ianrunci Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) After spending a day trying out every bass under the sun, I can't find anything that looks, sounds or feels better than this. Unless I spend about 3 grand So it is staying with me Edited July 30, 2008 by ianrunci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrunci Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Might be looking to sell this now I think and look round for a new bass afterwards. Not really sure what they are going for at the moment, time to trawl Ebay I think and have a look at the prices. "Still open to trades though", although pref someone from oops norf so we can both try out before trading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrunci Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Still available, I am dreading putting it on Fleabay but its getting close to that time. Really lovely bass this chaps for anyone who like Warwicks. Not sure what they were new b ut I think it was around the 1200 mark. The new ones can be bought at GAk for 899 but they are definately inferior to these older models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) These are great basses - I have a '97 model and it plays and sounds amazing. As you're probably aware, the Warwick market is slow. From what I've seen on here, as much as they did retail for £1200+ back in the day, you'd probably be lucky to get £500 for one right now. Such a shame as they really are quality instruments and, as you say, far superior to the current LX range.

bassfunk Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This used to be my bass (not that it's gonna sell any quicker for that fact!). But I can vouch for both the bass and the seller. If I had more than two pennies to rub together I would be incredibly tempted to take this back! Good luck Ian I hope you can find a buyer/trade for this.

I'm not too bothered, it costs the same to buy a new one of these new as it does a fender US Jazz or a stingray. The second hand prices should be about the same but it comes down to how popular they are at the time of the sale. I might wait around a bit cos I think they will eventually bump up in price.

The bands coming on great except the drummer has decided to go on holiday for 6 weeks! just when we're ready to start gigging! Good luck with the sale mate.

I thought I had it sold at one point but it turned out to be a scammer to be honest I am becoming more reluctant with every gig I do with it to part with it, its just that I really fancy jazz type thingy or a Stingray for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
