  1. Ho hum, that's a first. 3 days & not a single trade offer. I'll leave it up for a few more days then may well have a chat with John about passive stack knobs & serial/parallel loom. I've been rehearsing the sets with it the last couple of nights & it's a fine bass. Just I look like a tit with it round my neck 😚
  2. Best get my Dolphin sold then 😆
  3. Hiya Mark. That serial number suggest 2008, think it was still Korean made then (though that might have been '06). Anyway, in those days they had the subtitle Bob Glaub Precision, FABULOUS bass & a great price mate.
  4. Cheers John. Cheers. Those that have them generally speak highly of them. Thanks but I'm not going to throw any more money at it whilst I'm looking to move it on.
  5. Cheers Mark, I'm fairly sure John still has his.
  6. Fantastic basses these, 'av a bump!
  7. Made in Japan for Warwick by MMI (Moridaira Musical Instruments) Morris in 1991. Quite an uncommon bass. Bolt neck, unlike the much more expensive German set neck & neck through versions. Warwick aficionados are generally not a fan of this bass, some considering them not a true Warwick. Active/passive vol (push/pull), pick up pan, bass/treble boost/cut. This bass is cosmetically battered, with some paintwork filled in, especially along the bottom edges. A lot of dents & dinks, It's been gigged a lot. Can't see that from a few feet away. A previous owner (I think there's only been three & one of them twice for a good number of years) has put a Pro 1 truss rod cover on. It's not a Pro 1 (you'd be looking at well over another grand!) Plays beautifully, surprisingly well balanced, great rock bass. Quite light at 8lb 10oz. Comes with slightly battered hard case, Warwick bits pack, leather strap & strap locks. TRADES. Sandberg with a Precision style pickup Fender Player Series Precision US Standard Precision. CASH either way, but please remember, Player Series actually sell used at around £450. Apologies for photos, raining. Again. Feedback linked at bottom of post. Meet half way or collection, sorry don't have a box to courier. Cheers, Karl.
  8. James was simply a delight to deal with, they don't come any better. Fully recommended. Thanks James & enjoy the bass. all the best, Karl.
  9. Very nice Mike, GLWTS
  10. LOVIN' that!❤️
  11. Price includes 2nd class Royal Mail, UK Unopened, part number SP W 30245 111 TRH 45mm, like one of these https://www.thebassplace.com/product/warwick-just-a-nut-iii-5-string-bass-45mm-sp-w-30245-iii-trh-2/
  12. Class bass Ash, love it. GLWTS fella.
  13. I got a 2020 CV 50's in Sunburst. Looked stunning but the truss rod nut seemed to be made of cheese. It was dreadful. Guitar tech tried to set it up, nut stripped & lacquer came off the nut access hole. Since found out at least 2 others had this issue. My 2008 LPB Chinese made 50's CV is superb.
  14. Absolute joy to deal with, quick, decisive, likeable guy. Thanks for everything Johann, all the best.
  15. 😆 It's the wrong Candy Gromit. Long time no see Martin, guess you've been a bit busy this year. Thanks for helping folk & keep safe mate.
  16. Cheers Mark, hope you guys are ok. See you on the other side of this plague fella.
  17. Cheers Paul Yeah, lots of stuff like this, being a knock on from lockdowns. Anticipate the joy 😄 Thanks Simon, that's really kind of you , cheers.
  18. Un-opened pack, never got to use them. £13 includes second class postage, mainland UK. Cheers, Karl.
  19. Cheers Lloyd, hope all is well fella. Cheers Brian, they are a bit good. Hope your mod is as splendid as mine. 🙂
  20. If folk can put Fender Japan basses at £1k+ & Fender Mexico at £800+................... I need to raise some cash, however not yet desperate. With slowly increasingly arthritic fingers, I doubt I'll play a P size neck live again, so this is an expensive home toy. Original owner bought it for £1099 in Dec 2016. I'm the second owner. This is the version with the fabulous Custom Shop pick up & it's the second best P I've ever played. The last model American Standard before changing to American Pro. As new as far as I can see, weight is just on 9lb. Comes with black 'plate, original tortie 'plate included. Recent set up & strings. PART TRADES only 2 really considered; Mexican player series + £550 to me YAMAHA BB714BS (either colour) + £500 to me. I will meet halfway (as I have done with recent deals with folk in Minehead & Colchester). Sorry, I don't have a box to courier. IF BUYER WANTS IT HOLDING FOR A WEEK OR TWO, happy to take a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of £50. As might be seen by the advert, bit reluctant on more than one level 🙂 Apologies for the awful photos, it really is unmarked as far as I can see.
  21. Crazy low price for one of these fabulous basses. GLWTS
  22. John Torres was a legendary neck maker with known work certainly in the 70's & 80's
  23. My Elite Jazz is the best I've ever played. This is helped by; Ki0gon totally passive loom, with series/parallel switch & stack knobs ala '60 Jazz. This mod made a superbly playable jazz an immense sounding one.
