!!! SOLD !!! WARRIOR Dran Michael 4 (DM4) Custom Neck Through Signature with options and signed by ... Marcus MILLER, £2299 GBP delivered (see ad) !!! £2299 Etalle, South Belgium

[Hellzero]

Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

 

Superb looking, playing and sounding WARRIOR Dran Michael 4 (DM4) Custom Neck Through Signature with loads of options like wider strings spacing, inlays and higher grade woods.

What you see is what you get !

 

Look at the photos taken at different angles and under different lights to try to capture the real colour to see the real condition, which show only some little wear with a very few dings, crazy slapper scratches and other light scratches (no rear heavy marks or scratches), the most obvious mark being under the control cavity where the bass is left on a stand. The pickups are marked too, particularly the neck pickup under the E string as they were too close to the strings...

Still here ?! 🤦

Warrior’s basses are insane, at this price it’s a total bargain ! 🤯 One of the best neck profile in the World, a bit like those of Leduc’s basses.

And this flamed maple, WOW ! 😍

GLWYS Tony !
