Can't wait to get my hands on this - thanks Mark. It'll go nicely with the black on black DJ5 and Black on Black MIA P - bit of a theme developing here I think.

[quote name='Marcus' post='163994' date='Mar 26 2008, 07:18 PM']Cheers DR ! I'll make it even more unbelievable, I'll throw in a Minty Guard and a decent Gig Bag !! Roll up !!![/quote] Mark, you're killing me!!!!

Looks like this is staying in the basschat community and will be going to someone local to me. Thanks for all those that have shown an interest, the search for a Jazz 4 type will now begin

[quote name='funkle' post='161997' date='Mar 22 2008, 10:58 PM']I suspect it's because Fender MIM Jazzes have the neck pickup the same size as the bridge pickup - a common hazard when replacing the pickups, and one you need to be careful of, if you're considering it. Pete[/quote] If it's any help, I can confirm that the neck pup offset on the E was the same before the neck was changed - I also assumed it was because of the pup sizes. as far as I could tell there hadn't been any mods to the bass before I got it. It certainly didn't affect the output of the E in comparison to the other strings.

All pm's replied to. Some interesting offers being considered, perhaps there is some Warwick love after all on the snowy and cold Easter weekend.

[quote name='artisan' post='161680' date='Mar 22 2008, 09:14 AM']its just a shame i can't get the correct notes out of it [/quote] Know what you mean, I used to try and invent my own key - H flat minor anyone?

[quote name='Mike' post='161655' date='Mar 22 2008, 01:11 AM']I know you might not be keen, but I have a USA Jazz 5 that I'm keen to swap for something - Black on black, rosewood neck. I'm sure we could come to a good deal![/quote] Thanks for the offer Mike, pm me with what you were thinking.

Guess we all have to do the fretless thing at some point hey Neil? Some of us are daft enough to have tried it twice (my go for #3 at some point). Bump for a great bass - also it's got an ebony FB like a proper fretless should have (?). Feel we've got to big up the Warwicks for the w/end

[quote name='lovedub' post='161528' date='Mar 21 2008, 06:30 PM']I can't think why anyone would part with a thumb bass after knowing such joy, I'd never part with mine. Good luck[/quote] Cheers, and sure I'll regret it, but I'd like a nice black on black Jazz to go with the P and DJ5. Also if I go with a white pick guard it'll match the dog (also a Border Collie - can't beat 'em)

[quote name='dougal' post='161512' date='Mar 21 2008, 05:56 PM']Gibbit. I'd love to take it off your hands but I'm in Surrey. Have a bump on me.[/quote] Dagnabit - if you're interested let me know, sure with the bassist typical big brain a solution could could be found.

I can confirm this is a very nice bass (helped to build it me'self) and Pete is a more than straight up guy to deal with. Anyone who hasn't had a go with a fretless graphite neck needs to at least once in their bass playing career - sub millimetre action (joke) and almost never needs adjusting. It's definitely originally a MIM2001 - I took the original (fretless) neck off - subsequently sold to Road Dog. Good luck with the sale, Mart

That's a lovely bass Nick - pity I've no cash.................Amex? Good luck, Mart

Cheers Neil, think we're all skint for Easter Somebody please take pity; the Wife want's to go shopping for cars, my [lazy] student daughter won't get a job, the dog's ill, I've seen a new Jazz bass with my name on it, I have to work 5 whole days a week for a crap company, c'mon. Not working is it?

I've got my eye on something over this easter madness so I'm bumping down to the ridiculously low price of £550 There must be some Warwick love on here somewhere?

Well, what can I say, I love this bass. Cracking sound and love the feel of the natural wood. I GASSED for one of these for ages and I've really tried to get used to it in a gigging situation but swapping between jazz and P type and this causes me grief. Its a 2006 build in mint condition and owned by me since early last year. It's been regularly waxed and pampered and not overly gigged. Comes with Warwick gig bag (so collection only - sorry no posting) and the normal (excellent) Warwick owners pack (minus about 1/4 tin of wax). Ideally I'd like to trade this for a Jazz type, Fender MIA or Lakky Skyline JO/DJ (or even BG) - would consider throwing in some cash against the right bass. 4 strings only (I have enough bother with my DJ5). For straight sale I'd like to get as close to £580 as poss, but enjoy the fun of negotiation Pics below:
