My streamer lx did the exact same thing, and it was exactly the same colour as this one, pieces of laquer just start to flake off, most strange, either way, this would be good to completely strip down and refin, would come up looking as good as new!

One of the best looking jazz basses I have seen, love that grain on the back

Ive heard the Low string on a dark lord and it to me it just sounds like flappy low noise with no real clarity in the notes, but thats just me

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='499049' date='May 27 2009, 05:14 PM']Ditto. I only just moved onto my 2nd tin a couple of years ago.

I'm often amazed when I hear of folks going through a tin a year... it smells alright but I hope they aren't eating it! [/quote]

Haha, my first warwick came with a tin with about two thirds of wax used up already,

and for the record, its nice on toast...

Hello all,

right, for aslong as Ive played warwicks, Ive always used the official warwick wax to clean and look after my instruments, now, Ive just run out, and I was doing my shopping today in my local morrisons and next to the furniture polish was a tin of bee's wax for 2 quid, much cheaper than the warwick wax, and it says on the tin looks after and nourishes all wood types yadda yadda yadda.... so I bought it. I got it home and opened the lid, it smells nice, its alot softer than warwick wax, its more like a balm with a mousse like texture, so I put it in the fridge to firm it up a little, anyways what I want to know before I use it is do you guys think it would be an ok alternative to warwick wax? The instructions on the tin tell me to apply it in exactly the same way as the warwick stuff so I thought it would be fine, anyone else use regular old bee's wax?

I never get bored of looking at that warmoth, beautiful bass

Ive gassed after this for as long as I can remember!

[quote name='rjb' post='496937' date='May 24 2009, 11:42 PM']Some ding pics, as requested by Kevbass. It's been well used, but looked after!

There are few dings on the back and underside edge. None breaks the finish.[/quote]

I'll take it, Pm'd

PM'd mate

That is really nice

I have no time to explain

I dont know much about Alembic but surely this has to be cheap? He says theres a hairline crack in the neck but it looks like the nut to me,
