Gambisk Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Hi I'm selling my corvette after many years of faithful service it has been replaced by a Stirling and so isn't getting much love any more. This is the now discontinued model that was made and assembled in Germany by Warwick, not the cheaper rock bass. The bass is in good condition as you can see from the photos, there is one very small mark that I've tried to show, it is entirely cosmetic and in no way effects the playability. The pickup pot catches on the body a little as you rotate it but otherwise everything else is 100% as it came from the factory. Bass comes with all of the original bits and bobs including the strap-locks and owners bible, beeswax, trusrod tool etc.. The gig bag has definitely seen better days but is still serviceable just some of the stitching has ripped out, the price obviously reflects that. Asking for £350 Specification from Warwick site: Machineheads: Warwick Nut: Just-A-Nut III (plastic) Neck Wood: Ovangkol neck Fretboard: Wenge Scale length: 34" long scale Fret quantity material and size: 24 Jumbo Bronze (extra hard) frets (Width: 2,9mm/height: 1,3mm) Bodywood (Topwood / Backwood): US Swamp Ash body Pickups: Passive MEC "Dynamic Correction" J/J pickups Electronics: Passive electronics (vol, pickup blend, tone) Bridge system: 2-piece Warwick bridge Strap system: Warwick security locks Construction: Bolt-on - Available as 4-, 5- or 6-string Hardware colour: Chrome hardware String label / gauges: DR Lowrider: 4-string: 045" - 105" (40200M), Weight: 3,5 kg (4-string) Pics: Edited March 13, 2015 by Gambisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Wow! Not so long I paid almost as much for a much more abused one. I'd love it, but Mrs G would kill me. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Gambisk, I know this is being a bit pedantic, but the bass in the pics doesn't have a Just a nut III. The III is brass. Still a great bass though at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've had one of these and it was lovely to play (similar vintage) GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually looks to me like a Just A Nut 2, with the little clips at the side. (Sorry to be even more pedantic, haha). Again, great bass at an amazing price!

ordep Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think Descendent is referring to this: https://m.thomann.de/gb/warwick_just_a_nut_iii_4string_385mm.htm?ref=mrl_a_2 Nice bass. I am a sucker for natural colored warwicks. GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambisk Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks for all of the interest, I can confirm that the nut is indeed plastic. I'm not sure if it is the V2 or V3 just-a-nut as both appear to be available in plastic? Either way it works as intended and has never give me any trouble.

3below Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Based on my Warwicks - the nut is Just A Nut 2. It has the little side clips. Just A Nut 3 does not have these. JAN 3 is available in plastic or brass. Fitting JAN 3 is easy, just done in 5 mins to my Corvette this week. What a super bass for the money - have no connection with seller, just got the W bug.

It must frustrate Gambisk like crazy that we ALL love his bass, but not one of us has committed the necessary cash. PS, have another bump for a great bass.
