karlfer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I got this in an upwards trade. Warwick Custom Shop Corvette $$ with LEDs. Issues, missing treble rotary (on it's way from Warwick), I will forward to buyer There is some paint wear on the front. Some headstock chips. It's mucky, it won't be on delivery. Please bear in mind this is a SANDBLASTED finish so the body surface has rivulets in it. For interested parties I will provide a photo of the original invoice for £4077 in 2011. I will also provide a photo of the original delivery note. I did my best to price up all the options yesterday, with yesterday's £/Euro exchange rate and it comes to a scary £6017 . I'm the second owner. It was made for an in a well known rock band, who's 1st three albums went gold. It owes me £1200 cash. It REALLY is not for me, far too much going on. Two pups, vol (pull for passive), blend, mid, treble, bass, two 3 position switches which I guess are series/parallel and, er, summat else DOH, EDIT! Weight, a rather back friendly 8lb 6ozs. TRADES/PART EX. A Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin is top of the list. Other Barefaced happily considered. Precision, esp 50's style. Please try me. Any trial in Wigan. COURIER. This thing comes in one of those Warwick massive cases, that weigh the same as a Ford Focus. Potential buyers would need to organise their own insured courier. Thanks for looking, Karl.

Kev Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 For those wondering, being a 2011 model this will have the new slimmer neck profile a lovely bass, I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 If I remember correctly, the third settings on the pickup toggle switches are single coil. Amazingly versatile basses and not too heavy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks chaps. All PM's replied to, thanks for the interest. To the chap who queried how much I was asking for this bass, well, I have a photo of the invoice, dated Oct 2011. It was £4077, so I reckon it's worth the £1200 it owes me. I do think it's worth a tad more than a (very nice) 00's Japanese Precision and £300. I have cleaned some of it, some still to do. I've put the backplate back on correctly, done some minor set up work, including lining the strings up with the pup poles. Should have done this stuff before the photos. Hey ho. Cheers, Karl.

karlfer Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Further pm's replied, thanks for all the interest folks. My gear needs have changed since last night, so, I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE A GREAT PART EX DEAL on a Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin (preferably with cover and cloth front) or perhaps an immaculate Compact + Midget, or two Compacts.

Dropzone Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I would have gone for this if it was a 5er. Very tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks Dropzone. Quite a few interested in this bass, most trying to raise funds. Proof of provenance has been supplied to some folk privately, including one of the videos of it in action. Some measurements have been requested by folk so I'm going to put them here. Disclaimer - all measurements done with dodgy 58 year old eyes Nut width 38mm Width at 12th fret approx 53mm Depth of neck at 1st fret approx 20mm Depth of neck at 12th fret approx 21mm Diameter at 1st fret (from top of fretboard E, to top of fretboard G, ie max measurement) approx 60mm Diameter at 12th as above approx 80mm In summary, it's kind of jazz neck, somewhere between a C and D profile Cheers, Karl.

karlfer Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Further pm's replied, still here. Still looking for a Barefaced, preferably Gen3 SuperTwin or Gen2 SuperTwelve (others considered) in part EX. Or a 50's Precision in part ex (or even straight trade on an excellent AM57RI with case). Warwick price list http://warwick.de/en/Warwick---Media--PDF---Pricelists--Warwick-Serie-.html Cheers, Karl.
