Scotticus Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Anybody interested in acquiring a Warwick $$ 5er? It's the nirvana black finish, in good shape. It would come to you freshly setup, and I've still got the original tags, manual, wax, truss rod tool and rather snazzy Warwick folder thingy to keep it all in too. The pics give you a pretty good idea of the condition. Note the dink on the lower stubby horn, you'd have to already know it was there to see it when the bass is being played on stage. There is also a small patch on the back of the body where the grain of the wood can be felt more clearly (presumably buckle rash). It hasn't actually damaged the finish, so wouldn't show up on the camera - I tried. [b]Trade considerations:[/b] Only interested in 5 strings 35" scale minimum Tend to be drawn to darker finishes, love grainy woods too Would happily go for another Warwick (especially a Streamer $$) Cash on top to make a fair deal considered (both ways are possible). Since people have been asking, I'd part with it for £800 (UK shipping included). Collection/demoing is welcome if you can get to South West London, and obviously if you were picking it up in person I'd deduct a bit from the price. I'm going into it with a very open mind. Drop me a PM with whatever you've got, be it a trade or an offer, and we'll take it from there.

Scotticus Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bassdude BE - keep an eye on the thread. There'll be pics here in the next 24 hours. Weirdly, my $$ post has just landed right on top of another $$ trade in the same finish. Ooh err. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've talked myself into trading because I'm spending way more time down low nowadays so could probably do with 35" scale, and there are plans afoot for my band to make a video next month so it's probably time to do something about the fact that Corvettes don't push the gearporn button for me quite as often as Streamers do.

You should have a look at fanned frets if you're that serious about scale length! My $$ managed tuning down three semitones just fine, (low Ab).

I buy pretty much everything online to avoid going into shops that stock them, because I know I'll leave with one. To answer the inevitable question, I'm holding off partly due to a lack of funds, and partly because I'm still battling some bad guitar player habbits and techniques - don't want to throw fanned frets into the mix until I feel like I've cleaned my act up.

TIAN Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi, Is there any abrasion or any signs of wear on the bass? Thanks Tian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not mint condition (it's been a working bass for a couple of years), but it hasn't had a tough life if that makes sense. Hope that helps, shout if you want to know anything else.
