project_c Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Selling this as I now have a 5 string version. It has the classic Warwick growl, the wenge neck is in perfect condition, the body has a minimal amount of marks on it, and the bass had a full service and check-up at the Gallery as soon as I got it, so it's set up to perfection. The action is low, the neck is super fast, and it has the brass nut which you don't find on Warwicks any more unfortunately. It's set up with brand new Elixir's. Price - £350 plus postage, or free delivery to anywhere within greater London. Or it can be collected from central London.

Pete1967 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Folks, I can vouch for this... I bought it new from the Bass Centre in Birmingham. Genuine two owner beauty that is everything good about Warwicks and before they really went mass market. Looks to be in the same or better condition than when I let it go, so buy it, play it and love it... ...Dave's a top guy so deal with complete confidence.

project_c Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Nice one Pete, thanks. I've looked after it well, I'm really hoping I don't regret letting it go. It's the most 'authentic' sounding Warwick I've ever had, if it wasn't for the 5 string getting all the attention this wouldn't be going anywhere.

kevbass Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I bet this sells quickly! I had a Corvette bubinga myself but one with an ovangkol neck and it got the most compliments in terms of sound than any other bass that I have owned, including stingrays, USA jazzers and precisions. Whoever buys this will get a cracking bass at a nice price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Does this have active pickups or active electronics or is it all passive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
