Righty ho then, he didn't want my warwick (it wasnt on the board so I was asking a bit more for it)

So warwick back up again, I will go through my PMs and see if anyone offered.
I'm not overly keen to send it outside the UK at all (i dont trust postal systems!)

So the daftly low bargin price of £600 for folk on here.
or
a trade of at least £300 my way and something interesting. Hit me with what you've got.

Fender sold to Brick (ross) who seemed really happy.
Warwick still on hold for now for a few weeks while someone local tries to get his money together....

I wonder what you could do if you pulled appart/modded one of the takamine valve preamps

By the looks of things.....

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='388177' date='Jan 22 2009, 07:39 AM']As with the other basses that I have for sale I've had a lot of interest and interesting offers. I don't want to dick about and mess people round but I'm trying to firm up/confirm one or two offers of trades. However I do have to stress that these sales aren't because I'm suddenly destitute so I'm not giving any basses away. Luke may well have advertised his Stage I bass @ £600 (and sold it quickly ) but I'm not selling my fretless as cheaply (no disrespect Luke ) and my Ltd Ed bass is into 4 figures which may at least settle the matter for a few people. Cheers for all of the PMs and I'll sort this shortly but in the meantime there's no harm in keeping offers coming. [/quote]

Hi guys
A new streamer has a list price of over 3 grand.
My blue one 1991 one was listed at £600 as that is what I paid for it, off of warwickhunt, six months ago.
For the life of me I do not feel my one, or this one are worth as little as 600; I did feel it wrong however, to make a profit at the expense of someone else on this board and that is why my blue one was/is as cheap as it is. Thats my ethics or my stupidity and not what a early warwick stage one is worth!

Warwickhunt is an honest, helpful and great guy to deal with. And he has some great basses for sale at good prices.

do you think they would knock a grand or two off if I didn't want the book?

hmm two years wages pre tax.... AND a free book.

is it really interest free? They said student loans were interest free then they just compound at a rate slightly above the base rate.

Given the money problems we are all about to suffer i would recommend wee british companies may need your interest free money more than Fender corp. or yamaha corp. or whoever...

Hello

I think all PM's have been replied to, if I missed you I am sorry.
At the moment both basses are on hold pending sales going through and so on...
my fingers are crossed but if everything falls through then they will be back up....!




That was all very fast!

oops took the price off to make it simpler then went to score it out and forgot.
this bass selling and buying is quite confusing.... lots of messages!

umm if the warwick sells first then [i]maybe[/i] trades on the P bass.
As it is Im after cash for something else...

right..... lots happening at once....

streamer on hold, someone's going to have a wee look on friday for a [i]possible[/i] sale....

i guess some pics of a p bass would be nice too?
Sorry for the quality, it gets dark in scotland early.....

BLURB WOT I WROTE:
I bought it secondhand from Japan and the previous owner had upgraded the pots and jack socket from stock to branded USA made ones (switchcraft) and stuck an 'orange drop' capacitor in.
I upgraded the scratchplate from the singleply white one to a gold annodised aluminium one which I imported from the states and had fitted professionally. Both scratchplates come with it.

It's has one or two knocks nothing major and the shaft of the tone pot is damaged under the knob. Its been bodged with a bit of cork for a year or so now though.

Soundwise it is great. It has the classic P bass thump and sounds fantastic even straight into a DI box. It feels great and has a lovely neck.
The last pic tries to show some dings.


Edit: also i want to be fair and point out all its minor faults. Look at the pic with the close up of the body. small dink just above the pup. you can also see one of the screws is slightly off center. This is because the pickgard has less holes and one of them is a fraction out of line. The pickguard was fitted by a pro though. There is a 2mm or less knock on the bottom side (ie G string side) of the neck between the nut and 1st fret. Visible on photo.
almost new Status hotwire round core med-heavy strings.
Oh and it sounds amazing.

Ok.... everything's going on at once here. will just go and reply to your PMs....

[color="#000080"][size=5]Not anymore, withdrawn.[/size][/color]
I dont want to post it overseas, sorry.



The two basses in my avatar are up for grabs.
[s]Fantastic Fender Japan '57 P bass, US version with alder body and US pups. Previous owner upgraded pots and jack socket to US made ones, I stuck the gold annodised scratchplate on. I still have the original.
Sounds fantastic! £400 or offers....[/s]

Warwick Streamer from '91, bought off wawickhunt 6 months ago. Great bass, plays good (small neck) I just cant get on with the tone of the thing so up for sale.
the daftly low bargin price of £600 for folk on here.
or
a trade of at least £300 my way and something interesting (obviously the whole trade worth about 600 or so) (Hit me with what you've got.)




fingers crossed.

More info and pictures when I get back from work.
I'm in edinburgh if you want to have a go.

(oh and if you think Im asking too much a nice PM telling me what the value of this stuff is will make me happier than. "IMO you will never get that much" type posts )

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='384557' date='Jan 19 2009, 12:08 AM']My CIJ '57 P bass

I wanted a Squier JV and couldn't afford it so got this off a guy who imports them secondhand from japan.
Wipes the floor with every (and its a limited number!) of fender basses ive played. In a different league to the MIA i had considered buying.
I put the annodized gold scratchplate on it.
It just feels right in my hands and has a massive output seeing that it is a passive bass. Amazing neck.
Straight into a DI box the tone of the thing is as good as ive heard, It sounds just like a bass should in my head.

After getting it i sold the status shark i had started playing with and bought a '91 warwick ss1 off of warwickhunt. Even though my head knows that in many ways it is a far better bass it has made me fall in love with my fender again[/quote]


having written the above i went to the 'for sale' section, saw something and now both my basses are up for grabs!
oh dear.

PM sent

that is beautiful!

[quote name='budget bassist' post='384555' date='Jan 19 2009, 12:06 AM']my SUB bass won't be going anywhere i don't think. I've had it a year, and i just love the sound, the looks and the playability, and now they're discontinued they can only become more valuable![/quote]


you were thinking of selling a few weeks back wern't you???

all super nice and friendly

its obvious init?


(hehe chelmsford born and raised)

Egor, theres a bit of a gap between the bridge and the end of the body.....

I like the rockbass fortress.
I think it ticks some good boxes, its a warwick, looks good and doesn't just look like the cheaper version of one of their other basses.
I guess it kinda makes sense for warwick to try and improve their rockbass lines to pick up the 'first or intermediate' bass market. They have something about them which, providing you don't want a fender clone, is more interesting than the ibanez/yamaha offerings you may have.
I wouldnt surprise me if the german warwicks started making less BO basses and concentrating on more top end neck through models.

Probably already got your first draft of the for sale thread for it organised as well. [/quote]


oh... you got there first!

have fun up here!
