Withdrawn - Warwick P-Nut III & Status Buzzard 2 ( I'll keep them ) please remove. £6000

[CPBass]

I'm going to offer them on here for a short time before I access more mainstream avenues of selling. They are priced at what they cost me as ive been very active in trading lately. Not looking for trades. OK....here we go:

1) Status Graphite Buzzard - 2. Sale or Trade

Up for sale is this very rare and WHITE HOT custom order early Status Buzzard 2 in blackburst. Superb condition with no dings, knocks or scratches. Alder body with black hardware, graphite neck with roman numeral inlays and red side LEDs. Comes with the original Status full fitted flightcase and all paperwork inc order sheet & invoice. An early model that sports the ' Buzzard' logo prior to legal issues between the Entwistle estate, Warwick and Status to which this bass was not connected except in name. An amazingly flexible 18v EQ fed by Status Hyperactive pups. Original paperwork & case candy included.
A collectors piece or a bass for someone looking for something seriously unusual that really does do everything. These are exceedingly rare and the old ones even more so, they were made strictly on an order only basis and really is quite special.

£1950 plus p&p
Will entertain offers of trades for quality 5 string basses of similar or less value with cash adjustment.

Active 3 way Seymour Duncan Basslines electronics with SJ5-3N and SMB-5D pickups with the usual coil tap switch. The neck is slightly slimmer on this bass compared to the number 2.

These basses are my pride and joy, I've worked, ducked and dived for years to acquire them. I cant justify keeping them as like most of us I could only afford my gear whilst they were earning their keep. I cant possibly play them all without work so they need new players who'll continue to put them through their paces.

Any trial is welcome with free tea and coffee. Fire any question via inbox or at
[email protected]. As these are a bit stiff cost wise I understand if you'd prefer to talk about deals. If so, inbox me your name & number and a convenient time and i'll call.

The Basses are advertised elsewhere!

Do you keep the B1 please .... ?

[CPBass]

I dont have a B1 Luc, wish i did

[Luc]

is it not the head of a B1 close the B2 ?

[CPBass]

The B2 is a toned down version of the original B1 with exactly the same electrics but alder body and graphite neck with the original B2 headstock. This one is one of the earlier models with Buzzard 2 written on the headstock. Any they make now must have B2 since the legal issues with Warwick.

[Luc]

I know the story, but the other head is from a B1 on the picture, no ?

[Black Coffee]

Thats gotta hurt parting with them warwicks.

[CPBass]

Oh dont start me off, i'm devastated to be frank.....dont know what im going to do.

Ive still got the Dingwall Z3 and to simply think of parting with that at the moment is just too much :-(

Blimey, Buzz', I feel bereaved myself just reading your post

[CPBass]

Such is life Scott but they wont be used anymore so its time for others to enjoy them.
Took a lot of effort to get them but if they go to good homes, ill be happy ish....

[CPBass]

Feeling flush?

Buy the 2 Warwicks and i'll throw in an immaculate Mono M80 Dual bass case!

Thats a bonus i'd say

[72deluxe]

That Warwick Streamer P - Nut Signature III is the most beautiful bass I have seen.
Pity I don't have any money, but I hope the sale goes well. Why not just keep them and play at home with smiles of joy?

What is making you retire?

[CPBass]

Im retiring due to poor health, the old ticker is just not up to it despite only being 41! Genetic glitches are a right pain.

I'm holding back a very nice Dingwall Z3 to keep me happy at home, just need to get rid of the rig too.

Happy days eh?? Lol

[Black Coffee]

Is that the Z3 in your signature thumbnail?

I'd love a Z3 but I'm gonna have to wait until kids aren't needing daily handouts. I was just about to pull the trigger on a super j and the funds got rerouted for something else. It's a no brainier really, happy kids or a bass for me.

But it's always ahead of me so time will reward the patient.

[MarkusWarwick]

If someone would buy my ss2 4-string id be having one of these me thinks!

It certainly is my Z3 and a wonderful bass she is. Much like yourself Ive dreamt of getting one and lets just say ive been lucky. She isnt for sale and doubtful she ever will be.....stunning

[gingerfish]

That P-Nut II is beautiful. So very tempted. May I ask roughly where in Wales you are based?

[CPBass]

South west in Carmarthen

[Kev]

Really sad to hear the news bud!

The P-Nut III is just stunning, wish I could justify it mate.

Best of luck with the sale!

[TheGreek]

Sorry to hear about your ill health...however I see lots of regret just over the horizon..

[CPBass]

Cheers folks,

A tough decision but if i get a health miracle then i'll be able to go on a buying spree again :-)
If these sell.

[juliusmonk]

Sh*t, sorry to hear that Col. Glwts mate!
