Home use only . How that rubber foot walked , I don’t know . You may put Velcro on it anyway . 😬?I may find it on computer desk or wherever.Perfect condition otherwise. Complete with Box / manual / original power supply Great unit , but as I have a couple of synths , I don’t really use it much . May regret it , but who knows ? may keep it . postage is next day Royal Mail special delivery before 1pm to uk address , which is included in the price . If you have the desktop Boss RC202 Looper , maybe we could trade with cash your way . Cheers

Well, this is my first ‘proper’ Bass purchased by myself way back in 1989 from Macaris in Denmark Street. It has been my go to bass over 90% of gigs.and never let me down . Regarding the modifications : This Bass is now PASSIVE and NO LONGER NEEDS BATTERY. The volume and tone buttons don't do anything and step ( clicks when adjusting volume , bass and treble ) are no longer there . Just plug'n'play . I got Graham Noden of Denmark Street at the time to remove the active circuitry., due to radio interference and crackles etc. The bass still sounds very powerful , and not too bright sounding . Ideal for all band situations . I even recorded an ep in one of my rock covers bands should you wish to hear it. 🙀. Oh , and the Bass has a switch craft jack replacing the fragile one of old .Again done by Graham Noden. Having said all that , the Bass still sounds amazing , still teangy with new strings and still very weighty in sound . Speaking of weight , it weighs around 4kg/ 9lbs ..about the same as a typical fender . This is probably down to the rich American walnut body . The mods here have made things easier and more robust imho, and no more batteries to worry about .is surely a good thing . The bass is in very good condition for its age imho. A few marks etc as one would expect . A quality bass ,with a rich American walnut body . It comes with a gig bag which is usable just . Price not set in stone, but they don't seem to be around much these days . I still have original Washburn strap and strap locks somewhere. I have never shipped a bass. I could if you’re serious, purchase a couple of Bass Guitar Boxes from the Amazon and you could arrange for your own courier , but I'd rather not . Uk only

Purchased this on a whim a few years ago with the thought that maybe I'll have another stab at the cover band malarkey again . That did not happen , and it has been sitting at home gathering dust . It comes with a nice fender strap which just clicks in and out by the push of a button . The bass is fitted with EMG pickups and the originals are included also . It also comes with a tin of Warwick surface finisher which smells lovely . The padded Novini GigBag is also included. Not sure about the pricing of this , but im sure there are a few Warwick afficinados who know the score . Price not set in stone ...or wood ! I may not sell at all , as the light feel , contoured body and fantastically fast neck may make me just keep it . it is used ,and for the age the condition is very good imho . However , I think it needs a setup ! Strings ( which still have a lot of life in them yet ) ,were moved to my Jack Daniels bass ..and back again !🤦. This does have the just-a-nut and haven't tried using that yet .I've never posted a bass ,and have no packing equipment . However, if someone is serious then, I could purchase a couple of Bass Guitar Boxes from the Amazon and then you could arrange for courier of your choice to collect.At your cost etc . UK only please.

I didn't realise Ilok raised so many issues , until after I purchased . I saw many unhappy posts on you tube about it .sorry to hear of your frustrations . The other annoying thing , is that they were released on iPad a week or so after I purchased the desktop versions . If I see anyone using the iPad versions using a bass plugged direct into then ( and them sounding good ) , I may invest in ome of them The positive of the hassle I've had , Iis that I'm put off of buying a pre amp and plugging the bass into the grandmother 😬 or minitaur Too much time faffing around ..

Some of you may have seen the Moogerfooger plug-ins in desktop form . Price reductions from time to time ( or the wrong time in my case) so, I purchased all of them (except the ring modulator which is not my cup of tea.) last week . I got them from a third party website , which meant I had to register for a free ilok acct They are registered on the moog website along with my moog hardware . I found everything straightforward enough , but occasionally the software cannot be opened in Reason 12 until I visit ilok . As for GarageBand -computer says NO, and cannot open files on there . . so, I got everything going on in Reason 12 ,and I find that they sound great if you use the various drum machines and other plugins etc the effects sound great . They have presets for people like myself who prefer hardware and pliug'n'play . I found though that having a direct signal from my bass to the pedals to be very underwhelming . Way too laborious , and off-puttting . Doing a very brief recording of my bass , the effects sound great - but not if I use them as foot pedals . With Moog there's always a lot more to them . I won't purchase the iPad versions due to the above ramblings . on a more positive note , I'm finally understanding more about midi and connecting all the hardware etc . 😺 would be good to hear anyone else's experience ...

Just thought I'd give an update of the new setup of my bass .. I got a call from one of the other technicians on weds. He advised me my bass was ready to collect. I picked up on Thursday . Different Tech, but it was him who worked on my bass. Very nice chap . He explained a lot , and we chatted . I now have fretless bass tuned down to B-E-A-D and it's great . Feels easy and comfy to play . I had sellers remorse after selling my Schecter Stiletto elite 5 many moons ago. I bought that on my first visit to soundcontrol being a bit extravagant at the time . Tbh, I didn't feel comfortable playing a 5 string in a live situation except rehearsals . I'm liking the fact that seeing as I'm not in a band situation anymore , I have ample time to explore both tunings I currently have . Not bothered about the half fretted idea. That's in the past . This bass feels great , it has to be said . Thanks for all of your input
-
Wow! That tuning sounds wacky . Sounds very ..low and floppy 🤤. Thankfully I don't do the band thing anymore , so I can just mess around as and when . I went for the standard downtime of B-E-A-D as. Used to have a 5 string . I never had time to feel confident using it in a live situation due to being to energetic to the crowd etc. I also have ...a bass whammy 🤤
-
Thanks @Hellzero Yes , that does sound like a good price now ( it could have been more ) , as you and @Stub Mandrel have pointed out what goes into such a project. Having my other fretless ( vester custom shop Warwick thumb copy) tuned in standard E-A-D-G it means I have a use for both fretless basses now ,and wiill just use the fretted and fretless basses as a they are intended to be used. Cheers
-
Thanks for that @Stub Mandrel yes , you have given me an excellent explanation which makes sense . Not a big deal in the scheme of things What did cross my mind on occasion, was if I got a deferred bass neck and put a few frets on that . That is something that I’m no longer thinking of . I’m not a fan of the almost recent Ibanez idea of their take on a hybrid neck so to speak . Maybe in the future they may do something like what I was thinking of. Anyway, it was a passing fad I guess as I tend to use synths more these days . I just had a couple of mad days and it’ll probably be forgotten and basses will gather dust again .) cheers

Delurkimg to give my experience today with guitar tech .Also to ask your thoughts . Not sure if guitar techs are mainly miserable bar stewards , but I handed over my headless fretless over to a tech today who grunted a lot and didn't want to converse at all . It could be me being too bouncy and friendly while he was servicing a guitar and he had to see a customer l didn't interrupt him and waited patiently to be seen to. Anyway putting that to one side, I have a nice bass which was made by a great Basschaer , but being similar to a kubicki the tuning pegs were getting stiff and I thought it would be best to get it set up . The setup I fancied was B-E-A-D . Should be a straightforward job for a tech . As I have a few basses and 2 fretless basses , I thought of getting 7 frets on the lower notes of the neck. Tech said " no ! It would need x y z done etc. I can possibky send it off to somebody but you're talking around £350." we both agreed that it was extortionate for what it was, so I just went for a basic reset.. I supplied him with DR strings for Down Tuning . He did ask me what kind of set up. Tbh , I didn't understand what he meant. on the iquotation it says "silver guitar service Bass" £40 . No problem with that . I have seen various topics / videos of half fretted basses . I was under the impression that You could get a bass fretted from fretless . Maybe a half fret board is more tricky . If I was living / working in London like I did in my previous life , I'd be in Denmark street to see graham Noden or similar. Anyway, is what I wanted too much cost and hassle ?
