binky_bass Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Could be worth a shout for someone? Though there appears to be a chunk of wood missing so will need definite skilled work! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312036160719 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yeah we've already had a thread on this one. The guy is a dreamer with that price - originally was 350ish and as high as 800ish. It's for parts only, can't see it possibly being repaired with the amount of wood missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Must be blind but I can't see another thread with this in it... if it was repairable it'd be worth a punt at £300, which is an offer I made that got swiftly rejected.

warwickhunt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Offering £300 was very generous! I saw a whole bag of 'W' hardware (2 sets) sell on ebay for £43, so you'd be paying £257 for a set of used MECs and a preamp (firewood body is free). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Gold-Hardware-Bass-4-String/253319179248?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still agree that £300 is very generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yeah the bridges on the ebay deal may not be of the same standard as the 92 but I've seen modern German Wicks and the bridges aren't as 'solid' as I'd expected. However, the basket case of a bass being offered is only good for parts and I could happily supply anyone with all of 80's 90's parts for £300 and throw in a bag of kindling for free!

FDC484950 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If you want an even bigger laugh take a look at what else this person has for sale - but be safe in the knowledge that he/she is “outside the congestion charge zone”?!?!

TheGreek Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Currently £450 - the neck/body are pretty much unusable - what are the p/ups, bridge, tuners and knobs worth?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect to find change from £200 if you bought the hardware and electronics 2nd hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Cut the neck off at the first or second fret and convert it to a headless short/medium scale 'Warwick'? - but not at that price!!

dyerseve Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The break runs down to about 4th or 5th fret in the back of the neck so you would lose an awful lot of scale length, maybe 5 or 6 inches at a guess. Also you would need an entire refret or new fretboard for that to work as well as all the headless bits like bridge and neck plate etc. Really it is only worth the value of the components which is £200 tops if the bridge is solid brass and not alloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
