  1. Brilliant short-scale bass, am only selling to fund a short-scale 5 string because I've loved playing this so much. Some very minor dings but overall in very good condition, frets are very good and have loads of life left. This is one of the earlier Korean-made examples (Unsung factory), not to be confused with the later Chinese-made versions. Great sound, great feel and really fun to play. I've strung this as a 'tenor' (or at least I imagine that's what it might be?) so it's tuned A-F, the highest string is plain/unwound. Haven't changed the nut or anything else so really easy to return to 'normal', but I will say that playing A-F is incredibly good fun and very useful for songwriting, for some reason it makes me much more creative. Pics here https://imgur.com/a/M3wAhcR Comes in a very basic hard case that's mainly for shipping purposes so don't be too disappointed that it's not very good 🙂 The Korean versions seem to (rightly) go for more than the Chinese ones, one just sold on eBay for £340 so I think £275 + shipping is fair for this? Would consider trades but only for 6 string 30 inch scale basses/baritones, short scale 5s or, long shot, a Status Graphite P or J neck...
  2. That is lovely, good job it's not a 5er otherwise I'd have a financial problem to deal with. GLWTS
  3. It sure is, if I didn't have a Status, a Sei and another Warwick I'd be keeping it for sure! Can do a video call if you'd like a more detailed look at it 🙂
  4. 3.7kg according to my bathroom scales and perfectly balanced. Also a lot flamier in the flesh than it appears in the photos
  5. Happy to listen to offers...I don't want to start using this given its brand new and I think someone will get more use out of it than I will as I already have plenty of fretted 5ers. I've also just ordered a new fretless so could do with some cash!
  6. Just bought some strings from Adam, very prompt postage and great comms throughout. 🙂
  7. Brand new (old stock) 2008 Warwick Corvette Special Edition. One of only 25 ever made and only available in the Spanish market - this one is no longer in Spain however, it's in the UK. 100% made in Germany, unplayed and with all the accessories and the lovely accessory folder that no other manufacturers seem to do these days. Incredible workmanship and very high quality woods; it has a tigerstripe ebony fretboard with Warwick's signature bell-material frets and AAA flame maple top on an American ash body. What appear to be marks in the photos are natural variations in the wood. RRP is €2699...was being sold in Spain at €2294. I took this as a trade for something I was selling but it's surplus to requirements as I don't really need another 5 string bass, amazing as this is. It is unplayed and brand new, even includes the swing tags. Price here:£1800 ono NOW £1550. Although I really don't need another bass I will never rule out an interesting trade, particularly custom shop Fenders but ideally I'm looking to raise some funds. Could possibly be tempted by 6 string electric or acoustic guitars as well. Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/zNQmWhX Spec details from the shop (DoctorBass) below: American ash body - AAA Flame maple top - Ovangkol neck - Tigerstripe ebony fingerboard - MEC Soapbar pickups - Black hardware Two way truss rod so you can tweak the neck yo suit your climate and/or playing style. The truss rod can be accessed easily. Also electronics are easily serviced. No tool is needed to access the battery which by the way is found inside an ultra clean electronics area. Just use your fingernails fo open the rear electronics plate. Conductive paint is used thoughout and just the right amount of wire and top notch parts. We love it. Warwick's trademark headstock is also ergonomic. All tuners are placed for the player to reach them easily. The adjustable nut (a classic feature from Warwick) is the final touch on a perfectly designed bass. Controls are Volume, Balance, Bass and Treble (stacked). Of course you also get Passive mode by pulling the Volume pot. Two German MEC Soapbar pickups deliver an amazingly deep anc crystal clear type of tone. The Low B string in this bass is simply perfect. Loud, clear and in perfect harmony with the other 4 strings. Comes with the original Premium Line RockBag gigbag plus all the tools you need to set up the bass as well as straplocks.
  8. Very very rare Alvarez AV2, handmade in Japan. Designed by two well-known and well-respected bass guitar builders in the USA, Michael Tobias (MTD) and Joe Veillette (Veillette-Citron and Joe Veillette Guitars) and handmade by Kazuo Yairi at the Yairi factory in Kani, Gifu-Japan. Not to be confused with the cheaper, Korean-made Avante models that have recently been produced. Scale length - 27.75" Nut width - 1.75" This guitar sounds absolutely incredible, really beautiful sounds - if you've never played a baritone acoustic, you are missing a treat! Guitar itself is in excellent condition apart from two chips on the top of the fretboard as per the pics, no idea how these happened and they're not noticeable when playing unless you curl your thumb round the top of the fretboard (my hands are far too small to do that). Comes with high quality TKL case. Has new Gotoh tuners fitted, I will include the original ones as well but I think one was broken. Lots of pics here: https://imgur.com/a/yzFiZjr £800 plus postage or can be collected post-lockdown from High Wycombe.
  9. Thanks! It certainly is a lot of fun to play and has a sound that very few people believe is coming out of it
  10. Bought MrTea's Warwick Fortress, absolutely perfect transaction all round, great comms, prompt postage, well packed and exactly as described. Highly recommended! Cheers

  12. Excellent condition Fender Ashbory fretless bass. Comes with amazing custom made upright stand that screws on to any microphone stand. Also comes with spare strings and talc plus original case and strap. https://imgur.com/a/cTvuncf Can be posted in UK for £20 or to Europe for £40. PRICE DROP to £250
  13. Just purchased James' Warwick Star Bass; couldn't recommend him highly enough, great comms, prompt postage and superb instrument. 🙂
  14. Very recent purchase which I think I overpaid for (£350) but is really great to play. However, I have spent far too much recently and can't really justify having this so benefit from my error in judgement! In good condition, some minor dings and surface marks but nothing major. Restrung with brand new D'Addario NYXLs (has had maybe an hour of play since) so I'm even further in the hole 🙂 Collection from high Wycombe or central London, other mutually convenient locations could be arranged. Could also post for £20 with UPS.
  15. Simply the best acoustic bass I've ever played, I just don't play it enough and have spent far too much money recently... In very good condition, comes with original hardcase which is also in very good condition. Strung E-C currently with Rotosound trubass, if you don't want these I'll happily keep them and restring it B-G with your choice of Roto/EB/similarly priced strings. Collection only from high Wycombe or central London, other mutually convenient locations could be arranged.
  16. For sale because I sadly just don't play it enough and have spent far too much money recently...I have pinched virtually all of the below text from the original seller (three, hope he doesn't mind but will reword if he does, it was just a very well worded listing and I didn't think I could better it). I have at least done my own pics but three's even nicer pics are still on the original listing here: A beautiful Marleaux Sopran bass in fantastic, almost mint condition. These are really quite rare and quite special. Tuned an octave up from standard, there's a beautiful piano like quality to each note (a characteristic that extends to chordal work). Can be used with an octave pedal to achieve standard bass tones (though works best with a high quality unit - Eventide etc.) Build quality is stunning - everything you'd expect of a custom hand-built from Marleaux. Some specs (taken from the Marleaux site): 3 piece maple neck - 4 string - separated with Wenge. 6 point bolt-on neck matching headstock rosewood fretboard with 24 frets, 57 cm (22.44") scale. Burl poplar top (gorgeous figuring) on two piece figured walnut body with ergonomic shaping passive single humbucker from Delano black from ETS/Schaller Strap locks Neck measurement Scale: 570 mm / 22.44" Nut: 40 mm / 1.57" 12. fret: 50 mm / 1.97" 24. fret: 55 mm / 2.17" Bridge: 54 mm (2.13") / 18 mm (0.71") each string Excellent condition with only very minor playwear - essentially (a) a couple of tiny indentations on the rear bottom of the bass near the side jack socket - it wasn't possible to photograph these - there really are small, and (b) some string-end scrapes on the headstock from re-stringing (there when I bought the bass). New strings are available via Thoman for around £20. Incredibly good fun, light and extremely easy to play. The original, dedicated gig bag (Warwick Rockbass with Marleaux branding) is included in the sale, as are the hex keys. I don't have the original paperwork/receipts etc. Take a look at http://marleaux-bass.com/marleaux-bass_consat_sopran.html for further details. Am selling for the same price I paid for it and it includes a spare set of Marleaux strings (I restrung it with a set as well) and three's original set of baritone strings. Can be collected from high Wycombe or central London, other mutually convenient locations could be arranged.
  17. Hi, yes it has maple inlay lines on fret positions on side of FB and dots between them. It weighs 3.9kg - bear in mind only the top is oak. HTH
