No pics but have emailed the seller for some as confirmation.
Too good to be true or a genuine bargain? I've been after one of these for a while (at the right price :) ) and jumped on this one straight away, even though i don't usually buy stuff with no pictures. Paid by Paypal anyways in case anything goes awry

Does this look ok or a bit dodgy?

Hopefully i've cured a long standing GAS problem, at worst i've lost the £20 postage fee


Cheers
Steve


EDIT: Heard back from the seller, seems pretty genuine and sent me some pictures of the bass. There's a scuff mark on the back but other than that it looks sweet, i have a strange appreciation for well used Warwicks anyways!

I'm assuming this is active 2band based on the fact it has 4 knobs? If not, what do they do? Ta

[quote name='pal1972' post='583501' date='Aug 28 2009, 01:11 PM']Git!!!! i emailed for some pics as ive git one already and wanted a second one for while! oh well you snooze you loose!! hope it works out for you these are amazing basses and i'd never part with mine for anything!![/quote]


Yeah i was gonna email him first but thought it wouldn't stay there long. You don't need 2 anyway, that's just greedy!

I've been GASsing for one of these for aaaaaages, missed a few very good deals (one cheaper than this one, although a bit battered) so hopefully i've finally scored one of my 3 favourite bass shapes. Only a Tobias to go now!

Quick update, this turned up 10 minutes ago. Apart from a little ding by the jack socket it's mint. Looks like it's hardly been played.

The seller also included what i presume to be a vol-vol-tone wiring he had going spare, nice of him and i think i'll find a home for it when i get my fretless piezo'd up

Will post piccys in the porn thread when i get home!

That Corvette was lovely too!

And i'm not gonna sell it, i've been after a Fortress for donkeys years ever since i first saw the Masterman reviewed in Music Mart! I'm actually GASsing for one of those now....

The colour on this one is really nice, quite a high gloss so in normal light it's a shade of brown but it's got greeny tinges to it. Neck is excellent too.

Not got any pics yet as i'm waiting for the missus to bring her camera round

The guy emailed to say he has posted and I should get it Monday or Tuesday next week.
It is the red oiled finish, which seems quite rare to find S/H.
Again, not too much detail, but we will see.[/quote]


I wouldn't worry, he said he likes to send things as soon as possible. He's a genuinely sincere guy by the sounds of things, kept me updated all the way through the sale and was more than happy to provide extra pictures and answer questions. Just a new seller who's honest and has good stuff to list but hasn't used eBay before. Everyone has to start somewhere! I bought mine blind with no pictures and he had a zero feedback rating, the bass is totally ace btw!
