Evil Undead Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I just got this recently in but I've realised I need a car more than another bass It's a fantastic bass - slim wenge neck, wenge fretboard, bell brass frets. Has the lowest action of any bass I've ever played and just feels great. Has a beautiful tone as well, very woody and growly. It's not in the best cosmetic condition - has some dings and scratches here and there but I quite like the used look. There are also a couple of dings in the neck, but nothing that affects playability at all, at least not for me. But, viewing and testing is welcome. One more thing - unfortunately the serial number is all but gone. You can make out an E at the start at a 97 at the end, so it was made in May 97, but the rest is gone. I have no idea when or how that happened, but it was like it when I got it. For £280, this is a great German made Warwick, and a bit of a bargain and I'll include a gig bag. Collect from Gloucester Edit - I forgot to say there are recessed strap lock buttons in the bass and I have strap lock buttons that fit (dunlop) Edited March 5, 2012 by Evil Undead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've been looking at this on ebay - would you ship it if I arranged for a courier to pick it up from you? Cheers, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You just won't find another bass for this or double this price that will match it, the wenge nacks are just fantastic. Idea of replacing this with a Fender is criminal! bump for an awesome instrument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftyhook Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That's a mad price!!!!!!! I just bought Corvette from BC and it's a great piece of musical art. This is £100 cheaper than mine (no complaints about the my price whatsoever, worth every penny) Come on people, get with the Warwick train at a very very low price!!!!!!

leftyhook Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 £280 is criminal! dont want to cast a dark cloud on anyone getting an absolute steal, but for goodness sake dont drop any lower! Great sounding bass that is in danger of dropping to the price of a much lower standard bass. Maybe you could offer instalments option, releasing the bass when the funds are complete? I almost did that with my recent Corvette purchase (all agreed and set up with seller) until I came up with the total at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megallica Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 £280 for a German Corvette - I paid more for my old Corvette and the seller had drilled a new hole so he could move the volume control!
