I have a 5 string Sandberg Ken Taylor - easily one of the best sounding and easiest to play basses I own or have owned! Incredible tone that cuts through the mix like a warm knife through butter Sorry to hear about your business. I hope things turn around for you soon

Yeah I've had similar experiences. The bass you mention wouldn't be a 6 string Stage 1 would it?

**SOLD** Now going even cheaper! Price Drop to only £725 for German made Stage 1!🤪 For sale is my 1987 Warwick Streamer Stage 1 lined fretless. The good news is this is a fantastic fretless bass - it's from the 'golden era' of Warwick and so it has great build quality and the best hardware - solid brass bridge, Schaller tuners, brass nut, EMG pickups etc. The tone is incredible and versatile - active/passive electronics with treble and bass controls. It has so much fretless "mwah" when you play it! The not so good news is that the headstock was broken - typical for streamers of that era. The break in the headstock was professionally repaired 20+ years ago so no need to worry now - the crack has been filled and painted over on the back of the neck so you won't feel it while playing. The other downside to this bass is that it was once played left-handed. Because of this, the owner added a straplock to the lower horn. He put it on very poorly though and I left a big hole when I removed it. I took the bass to a luthier who repaired the hole so the bass was as strong as before. I then painted over this repair to try and make the bass look like new. The color match is not exact, but the repair on the neck or lower horn cannot be seen on stage or from more than 1 meter away. I have priced the bass accordingly. I would add that, despite the details HPW has provided below, I believe the bass was not originally fretless, but was converted to fretless at some point in its life. Also, the fretboard is Wenge, not Ebony. Also, I added the active/passive volume pot - it is a high quality MEC pot as Warwick themselves would use.

**SOLD** Up for sale is my awesome Warwick Fortress One from 1994 - hand built in Germany! This is a truly exceptional instrument - not only is the tone incredible and versatile but the bass itself is very ergonomic and exceptionally well balanced - IMO it is the best balancing Warwick by far - thanks to the extra long upper horn. It is nice and lightweight too at only 4,07kg/8,97lb. Controls are vol, blend, bass, treble. The bass is in very good condition, especially for a 27 year old instrument! There are some marks though as you would expect from a used instrument - please see the last 4 photos for the few dings and scratches and there are also some blemishes in the finish on the top side of the lower horn. All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware. The fretboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished. The bass has just been strung with new Warwick strings.

It features a beautiful birdseye poplar top over a swamp ash body, maple neck and what I believe is either an ebony or rosewood fretboard. It has passive Bassline pickups paired with an active MEC 2 band pre amp.

Lot of bass for not a lot of money! GLWTS!

Even the neck joint isn't standard - normally on NT wicks the fretboard end slopes gently into the neck then into the body. As for the neck profile, it's a dream! Even though it's a broadneck, the shallow profile makes it so easy to play Even for ham-fisted individuals like me!

Holy Toledo Batman!😍

Can't believe this is still here! These basses are tone monsters and the pickups are super hot!

**price drop to 675GBP**

price drop to 400GBP

Stunning! Regarding the hardware, do you mean the black hardware was replaced with gold hardware or brass hardware - the brass hardware is very expensive and heavy and adds significantly to the sound of the bass. Normally basses from that era had the alloy hardware. GLWTS

Wow! Probably the best looking Spector I've seen! That colour, combined with the wood grain and gold hardware! 👌

Stunning! Normally I love the woods that Wal use but this black finish is gorgeous 😍

BTW, the battery cover is not missing, I took it off to show the corrosion on the terminal.

Yep, only those made in 93 according to what I have read...

**further price drop to 375GBP** Up for sale is a nice vintage high-end Ibanez from the late 80s. Research indicates the model number is SR800LE and the serial number reveals it was made at the legendary FujiGen factory around 1987/88. Features: Offset double cutaway basswood body, bolt-on three-piece maple neck, 24-fret rosewoood fingerboard w/pearl dot inlays, Gotoh tuners, AccuCast B20 bridge, one Lo-Z J-style and P-style Ibanez pickups, volume/blend/ bass and treble EQ controls, black hardware. Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 34 year old instrument! All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware - there is some minor damage to the bridge under the saddle for the e-string though - this shouldnt present a problem though as the saddle is set in the correct position for intonation so no need to move it. There are a few dings - see photos. The fretboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished. Lovely ergonomic and well balanced bass. Nice and lightweight too at only 3.6kg! The bass will be shipped in a Warwick gigbag, packed within a strong shipping carton. A generic hardcase can be added for a small surcharge. Shipping to UK £55, EU £25 - cheaper options are available if I detach the neck and the buyer reattaches it upon arrival....
