  1. Would happily buy it but no idea how to use Facebook marketplace!
  2. Apparently the finish is original. Went quite cheaply for an active Wal!
  3. **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.

  4. Now sold! Up for sale is my incredible, very limited and very collectible, unlined fretless Warwick Corvette Standard, Special Edition from 2009 - made in Germany. This bass is number 8 from a very limited run of only 30 basses! 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. 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 one of the best balancing Warwick by far - thanks to the long upper horn. It is very lightweight too at only 3,45kg/7,6lb. Controls are vol(with push/pull for active/passive switching), pickup blend, bass and treble. The bass is in excellent condition as you can see from the photos! There are 3 very small dings which I have highlighted in the photos. There is also one other mark but I dont know if it is a scratch or part of the wood grain- i have highlighted it just in case(see the last 3 photos). There is some wear to the logos on the pickups which I have shown in the photos. All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware.

  5. 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!
  6. Can't believe this is still here! These basses are tone monsters and the pickups are super hot!
  7. 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
  8. Just to update, anyone looking to ship basses from the EU should check out Packlink. There prices are great, they are the preferred agent for Reverb.com and have comprehensive insurance options.
  9. It looks heavily "inspired" by a Wal indeed.
  10. Sold my Yamaha TRB4 MkI to Brian. Great guy to deal with and happy the bass has found a good home
  11. The alignment of the strings with the pole pieces is interesting... Other than that, looks like a well made bass
  12. Wow! Probably the best looking Spector I've seen! That colour, combined with the wood grain and gold hardware! 👌
  13. Stunning! Normally I love the woods that Wal use but this black finish is gorgeous 😍
  14. BTW, the battery cover is not missing, I took it off to show the corrosion on the terminal.
  15. **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....
  16. **SOLD STP** Up for sale is my beautiful Yamaha TRB4 MkI with the "slapcut". This beauty was made in Japan in 1995. Killer tone and amazing build quality as you would expect from a Japanese Yamaha. The pre amp plenty of sonic variations including user presets that you dial in within the control cavity, and then you can switch between them using the middle pot. Controls are Vol, Blend, Treble, EQ, Bass. The EQ has 3 positions - 1st position = flat, 2nd pos = "EQ1 user definied", 2nd pos = " EQ2 user defined 2". Lovely balance and lightweight at only 3.5kg! Controls are volume, blend, tone, tone Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 26 year old instrument. 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. There are the usual dings but not too many(see photos). As well as some light corrosion on the neck bolts and tarnish on the gold hardware. One of the battery terminals was corroded but I have cleaned this thoroughly. BTW, the battery cover is not missing, I took it off to show the corrosion on the terminal. The bass will be shipped in a high quality gigbag, packed within a strong shipping carton. Shipping to UK £55, EU £25 - cheaper options are available if I detach the neck and the buyer reattaches it upon arrival....
  17. **price drop to 675GBP** Up for sale is my awesome and collectible Warwick Fortress One from 1993. Made in Germany, this is one of the very first ever to be produced as confirmed by Hans-Peter Wilfer (Warwick CEO). Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 28 year old instrument. 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. Lovely ergonomic and exceptionally well balanced bass - the best balancing Warwick by far thanks to the extra long upper horn. Nice and lightweight too at only 3.6kg! Controls are vol, blend, tone, tone The bass is not perfect though, there is some damage to the body as shown in the photos. The damage is NOT structural and is no cause for concern, it has been repaired and you wont notice it sonically or while playing.

  18. Incredible bass! I love mine! You are a little off on the current retail price though - you need to add 950€ for the 5 string broadneck option, then 610€ for the (what I assume are)passive Barts! So that's a rather horrifying 8839,00€ retail - which makes your price seem even more of a bargain!!! GLWYS
  19. I had a similar issue with an Aria Pro II bass. I found a break in the wire on the actual pickup - thankfully it was on the outside of the windings. I simply unwound the broken wire enough to connect it to the terminal, carefully shaved off the enamel coating and soldered it to the terminal. Worked perfectly after that. Obvious won't help you if your pickup is potted or you can't see a break in the windings.
