  1. Regardless of what you pay or researching sold prices of similar models I still get a pile of lowball offers when selling I've even agreed a price , delivered it for free and then the buyer thought now was the time to haggle over the price! Humans eh
  2. You not seen the euro lately Kev? So glad this isn't a broadneck, or I'd be in trouble!!
  3. Congrats and also Yeee Harrr ?! Interesting story behind the bearded fella too
  4. Another fan here. I was lucky I guess, I bought one that had been specced by someone else, turns out it was probably what I should have chosen if I had custom ordered myself but very unlikely I would've picked a p body. I think the maple jazz neck is a perfect combo for a precision. If any of you are in the north west you're welcome me to try it out. ( but it won't be leaving anytime soon ) GLWTS Karl. They dont seem to stick around long.
  5. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1421529825' post='2662440'] A close up: [/quote] Lovely addition that Kev. How early is it?
  6. I think the warwick 90s -09 period was more "all over the place " than all baseball bats. I've played several that were great and a few that weren't. Seems to be a lack of consistency, or maybe design changes over the years but I haven't actually logged all the build years and sat and compared them. My advice is try one and see how you got on with it Regarding the flat wound or not debate. The best sounding fretless I've come across at the moment is wearing a set of roundwound Elixirs. Lovely tone. Flat wounds I find are too thumpy
  7. Personally id be scouring the used ads for a warwick fretless bargain. I know of a couple, but they're mine ,all mine I tell ya!!

    NBR

    That's tasty! Really like the headstock wood/ scratchplate combo. Congrats !
  9. Haven't had the pleasure of a fretless warwick yet. Any particular model you're interested in? If you haven't already, it would be worth posting this on the warwick forum. http://forum.warwick.de/forumdisplay.php/10-Warwick-Bass
  10. I also suffered with Stingray post GAS disappointment Fancied a stingray for years, since seeing Pino playing his fretless one in the 80s, then Flea but never got around to trying one out. Last year I saw one at a good price and bought it on the spot. All I can say is I'm glad it was cheap, it was such an anti climax playing it. It was a classic 4 I think. I later tried a US SUB and much preferred that strangely. I still would like to try an older pre EB just to see, as there must be more to them than the one i had, and I am a huge fan of the Stingray sound.
  11. [quote name='green' timestamp='1420764897' post='2653302'] Just measured it: The string spacing can be adjustet between the extremes of 16.7mm and 18.3mm. I just like the wide spacing, so that's why it's at the widest setting right now. [/quote] Thanks for that. Is that control plate covering a cavity or can it be removed?
  12. [quote name='green' timestamp='1420752659' post='2653135'] of course it is ! [/quote] Ok thanks. ! Can you divulge any more detail? How wide / narrow it can be adjusted?
  13. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1420737262' post='2652838'] Out of curiousity, is the bridge spacing adjustable? [/quote]
  14. Nice. Still have a headless itch every now and then. I think I was admiring this on talkbass earlier in the week.
  15. I can't even begin to imagine what 30,000 dollars worth of disappointment feels like. Obviously this is speculation as there hasn't been a reason for sale stated in the ad.
  16. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1420574829' post='2650862'] When I sell this Warwick, that's it, I'm done, finito. Aye, right, [/quote] Yeah, me too
  17. Karlfer how do you keep finding wronguns to deal with ? Well dodged !
  18. Very high action too. You really have to dig in to get the sound, stemming from double bass playing.

    MJT

    Often see MJT stuff popping up on eBay. Nice finishes from what I've seen, although I think ice only seen bodies not complete builds. You could look at this guy in France, can't comment on them from any personal experience but they look nice. http://www.stevie-g.fr/BIENVENUE.html
  20. I would be interested in hearing more about this.
