Jubilee, that was it.

Yes of course you are correct, It might have just been the particular model I bought, funny how that changes your views of everything, I should be less short-sighted Maybe I should look at them again, although I admit to being an Ampeg fanboy. Massive silver thing it was, 400 watts but no punch at all, can't remember the exact model.

Not tried one of these, but I have had Marshall bass heads. Never seemed to be able to get the tone I wanted, they seem like one trick ponies to me. Ampeg are also somewhat one trick ponies, but it's a much better trick.

That's the worst sunburst I have seen since the Kay's catalogue Satellite basses in the 1980's -
Well, yes. Not surprising, really.

Might be worth it for the neck and pickups though... -
I had my doubts, the construction is different to a Modulus neck (although I could have been sold on Status), while googling B-Quad, you can see that they do look like Modulus. Thanks for confirming.

Thanks -
I think so. -
4 kilos. Doesn't feel particularly heavy when strapped on.

Sorry, I made a mistake on the price and I can't edit it. It's £1400.00. 3EQ Straplocks Stealth hardware Rosewood board This bass was made as a special order in 2018. As soon as it was delivered I joined a band that needed a 5-string so it never really got played. As a result, it's still in as-new mint condition, not a mark on it. It has a Hipshot D-tuner fitted and comes with a Music Man hard case. For those not in the know, the SLO special has a narrower nut, similar to a Jazz Bass or Sterling, and they are reasonably rare. Only selling because I can't play at the moment due to a damaged wrist joint from a motorcycle accident, and it might be a year or two until I can get a joint replacement. I have feedback on here, please feel free to check it out. Obviously, no trades, and I would prefer to sit you in front of an amp with a nice cup of tea if you'd like to collect it, but meetups are available and we can discuss couriers at extra cost.

German built. Bit of a rarity this, as most $$ Warwicks are the cheaper Corvettes. Body: Ash Neck: Maple Fretboard: Wenge String spacing 16.5 mm This bass is in very good general condition. A tiny bit of wear, e.g. to the MEC logos on the pickups which have rubbed off a bit. There is a scuff on the underside of the bass as shown. This isn't a dent, more like a scuff in the finish, and it would probably buff out if it bothered you. Great variety of tones on this bass, you can get a very funky sound, not unlike a vintage jazz bass but with added Warwick growl, or you can go full on rock and metal. The narrow string spacing makes it very fast to play. Semi-hard case and strap with straplocks included.

These are always described as "Very rare", as if rarity was some kind of virtue. What they don't seem to realise is, they are rare because nobody else wanted one.

"Not sure of the date, but with the Guild humbuckers it should be somewhere between 1970 & 1977." '76 according to the Guild serial checker. I wonder if it has been stored under string tension, as you'd think it might lift the bridge a bit over that period of time.
