Nibody Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Having just had the results of an xray on my shoulder showing quite bad degeneration and osteoarthritis I have to part company with the heaviest and least used of my basses (I pretty much solidly play 5 strings now). I'm pretty gutted at the thought of selling it as it genuinely is a close runner for favourite of the ones I currently own. The previous owner replaced the stock Warwick "Fender high mass style" bridge with a Gotoh J510BO-4 as the original Warwick one was showing signs of tail-lift. I fitted it with Gotoh GB7 tuners (the Warwick ones didnt seem brilliant) and Hipshot GB7 Extender/detuner. (have a spare GB7 if the detuner isnt your thing) I also put a Matte black vinyl wrap with the Warwick "W" logo on the headstock as the original "Rockbass by Warwick" one looked ugly as hell - I believe the original is still under the wrap if you wanted to make it 100% "As stock". Also have the original Warwick branded bridge (complete with bend) that the previous owner included. There's barely a mark on it that I can see - It has lived in a delux Warwick Rock Bag gig bag since I bought it about 4 years ago. Soundwise its very versatile despite looking a bit pointy and gothic. **EDIT** Would consider interesting Trades, particularly a Gretsch Junior Jet II shortscale bass or Vintage VS100/Ibanez RG350 type 6 strings Edited September 16, 2020 by Silvia Bluejay topic title reinstated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Can't bear the thought of you parting with a favourite. Have you considered something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was suggested by a friend Chris (Former Bassist for Atom Seed and Bruce Dickinsons Skunkworks). To be honest I really have drifted into five string territory and I have my XS-4 which is incredibly light if I need a 4 any time. Its just not been used since I built the FrankenSpector, and the xray results have just given me a push in the direction of selling it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
