P-T-P Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) I bought this a few weeks back from MB1 and while it is a cracking bass, I'd like to turn it into something that's going to be a bit more suited to me and the kinda music I play. [attachment=2508:006.jpg][attachment=2509:008.jpg][attachment=2510:009.jpg] [attachment=2511:007.jpg][attachment=2512:010.jpg] It's in superb condition and it comes with a virtually new case. I've found the bass thoroughly enjoyable to play, especially when it comes to slap and funky fingerstyle but when it comes to how I actually use it in a gig situation, there's just too much of a difference between it and my DJ5 for comfort, which is a shame because it sounds very different to the DJ. I'm not sure if it is because this is a 4 string and I've just got too used to playing a 5 or if it is because the styling of the bass is such that it sits so very differently. This cost me £735 so I'd be looking to get that back either in a trade/part-ex or for sale. I could possibly add some cash to a deal for the right bass. I'm interested mainly in 5 stringers but would consider the following 4s: Fender US P or J, MMan (never owned one, maybe it's time), Warwick Streamers, Lakland 4s. I like maple fretboards moreso than other woods. I'd consider fretless too (especially unlined). Thanks for looking.

Here are some pics. To avoid misunderstandings: I'm not going to part with the red one! That said: the black one is really in mint condition. I made the pics this summer with a professional camera and you can see every single fingerprint! Have a nice day!

P-T-P Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Some very good offers so far, a couple of which I'm still thinking about as they are all 4 stringers. Anyone else? Cash would work too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB1 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 MB1. Greetings P.T.P! This bass is probably the best Warwick Thumb Bass i have ever played.This totally beats the normal wenge/ovangkol/bubinga bolt on.I can also verify that this is in immaculate condition and plays like a dream.Its also one of the best Limited Edition series Warwick have done.If you need more proof ask Stuart Clayton on this very site, as he did in fact review one for Bass Guitarist Magazine. The photographs dont do it justice to be honest it has to be seen in the flesh so to speak!(bugger to photograph!). All The Best Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks Martin, There's no doubt in my mind that if I played in a band that was more suited to it, it would end up being my number one bass because it sounds and plays amazing, just too different from my Lakland for comfort. Lot's of interest as you've seen but nothing spot on the mark just yet and it's a fun bass to have around so I won't be too concerned if I have to keep it!
