[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1323022' date='Aug 1 2011, 01:06 PM']You should keep this and try and find a Warwick enthusiast. £1000 silly price to let that go for.[/quote]

Tell me about it, even on the Warwick forum where this is now listed, little to nothing is moving for over the £1k threshold. I've rounded it up on there to 1200euros, should generate some interest I hope (and the equivalent on TalkBass).

The condition let's the price down a bit, and I think the [i]several[/i] hundred I have knocked off the price to reflect this is definitely more than fair. As much as I would like to sell this for more it just wasn't generating the interest at £1100 + case + shipping, and it needs to go so I can fund buying another one, if only I could win Euromillions tomorrow night.

[dc2009]

evening bumpage - I appreciate there is now direct competition for this bass on this very thread section. For anyone who might be choosing between them, I would argue for not much more outlay you get a unique bass rather than an off the shelf model, which is nicer in so many ways, as well as a brand new case and fully insured shipping thrown into the bargain.

and now on Warwick's official forum here: [url="http://forum.warwick.de/24-bass-stuff/14928-fs-warwick-corvette-custom-shop-5-ocean-blue-flame-top-made-germany.html"]http://forum.warwick.de/24-bass-stuff/1492...de-germany.html[/url]

If I had a spare £1000 I would buy this. Its worth so much more.

I hate the economy. On the upside the slow sake of 1k+ basses means I'm keeping my Big Al

Thank you, PB, if you fancy getting a loan, or digging deep into an overdraft, let me know

[dc2009]

You've seen what guys have independently said above about this bass and the price I'm asking. I literally can't go any lower, but remember this £1000 includes fully insured shipping and a brand new hardfoam case, what more could you possibly want?

You are of course welcome to come and try it if you are interested - I'm in West Brompton in South West/Central London

[dc2009]

I'm sure you guys are as sick of reading bumps as I am of bumping it. You've got guys saying this is an absolute steal, which it is. So please, dig deep, find that spare 1k down the back of your sofa (read as: overdraft) and help me out. I'm not taking offers on this because the price is sillily low enough as it is. I want to sell so I can buy the same bass with alternate wood selection, that is all. I have a private seller holding the other bass for me and don't want to mess him around so get in now and get yourself a great bass from me!

Careful with ebay, have you used a calculator to work out roughly the fees? They are stupid now.

Thanks for the warning, I have looked, it'll be a £40 hit (the max final value fee they can impose on this type of listing). I've also mentioned on the listing that if a recognised member buys it from me on here or talkbass i'd gladly make a donation of £20 to the site rather than pay evilbay.

You have to go through Paypal now as well don't you? So that would bump the fees up again?

bugger, I had forgotten

Anyway, quick bump, I think that new french guy, analogrowl might be keen, this seems right up his alley anyhow...

[dc2009]

In all seriousness, joe_bass or Prime_BASS, do either of you want to scrape together the wonga for it?

It didn't sell on eBay which I'm sort of glad about what with the fees etc.

[joe_bass]

I've not been able to get on with the chunkier necks on the newer Warwicks for a few years now due to wrist problems, it's the reason I got rid of my 03 thumb & eventually got a 91. Plus I'm having to get rid of gear at the mo due to cash problems.

Tbh dude you've got a bass you love, which is an awesome piece of kit & some thing a bit special. Therefore though you really want some thing else I think you'd be mad to get rid of this at a rock bottom price.

[Evil Undead]

I have to agree. This is a beautiful bass and it's going for too cheap. If it were me, I'd keep this one. In my humble honest opinion...

I do love it and it is cheap at the price, and I appreciate the kind words a lot guys, it's just time for me and this one. I've had it 5 years and and fancy a slight change for the next 5. The one I'm planning to buy with the proceeds is a 5 string Corvette $$ Special Edition, the thing will feel very much the same but it has a different finish, and different wood selection, just a nice variation for the next 5 years. It is 1 of only 4 made so is essentially as rare as this one off custom, and unfortunately unless I win Euromillions this eve I cannot afford both.

you're telling me, no interest?

[dc2009]

interest from america, should be a sale, but would rather sell on here if anyone wants it

[dc2009]

now got a bloke from argentina and two from the states keen on this, would definitely rather sell it in the UK and to a BCer, any takers?

[dc2009]

bumpage, probably not going to be around much longer

[dc2009]

Seen a Warwick SSII 5er up on here getting a lot of interest - this is a lot more bass for your money, and IMO worth a whole lot more too.

[joe_bass]

Whats going on with the foreign interest mate?

[dc2009]

Had one bloke offered me a trade for his thing, which was up for sale. I said no but he could of course come back if his sold (it was a bit obscure but up for the same price).
Had some other american who was actively looking for an ocean blue 5er corvette $$, seemed very interested etc etc but not had a reply in a week so not sure what's going on there.

The other guy is Argentinian, who is working in Austria in Sept/Oct. He has suggested coming to London for it and I have said I'm happy to do that or post or go to Austria if the flights are cheap enough, but would rather sell it to a BCer (and ideally within the UK) if I can. Be nice to keep it here, and also, I may well be interested in buying it back in a few years time!

This really chimes in with my point the other day lol.

Yup

Played it at a gig last night, these basses are so great. We had a drummer crisis so decided to do the set acoustic last minute - no problem, just whacked both pickups into single coil, rolled off the treble and I had myself a Jazz bass.

[Evil Undead]

Although I get confused with the electronics combinations (and mainly use the same one all the time) I also used mine for a gig last night, and it's a fantastic bass.

Someone snap this up, it's a bargain!
