warwickhunt Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Your chance to own a piece of Warwick history; Warwick have one of these on the wall of their offices, so it must be good. This is the original '91 NT model not the 2001 BO. As I further revise what I want and need I've established I probably don't need 2 of these I have a regular gigging Streamer Corvette (affectionately known as the Infinette by Warwick aficionados) and I have this one... It is pretty much unmarked and has rarely even been played in the house. This actual bass is the bass reviewed in the UK bass guitar magazine 'Bassist' (I will supply the magazine with the bass). I purchased it from The Bass Gallery London. It can be verified by the Birds Eye Maple patternation and the striation of the colouring of the Atimoe Mahogany on the back. I got this about 6mths after I got my first one because I felt I 'had' to get a back-up in case my first one ever died! Well 17 years on and my original one is still going strong A well used example was listed on eBay for 2500 euro (£2005) recently, though I admit it didn't sell. I want 2400 euro or £1925 for my bass. If this is considered expensive by some, consider what a new Infinity bass will cost you and then factor in the rarity factor of this model. I'm not open to negotiation on the price but I will consider trades for an early Streamer Stage I. I'm happy to supply more pics upon request.

bassoctopus Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Stop putting for sale ads up, I feel like it's my duty to comment on these basses As per usual, this is as described and worth every penny. I would have bought this already if it was a five string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh3184 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 hope this is on the official warwick forums, they'll snap up a piece of history like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Stunner...wow. I seriously envy the lucky so and so who will be owning this in the near future, but it's not going to be me as I am not rich enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thanks for all the kind words I'm sure various BC members can attest that I'm a very approachable chap; so if you live within reasonable traveling distance and are 'interested' then you can just call in to give this (or any of my basses) a blast with no obligation to hand over dosh! I 'think' I now know what I want (and it may involve stripping lacquer and stain off a certain blue bass) so I'm kind of clearing the decks a bit further. To which end, a fantastic EB/MM Sterling that I wheedled out of Peter may also be available As it stands I have a Dolphin, Orange Pumpkin Stage I, 'Infinette' and possibly the Sterling available should anyone be interested. Cheers one and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBomber414 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 'Probably' the rarest Warwick bass you will find - Quote But 'Probably' not quite as rare as a punter with £1,925 to spend with the economy about to go into meltdown. Good luck with the sale. Must stop reading The Daily Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
