Bump

Made in 2007 with Schaller hardwear... seems like it was a custom order and looks as if it was the only bass he has made! This guy appears to specialise in convincing copies of PRS, Taylor, gibson etc. Seem like he uses quailty parts from EMG to Floyd Rose etc on his other builds and the woods seem pretty high quality... if everything shapes up then its probably a very fine bass!

Bump for an amazingly awesome bass! Close offers considered.

Haha, maybe... Surely theres someone out there that wants to trade this for a 5er and a little cash? Or a straight up sale??? Offers??

He's based in Essex, Chelmsford way... I can give you the EXACT address if you want to steal it?

Dammit I wanted this so bad! Sucks balls the third party bailed out...

Back up for sale or trade guys! Someone must want this brutal beast! Cash or trade for a decent 5 string. Let me know!

BUMP AGAIN!!! Will trade for a high end 5 string bass... make me an offer...

No love for a 1979 ibanez Roadster? It's like owning a vintage stingray but for under £250! BUMP!

Any interest in a trade with the 4 string version of this?

Wow... looks awesome! Has a pedulla kinda vibe going on but for 1/5 the price! Wish I saw this earlier...

Awesome...

I've played this little beast before, a long while ago. Lets just say I'd rather use my shoe to play bass with... ok ok, its actually a nice bass! And £400 is cheap.

The 1st Warwick Vampyre at that! Soon you will be in possession of the 1st Vampyre bass ever made...

You have you have! Trade organised...

I believe this is on it's way to me soon! Gotta love them three way trades.

Cheers Alex man, I hope to get this back again at some point if it sells! £250 delivered in the UK... not bad for a 1979 Stringray toned beast. Anyone?

Forgot to mention... any trades must involve at least £450 cash to me. Am quite open to ideal that involve this! Let me know.

Thanks for the comments... It is a monster (literally) of a bass! £1500 is a good price for this badass, she is the first of her kind! Highend 6 string trades only. (MAYBE a 5 string... maybe.)

More pictures on request! I have apparently reached my upload quota... :S

Hi guys, I did have this advertised the other day at a slightly lower price... but that was before I had all the information. I had exchanged a few emails with Hans P. Wilfer (president of Warwick) and I have been told by him that this was the 1st Warwick Vampyre to be built... it has a serial number of 2003/001. He mentioned that I should list the bass between £2000 and £3000 for sale. (I can provide all the emails to any interested parties to confirm this, and yes, I have HPW permission to share these!) It is signed by Hans P. Wilfer on the reverse of the headstock and bears the serial number 2003/001 This is a monster of a bass and sounds incredible, it is in excellent condition and has very little signs of wear what so ever, pretty amazing for a bass that was the absolute first of its kind. This is a exert from one of the emails Hans sent me... "Dear Russ, [color=#000000]- Vampyre[/color] [color=#000000] yes it is the Number 1 and you can say that, that I confirmed this.. specs are the same as today[/color] [color=#000000] with a Quilted Top and yours is an 5 AAAAA Quilted Maple top.. absolut stunning and the price for[/color] [color=#000000] this Bass new today will be Euro 6.247,00 so you can ask even 2.500 to 3.000 for your Vampyre..[/color] [color=#000000] it is the number 1..."[/color] [color=#000000]I can provide all the other emails if you want as well...[/color] [color=#000000]This bass is savage in looks and tone, its is a piece of Warwick history, and looks STUNNING![/color] [color=#000000]I am based in Wickford, Essex, and I am on 07912222127. You are welcome to try it out, and look her over if you want to! I can ship anywhere within reason at your cost. (I can arrange it all though!)[/color] [color=#000000]I may accept trades in the form of 6 string fretted basses, but I am mainly after cash.[/color] £1500 is the price! That £3000 less than a new one, and this has the history of being the first of its kind! [color=#000000]Let me know guys![/color] [color=#000000]Russ.[/color]

PRICE DROP £1800 OVNO, this is a £400 price drop. I REALLY need to sell this or trade it for things I can shift easily. trade value is £2000, Cash sale is £1800. Someones gotta want this? It's AMAZING. I just NEED some cash soon... fingers crossed.

the serial number does tell you the date, I believe its april 1979. This pictures do make it look shiny! but there are a few scratches and dings as you'd expect for a 34 year old beast.
