So I'm having a bit of a clear out of gear that's knocking around the house / in my lockup that doesn't really get the use it deserves, and this is the first victim of the cull. It's an absolutely lovely Aria Pro II SB800 lined fretless, with period (I don't think it's original) case. Setup to be as low and fast as possible, without rattles. Also got some nice flat strings on it too. I haven't actually gigged it since purchase over a year ago. It lives in it's case under the bed and it's shame it doesn't see any use. For it's age, it's in excellent condition with only a few age related marks which are hard to photograph. The worst (which I have a pic of) is a chip in the lacquer at the very top of the head. I guess the best way to describe the instrument is as 'unmolestered' The bass is located in the Manchester area, and collection is preferred. I do drive up and down the country on a regular basis though for gigs, so meeting can also me arranged, or postage at buyer's cost / risk. Price wise, I'm after £600 and will consider sensible offers. 393736EE-3995-44BF-89A1-DF80DD6CFBEC_zpsirrti3s9 by Dave Butterworth, on Flickr B7C8687A-5DA1-4757-BAF5-1F48B74679B4_zpsnbvou55d by Dave Butterworth, on Flickr DAFB2699-77E3-426D-A249-1FE27F7E2B4F_zpscnor9wuc by Dave Butterworth, on Flickr 9F79A6C7-2D01-46D4-AB6F-04813C29C708_zpsmmg55sbp by Dave Butterworth, on Flickr

I never thought I'd see the day, but I've decided that I'm going to sell my Warwick Infinity. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, I've just got my eyes on something else, which I'd have to shift this on to pay for. So, about the bass. Made in 2006, Ovangkol wings with an AAAA birdseye maple cap, and 7 piece through neck. The electronics are the MEC three band EQ, with single coil and humbucker, which can also be split. It also has an ebony fretboard with stainless steel frets. Condition wise - it's in very very good used condition. It has some buckle rash as you'd expect from a working bass, but there's no chips or dents etc. Tt was originally an oil finish until about November 2015, when I had it professionally clear coated by Brian Eastwood (if you haven't heard of him, look him up). It wasn't a cheap job, but it's not a cheap bass. Whilst it was in, I also had the hateful barrel jack replaced with a proper, locking jack from Neutrik. The nut was also replaced with a Just A Nut III brass. This work was all done just before I jetted off to the other side of the pond, where it endured two months of solid playing, for around three hours a night minimum, 7 days a week. It never missed a beat, I never had to get the other bass if something had gone wrong on it, and it's worked very hard ever since and has never let me down. The build quality is absolutely impeccable. It comes with it's original issue flight case and the handbook pack from new. I'm based in Rochdale, North Manchester and collection is preferred, though if buyer covers shipping, I'm willing to package up properly and ship fully insured to the full value of the instrument. NOW £2250

Decided I'm gunna keep this - got a nice cab to go with it

Still here and going up!

Going up!

Cheers Andy, I'm always up to negotiation if you fancy it Also weight wise, it comes in at 4.1kg.

Sorry for the late responses guys, it's 34" scale, I'll pop it on the scales shortly and let you know!

Bumpity bump. I'll also look at trades, particularly interested in synths!

Also as far as getting it to places is concerned, I reckon I can post it for around £20. Let's face it, it doesn't need boxing up or anything! Just wrap and post... I also drive up and down the country a lot for gigs and such, so there's potential to meet somewhere as well if it fits with the diary. Lots of options!

Well like I said, United airlines dropped it off the plane with my beloved Infinity inside, no damage to the bass at all! It may sit close to the edges, but it's so strong that it won't compress inwards! Will a Mono Vertigo fit, definitely not I'm afraid. That's the main reason I'm selling up, on the last job I was on I met a bassist who flew his two basses out in a Mono double bag in a flightcase trunk sort of case. I've got a Harvest gig bag and a Warwick leather bag too, so similar concept, I've got a pair of Hiscoxs anyway and the flight case the Infinity came with, so this is a bit surplus! When I bought it I had to refoam it as well. There's a great website called efoam, then you choose your foam there, give them the exact measurements down to the mm, they'll laser cut the block so size, and then with a pen to mark out, and cut with a box cutter. Easy peasy. I cut mine in a rush about 20 minutes before I was due to pack the car to head for the airport, I could've done a better job!

As promised!
