JohnR Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I am selling this as I haven't really played it much since buying it. I have been retired from playing with bands for over 10 years now and this was a mid-life crisis purchase. I just can't tear myself away from my Wal which I love. I bought it around 18 months ago through a contact I made on the old bulletin board but an impending house move is forcing me to rationalise my kit. Details:[list] [*]Left Handed Warwick Thumb 6 String [*]Custom Shop Built 15th February 2005 [*]AAA Flamed Maple top grain [*]Flamed Maple neck [*]French Violet Stain [*]Fretted Ebony Fingerboard [*]Gold Hardware [*]MEC 3-Way active HB/HB [/list]Comes with case, straplocks, manual and custom shop certificate of authenticity. I would accept £800. I am based in Glasgow and would prefer collection if possible.

Veils Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I wonder how long it would take me to learn to play inside out........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Spare a thought for us poor left hookers who have to watch all these wonderful righty basses come up for offer every day. I would love to have a Fender JP signature Jazz but they aren't available left-handed. I can always dream of getting the Fender custom shop to do one for me though. I did once seriously consider relearning to play right handed but life is just too short for that. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 [quote name='paul, the' post='55674' date='Sep 5 2007, 12:16 AM'] What a price![/quote] I got the bass for a pretty reasonable price and I don't want to attempt to profiteer from my fellow bass players. No doubt I could have asked for a bit more if it was right handed as there would have been a larger market for it. It is now provisionally sold and I have someone coming to look it over.

whynot Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 [quote]bet that neck is divine to play on.[/quote] Sure is. I had a chance to pick it up before passing John's number to the original seller. Would have had it myself if it were a 5 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftySteve Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Could someone please buy this bass...... I am not going to be able to resist it much longer!! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have someone coming over on Saturday to look at it and he seems to have his heart set on it. I promise to keep you posted. Funnily enough, after years of buying moderately high-end basses, I suddenly find myself lusting after a nice Jazz or Precision. It must be something to do with old age.

BigBassBob Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i'm gonna say wat's already been said, but that is a GORGEOUS bass and an even nicer price for it! I assure you, if I wasn't right handed and could perhaps make fast money from medical testing, this bass would be mine in a second Good luck with the sale mate!
