tvickey Posted May 15 Posted May 15 (edited) I'm not playing 5 or 6-string bass much at all, so let's see if some others here are keen to play these basses that I have just lying around and then I can get something else with fewer string(s) with the money. This is a 2004 Warwick ChromeTone 5-string bass - Ebony board, bell-bronze frets, Ovangkol bolt-on neck and upgraded to brass Just-a-nut, Schaller turners and Schaller strap locks (original hardware has been kept, and will come with the bass... all perfectly functional, I just prefer the Schaller stuff). Bass is in great condition with no serious issues. Sounds really amazing, I just don't play 5-string at all these days. There are some scratches on the finish, and a couple of superficial dings, as you might expect for a 20+ year-old bass. I got this from BassConnection many years ago. Bass is at my place in Sheffield, and you're welcome to drop by and give it a play if you wish. I'm happy to post additional photos if there is interest.

tvickey Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 (edited) I've owned it for quite a while now, but never gigged it. I did take it into the studio though, as it does sound amazing. Original soft case and paperwork are all included too. Edited May 15 by tvickey more details 1 Quote
Snarf Posted Tuesday at 09:03 Posted Tuesday at 09:03 That's an absolute beauty! I'm thinking of selling my Vigier 5 string and a few other bits, love the Vigier but I just miss having a Warwick 5 string so much. If I manage to get the funds together in good time I'd be very interested! 1 Quote
tvickey Posted Tuesday at 12:01 Author Posted Tuesday at 12:01 (edited) Thanks a lot for your interest @Snarf. Please find some more photos, attached. I only realized when taking it back out of the case to photograph the documentation that this is a 2004... so already 20+ years old! Edited Tuesday at 12:05 by tvickey 1 Quote
Snarf Posted Tuesday at 16:44 Posted Tuesday at 16:44 Thanks for posting more pictures, that really is such a lovely looking bass. Time certainly flies! 1 Quote
