OOooOOOooh... what is the nut width, please ? Is it still possible to fit a Jazz Pup in the Neck position ? (with a change of pickguard, of course) ?

I confirm. 480W RMS power handling @ 4 ohms. It probably is possible to re-wire it in 8Ohms, or even have a switch should you need to add another cab.

That thingy is weighing around 50kg and is clearly oversize for any courrier. Unle you're ready to pay thousands to get it.

It's the very same bass as my Regal, too. They all must come out of the same factory. Very great sounding basses, mine is strung with piccolo strings, it's an amazing instrument.

OW, stinky poo. Gotta get outta here...

DiMarco is a Top Bloke and a very trustworthy person, if I may say. I would already have bought this bass, were I not addicted to Broadnecks.

Oh, please, this is ridiculous. It's worth at least three times thisprice, espectially with the Flight case ! You won't find a better cab, soundwise. @silverfoxnik, it WILL fit in the C1

Damn. I suppose the mod to transform this in a 19mm sting spacing bass is not possible ?

I feel an urge to buy this and ad an EB0 or DiMarzio Model One at the neck.

Feel free to use 🙂 https://photos.app.goo.gl/GiVQ3NYKVpVquusD9

A great modification, not too expensive, is to replace the MEC pickups by DiMarzios (and of course change the blend pot). I did this as Iwas never fond of active pickups. The resulting sound has been noticed - in a good way - during basscamp by none other thant Steve Bailey, Armand Sabbal Lecco and Dave Ellefson.(I must have somewhere a picture of Dave playing my Pro2).

Love those. Had two, but the thin neck is alas too thin for me big fingaz. This one deserves to be stripped and refinished. The ash under is often quite beautiful, might be a good idea to try a natural.

Is it a 38mm nut ? it looks larger...

Ow. stinky poo. Now I want it. Alas, No trades means I'm stuck, being low on cash but High on gear :- )

Nah, I made a mistake : no serial = German. Serial was stamped at Warwick's after inspection.

Ahhh, thing of beauty. Dolphin Hoarder, here. I had a 89 Pro 1n blue, a 91 Pro1 5 boiré/BArts (the one Ebenezer talked about) a 91 Pro1 Boiré and a 19 Pro2. The story as already been told, not much to add. The real way to tell if it's a (poorly ? ) german made or a japanese is the serial number/Color combination. If it has NO Serial (stamped at the top of the head), AND if the color is SOLID (Red, blue black see below), it's a german one. If the color is transluscent, it's definetely Japanese. If solid Color with a serial, again, Japanese. I heard of but never saw a transluscent without serial number. This bass doesn't sound like a traditional warwick. The more standard woods are the culprits. Wengé fingerboard and bronze frets do however retain the growl. It is also a very special neck, 42mm nut but very, VERY thin and fast. The pickup placement is in the Thumb range, and makes it a nice bass for the virtuoso stuff with harmonics, tapping and slap. Mine was modified (at the Warwick Factory) with a pair of DiMarzio DP123 and a change of blend pot (to accomodate the passive pickups). This changed the bass into a real Rock and Metal monster, played, approved and signed by no other than David Ellefson. Final thing to say is that it's probably the better balanced Warwick there is, with a very lightweight. Mine was 3,7kg.

For those like me who had a hard time with the A, B, C, D, V, U tyupe of neck : As to the letter designations, "A", "B", "C" and "D". These were stamped on the end of the necks from the early 1960s to about 1973 and refer to the neck width at the nut - not the shape. A = 1½" B = 1⅝" C = 1¾" D = 1⅞" ANd then you have the profiles U, Soft V, HArd V, C and D. Kind of my dream PBass here, especially with the refin (or was it originally refin ? ) but I love C nut on my P-Bass...

Ebony neck !!?? never seen that. That bass must sound so clear and shiny, coupled with the barts and the special pickup placement, it must be a killer thing.

I have the same model, and quite frankly there's nothing not to like aboutthose. Wide neck, but narrow profile, 19mm string spacing, dual P Barts..; (those are the Olde rmodels, newer ar J Humbuckers, those are split coils, like P-pickups) Super stable neck (lamination and twin trussrod, you can be safe on this). Three band EQ so you can find your sound. I swapped mine for a Spector Tonepump, and now the bas is dismantled to be resprayed in Chrome with a Drakglass ToneCapsule. It's not that heavy as it balance very well, and remind the wood combination is in no way a light one. Almost tempted to get a second one...

What is the string spacing on this one, please?

WANT ! So sexy.

Great bass for the money. Too bad Europe ain't that big anymore...

Dat bridge... with a good setup, it can mimick perfectly (yes, perfectly) the sound of a fretless bass. Great instrument.

The real Thumb Growl...
