Evil Undead Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) [size=6][color=#ff0000][u]Firstly - Warwick Corvette $$ in Nirvana black.[/u][/color][/size] I know, I know. I said I'd never sell or trade this bass again - but for all of my silly sentimental attachments, I don't know if it's "the one" for me. That said, it really is a great bass. Looks awesome, very versatile tones, feels and plays great. As I'm sure anyone who is reading this knows, it's a beast. Made in Germany in 2008. I've owned it since April 2010, apart from the month when it lived with Flex! But we haven't been jelling for a while, and it's time I stopped being so dumb and searched for something that would suit me more. There are some very minor cosmetic blemishes but nothing to write home about. I can send more pictures. The electronics are in good working order. Only minor issue is that the truss rod doesn't seem to want to move - I was going to get it looked at before I moved it on, but as there's the perfect amount of relief in the neck and it doesn't seem to budge, I decided not to. It plays beautifully, tiny amount of relief, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?! It's right to mention it though. EDIT - out of interest I asked a local luthier what would be required to sort that out if it needed in in the future - he said it's just a matter of loosening the rod, clamping the neck for a week and tightening it back up. £30 he said. But, as I mentioned, the bass plays fantastically. Come try it out and see Ash body, ovangkol neck and wenge fretboard. Black hardware, bell brass frets. £[s]500[/s] [s] £450[/s] SOLD Only trade considered is a PX For an active DI [size=6][color=#ff0000][u]Second - Ibanez Premium SR1300[/u][/color][/size] I just bought this last week as I've been after a lighter bass. But, after playing the Warwick I'm having trouble getting used to the very slim neck! I'd like £500 (paid £550 last week) and trade would be for a Precision bass - as above, maple neck, around 8.5lbs or under.

I can meet at train stations within a couple of hundred miles of here as long as my train fare is paid in advance (no transport at the moment). Testing is very welcome, just drop me a message. Again, for sale, or PX for an active DI Edited May 23, 2012 by Evil Undead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I genuinely don't know! I think I'm either just too scared to break them or I'm an epic weakling! Probably a bit of both. The neck hasn't moved on this bass since I bought it in 2010 though.

Kriss Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi mate would a fender aerodyne be of interest at all. It's less than six months old and hasn't been gigged. I appreciate it's not a five string but is a great bass. I had a double buck a few years ago and stupidly traded it in and I've been sad ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megallica Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I used to own one of these and was very happy with the sounds and playability of the bass If you're looking for a lightweight five string you should maybe consider a Schecter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_stones Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Really great basses, tonnes of tone and (at least for me) very, very playable; that Ovangkol neck is sublime! If I had any money I'd definitely consider getting one of these again. Bump for a nice bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great jazz nut width too. Just a bit too chunky front to back for me and my tiny woman hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjimmy76 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi, I'm looking for a warwick 4 string but wont have any cash for another 10 days, really wanted a thumb bo, but those babys aren't cheap are they. I really just want a bass for slapping. atm I have a lovely jazz aerodyne strung with light gauge strings (30-90) which is great for a bit of slap (Mark King Mr Pink/love games etc..), but I know warwicks are much better for a bit of slapitty slap!
