The bass is in 9.5/10 condition, with only a very minor mark on the reverse of the top horn as far as I can tell, pretty tough to photograph but I've tried.
It will be supplied with a kinsman soft case (not bag). Pictured.

This bass has a low, low fast action up and down the neck.
Sound wise it's a very versatile instrument, with its bartolini pickups and three band EQ you can get pretty much any tone you like. I enjoy the fact that the EQ range is highly useable! No OTT boominess or excessive 'clack'.
It does the Marcus miller slap tone just as nicely as that bridge pickup burble or the neck pick up 'slam'. One of the nicest playing and sounding bass I've owned (over 75, mainly four figure basses!)

Every little detail is spot on,the truss rod cover alone is a little work of art, as is the counter sunk heavy duty bridge, the coach line around the headstock, the fit and finish are exemplary!

It weighs, almost nothing!!!! Like polystyrene nothing!?! Maybe 5/6 pounds at most at a guess.

The body and neck have a lovely open grain feel,very Warwick like, and the finish is quite stunning. There is a genuine, deep, hypnotic optical depth to the figuring. I've NEVER seen a finish like this on another one of these, or on anything else at its price point.
In terns of bang for buck, it's the best I've seen. Bar none. I've polished the frets, babied it, set up the thing just right and loved it. But it's last in first out.

I'm asking £250 collected from Cheltenham. Or £275 delivered mainland uk only. I'd MUCH MUCH MUCH prefer collection, as the case is pretty large, and I don't have facility to wrap the snot out of it for protection like I used to.
Payment wise I'd prefer cash on collection or bank transfer, PayPal at a push, but I don't want to pick up the fees for it.

It's a wonderful instrument that should make someone very happy indeed :)

That's the prettiest SR500 I've ever seen. I had 2 SR800s & sold them both - had regretful SR GAS for ages now.

Wish I had the space/funds to go for it, doubt I'll see its like again.

Jon.
