Sorry, I forgot that. Here are some quick tasters, I'll try to take some better pics tomorrow when the light is better. I'll also give my comments on it so far, and I'll explain why this is a 4 string and I'm selling a 5 string (it's complicated). Seems I should post it in the Bass Guitars forum anyway.

Playing fretless is probably not as difficult as you think. You'll never be a fretless player unless you give it a try - if it doesn't work out you should get your money back on this without much problem. Put some nice flats on it though, unless you don't mind putting up with the wear on the fingerboard, and your fingers.

Yes I'm now the proud possessor. I had to go a long way north of Watford to get it (luckily before the lockdown), but the trip was well worthwhile. Loving every minute of incarceration now.

No problem. In common with all Warwick basses (and all other sensible ones), the dots are on the fret positions. I know this is important as I've had the same problem myself in the past - can't imagine why anyone would want the dots in-between the frets on a fretless bass??

Sorry, I forgot that. Now posted. It's difficult to photograph this bass, because of the high gloss finish all you get is reflections of me holding the camera (phone).IMG_3556.HEIC

Only bought this a few weeks ago, then found an MB2. Condition is as new in original packing as sent from Germany. Plays well, it has the original strings supplied but deserves some better ones.

Now going on Fleabay, probably will be sold by this time next week. I'd rather sell to Basschatter so if you're hovering, make me a sensible offer.

OK, thanks. The Lines are a dealbreaker for me I’m afraid, I just find them too confusing as I’m used to just a few dots (or nothing on the upright). Looks a nice bass, I’m sure someone will love it.

Are there markings on the side? Dots? lines? on fret positions or in between? Any idea how much it weighs? (Oak is heavy stuff) Thanks

Thanks for the heads-up Frank. It looks like a lovely bass - shame about the fingerboard, but that could be sorted. Unfortunately the deal killer for me is the side markings. I had an Ibanez with this confusing array of lines & dots on the side and couldn’t get on with it. I like just a few strategically placed dots......or nothing.
