SOLD-PLEASE LOCK. Warwick 2004 Bubinga Corvette 5 £350

[JazzBassfreak]

Hey folks,
So I've had this knocking around for a few years. It came to me with a broken truss rod. After taking it to a guy who thought he knew what he was doing, I discovered the neck was twisted too.

Anyway the guy took the fretboard off and planed a little too much. The area you see in the photos was filled with the dust from the Ovangkol neck, and wood glue+filler.

The low price is because obviously it's had work and the guy slipped up abit.

BUT it has a new WORKING Warick truss rod, no twist, very straight neck and low action. It sounds awesome and I've spent a year or so getting it to my liking in terms of action and being able to use the dam thing. MEC pickups, Warwick hardware, Bubinga body and Ovangkol neck.

I paid £570 for it as a project so it's a bargain for someone just looking for a bass to either tart up or beat up.

Cheers folks!

Hell yeah it is! It's honestly an awesome piece of kit. Especially considering the body, hardware and pickups would cost over £350 on their own

[jassbass]

Wish I had £300 well worth it

[GregBass]

What is the neck profile like on this - is it the slim neck or the chunkier newer one?

[JazzBassfreak]

It's been sanded off abit but I'd say it's a good chunk of a slim C. If that makes any sense. XD it's a chunky neck but it's skinny.
