jogi Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It just doesn´t get the attention it deserves, so here´s your chance of picking up an early Dolphin Pro I. Plays and sounds great with an unbelieveably low action. It does have some scratches (more pics on request) but overall it´s still in very good shape. The old indestructible Warwick flightcase is included. The only previous owner was one of the first endorsers of the company who got the bass for a photoshooting and didn´t use it much afterwards. I´m asking 1390 BP incl. shipping to the UK, all other international shipping please ask for qoute. My mail address is sweers(at)web.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jogi Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 I´ll take some more pics - should be able to do so tomorrow! As far as I know all of the very early Dolphins are like that. I heard rumours that Pascal Mulot suggested the colour but he doesn´t remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxblues Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi, My main bass is the red version of this except it has a JJ pickup configuration. Great bass, wouldn't part with it. Cheers Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 They have a Dolphin that looks just like this at Cash Converters in Newcastle. Looks like it needs a good clean but there might be a decent bass in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogi Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Now thanks for pointing THAT out. Stuart, I also have the Dolphin Pro II with bolt-on neck and JJ pickups - won´t sell that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jogi Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Don´t think this is true drool material, did them rather in a hurry before rushing off to work. Anyway: here you go! You will notice: - slight pitting on the upper horn (from wearing a wrist watch while tapping?) - slight belt buckle rash on the back but nothing dramatic - the fretboard seems to have been cleaned at some time using wire wool (the frets need a little cleaning, but that´s just superficial) - as with a lot of old Warwicks that have an opaque finish instead of oil and wax the serial number is illegible apart from the first two letters That´s it, it plays like a dream, sounds great and with a little effort it should be possible to reduce all the wear to almost nothing. Gentleman in France is very interested but has to sell his Lakland Darryl Jones 5 first. Edited January 20, 2010 by jogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 phwoar, that's a beauty! is it a nitro finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogi Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Very good question! Next question please? But seriously, I don´t know - but I have posed the question to the hopefully knowledgable people at the Warwick forum. I´ll let you know as soon as I have an answer.

lscolman Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Chris2112, Just checked with Cash Converters in Newcastle, and it's a Pro II in Blue. They want £875 for it. I already have a Pro II in Black, and they are great basses. Cheers, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some later Pro II were built by Shadow but rumour has it that quality wasn´t adequate, leading to the abandoning of the whole Pro II series.
