    Not one that I have ever seen before... and I've seen lots! Could it be home/custom made?

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1367838681' post='2069992'] The only access point to the truss rod I can see on mine is the one in the headstock. It has a though neck, so it's not like you take the neck off and access it that way. So I'd be interested to know how you get to it. [/quote] The early Warwicks had a truss rod that could be removed by slackening/straightening the truss rod/neck and then inverting the bass or pulling the rod with a suitable tool, the rod slid out and could be reversed/replaced.

    Damn! Been looking for a higher powered 1U amp and this was on my list!

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1367755900' post='2069060'] So is it worth £800? Seems a decent price for one of these? [/quote] TBH the value is (as always) what someone will pay... I'd not give £800 for it but I would for a nice early one. I think saying that it is worth £600 more after a set-up is ludicrous and as has been pointed out if he is flagging up that it needs setting up, I'd want to know why it isn't done? Truss rod might be a concern (not as common as folks think) and it'll not have the easy remove truss rod but if it isn't an easy fix (again 'why' hasn't he done it) to set it up, you could be looking at a pig of a bass to resell... unless you moved it on and told the next potential owner it just needed a set-up!

    Have this set-up and it'll be worth £600 more... so get it done you lazy bar-steward and see if you are right!

    Just found your thread.

    [quote name='Stag' timestamp='1367527799' post='2066614'] Wish I was closer! Doh... someone should pick this up... nearly half the price of a new one, and without the potential wait! [/quote] Cheers. If there is no further interest in this bass then I'm going to put it into a local music shop (who will add their bit on top).
  16. warwickhunt
    Just bought one of these and a nice solid, sturdy bit of kit.
  17. warwickhunt
    So the fact that this bass HAS a forearm contour gives you gip and a 4003 which is slab fronted doesn't give you grief... the very opposite to my experience of Ric's!
  18. warwickhunt
    You don't need/want a Ric 4003 do you?
  19. warwickhunt
    In light of the other Ric's available... reduced to £1000

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1367175260' post='2062208'] It doesn't look refinned to me John, just paint settling - my recently departed US made Jazz was pretty much like this. I'm not an expert on Ricks, but both that I've had, had non conventional finishes. I don't know if it's part of what makes up the UV cured paint on the newer ones but on dark finishes they sempt to have a haze to the gloss - subtle but definitely present. [/quote] That's the odd thing, I've had conflicting messages from folks re. the finish on Rics including a local Ric owner who has an similar aged bass that has identical finishing (including some of his binding coming away ) and he has had his from new also. I just want to be safe/honest and if someone strips the bass and finds that it was maple/fireglo or whatever, then I haven't lead them up the garden path. Still cheap enough I think that someone will either get a gigging Ric just as it is or it'll be cheap enough to have it refinished.

    Interesting. If I thought that the bass needed a refinish, I'd suggest it but TBH the bass will polish/buff up nicely, it's a bit flat/lacklustre where the original owner rested his thumb over the neck pup position and upper horn but otherwise is in good nick. I should mention that the biggest conundrum is that the bass has only had one previous owner and he is a friend and assures me that he hasn't refinished the bass and that the bass was a deeper/flatter/glossier black when he got it but the finish has settled like this over the years.
