Dazed Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I've posted this on the warwick porn thread too Any experiences of a fretless 5 string dolphin pro 1 2001ish with Bart soap bars against an 89 4 string with Bart mm + j ? Owned the 4 for many years and may now have found a 5 for sale. Curious how the sound is with differents pickups and later manufacturing compares? What's a fair price for a 5 like this?

Torben Hedstrøm Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Don't know the diff. But that one looks sweet... If you don't take it, I will certainly be interested . Fair price... Depends on condition. Not sure the market for fretless instruments is that hot, so it might go 'cheap' ?!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks Torben I had hoped the same about fretless price but its retail so not a bargain. Can't quite see in the pic but its lined not unlined. Shame but still a beauty. Edited January 17, 2014 by Dazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 To repeat my comment in the Gear Porn thread: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I can't imagine they will be worlds apart in terms of electronics. It will likely be a very similar, if not the same, preamp. Any chance you can have a play first? As the neck profile will be somewhat different from the 89, even more so if it has a gloss finish. Will have a deeper profile and feel a good bit chunkier. Weight should be about consistent with a 5 string version of what you have. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]DiMarco has a better knowledge of Lolphins than most, so hopefully he will be along to give a better answer. Value? Warwicks are all over the place at the moment, but anything under £1500 and IMO you are doing well [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 LOL! just kidding. I owned both the 89 with bart j+hb and a broadneck fretless 91 with bart soapbars. The 89 lacked in the lows and I always found myself dialling in the bottom end to max. I had the best midrange presence in the workd though and sounded very 'jaco' to me. Great bass! The 91 with bart soapbars had lots more low + high end but not too much. It is much more versatile then the 89 tone wise. By the looks of it the bass you're talking of is a custom shop order as it is lined and has bart soapbars while not being a broadneck. If I were you I'd be more then interested!

DiMarco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Or is it a broadneck? Can't see clearly on my smartphone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It is a broadneck by the looks of it. This was mine. Expect something similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hey DiMarco! That's lush! Ebony board? Looks good enough to eat! I'm having communication problems with the seller ( haha I wanna pay less and he wants more). Still trying to get confirmation on whether its a broad neck or not. At the moment it's kinda ground to a halt so we will see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torben Hedstrøm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 [quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1391631873' post='2359577'] It is a broadneck by the looks of it. This was mine. Expect something similar! [/quote] My long lost twin brother !!!... I'm just sayin'... If anybody sees this baby somewhere on a sale forum of sorts, PLEASE let me know !!!. A fretless 5 Pro 1 (BN) would pretty much complete my world ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 This bass has been in Simply Red, too. Just sayin' ... And I sold it to someone who had been searching for a broadneck fretless Warwick for years. No regrets, I still have a Dolphin Pro1 5str. with MEC stuff on, it kills! Hoping you can get a good deal on that fretless Dazed, keeping fingers crossed for ya. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Still in the air.... The seller doesn't appear to be very Internet friendly and we don't speak the same language. So very slow progress .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
