[*]All hardware and electronics are original and function perfectly, with the exception of the upgraded straplocks, nut and the volume pot(see below)
[*]Excellent cosmetic condition – one or two very minor marks but with a swamp ash body this is almost impossible to avoid
[/list]
[b]The not so good:[/b]

When I bought the bass it wasn't in the best shape cosmetically so I have refinished the bass using the same finish that Warwick use in their factory – they call it "natural oil" but if you read up on this it is actually a melted wax that they use instead of oil.
As you can see from the photos, I would like to think I have done a pretty decent job of refinishing it but there are some minor things worth noting(I want to be as honest as possible here as that is how I like to do business):[list]
[*]The neck socket is not completely flush with the sides of the neck – doesn't seem to effect sustain at all
[*]There is minor discolouration either side of the neck from the refinishing – not always noticeable, certainly not in playing position, but worth mentioning.
[*]There are some minor white marks on the plastic cavity cover – ive tried removing them but cant.
[*]The cavity cover is not 100% flush with the body – see photo
[*]There is some minor discolouration to the black headstock
[/list][list]
[*]The volume pot has a problem where by it outputs zero volume for a very small range of it's motion – from where 95% volume to 85% volume should be, there is no output at all – in both active and passive modes. Ideally the volume pot needs replacing but Warwick want silly money for one and realistically, if you just leave the volume on max or <85%, you wont have a problem.
[/list]
[indent=1]So what we've got here is a German built Warwick $$ with some very nice upgrades and in very good nick but with some minor cosmetic issues and a slightly dodgy volume pot.Ive taken all this into account when setting the asking price, which includes a cheap but perfectly serviceable hardcase.[/indent]

This seems amazing value for money, and $$'s are very versatile basses. Hopefully it will go to an appreciative owner.
