  1. This! I've had a bottle for at least 5 years and it's not even half empty after about 30 fretboard and one very very thirsty large oak coffee table.
  2. That's the nicest piece of walnut I've ever seen 😍 GLWTS
  3. Wow that sounds like a lot of work. Why do you clean your frets so often? Or do you just have a lot of basses? I've cleaned many a fret and fretboard and find using 00 grade steel wool works wonders for both. Here's one I did recently(before applying the finishing touch of lemon oil)
  4. Hello All, So I recently moved from UK to Germany and I am looking for advice please in terms of shipping basses from Germany to outside the EU - mainly the UK and USA. From the UK you could ship a bass in a hardcase to the USA for about £120 and then purchase insurance from a broker for an additional £35. Here in Germany the options seem very limited and extremely expensive- from 350€ upto 450€!!! If anyone has any info on cheaper shipping options and insurance brokers in Germany I would be very grateful. Thanks
  5. Awesome bass! What is the neck material though? Or is it just a finished neck?
  6. Awesome Thumb! The neck sounds completely fine - I guess it is currently setup with no or very little relief and as such, once the tension from the strings is removed, the tension from the truss rod will naturally bow the neck backwards slightly. As long as there is still movement in the truss rod to increase the relief (ie. You can slacken the tension in the truss rod) then all is as it should be.
  7. Actually I think you are correct, especially considering they both have the Bart soapbars which are rare. Yes it is sad but rather inevitable I guess. Who knows, maybe one day the brand will be revived...
  8. That is a very nice Corvette! Lovely Bubinga body and Wenge neck and fretboard. Until late 90s was considered a great era for Warwick so this would fit in there nicely. The grain on the back of the body is just gorgeous and really highlights the lovely body contours. Im sure the front is great as well just the photos are not the best quality hint hint...😝
  9. Upping their game or rather returning to their form of the late 80s and early 90s. Had a 5 string NT thumb before and loved it,even though it was from 2000. Still have my 90s Streamer Stage 1 broadneck and love it. A broadneck, NT Thumb, I can only imagine! Though my 40th is coming up so who knows....
  10. Thank you very much to @kodiakblair and @briansbrewfor their very informative posts - I have updated my ad accordingly.
  11. Lovely looking bass for what seems to me to be a great price for such a high quality instrument! Build quality seems to be top notch - that neck joint looks tighter than a duck's ....!
  12. I've used Reverb for years and always had excellent customer service from them. I recently had to upload photo ID too but no qualms with this. You also have to prove to Reverb that you are the account holder of the bank account linked to your Reverb account. Given this is where the cash from the sales you make on Reverb ends up, it seems completely fair and logical that Reverb need this info. Pretty sure this will only become more commonplace in the not too distant future...
  13. Stone cold bargain for one of the best sounding Warwick basses! German made quality and super versatile! Shouldn't be here long...
  14. Considering the nut is brass and is cut to match the break angle, actually nothing could go wrong.
  15. Oh well if that's the case I am sorry - I am just working on info I was given when I bought it. Anyone else have any info to make certain where it was made?
  16. Remarkably similar but I don't believe it's the same bass. The finish on mine is not as translucent as that sadly. That said, that ad is 6 years old so maybe the finish has become less translucent as its aged? Not sure if that is a real thing though lol
  17. Looks like it's made in Japan judging by the tiny sticker on the front of the headstock. I could be mistaken though as I have to squint...
  18. **Further Price Drop to £1775** Up for sale is my 1994 Pedulla MVP 4 string bass. This bass is a high-end, hand-built bass with top quality build and a sound and playability that is second to none. This particular bass also has the rare option of the Bartolini Soapbar pickups! As you can see from the photos, this bass is a players bass and has quite a few marks and a few areas were the finish is missing - but then it is nearly 30 years old! For me, these marks and signs of use are always a good sign of a bass that is always being used because it is just that good! Please note that the bass has been well used, but never abused! There is the normal slight oxidisation showing on the gold hardware. There are no cracks or real damage, just plenty of signs of use. The electronics function perfectly, the frets have plenty of life left in them, the trussrod works perfectly(the action is fantasticly low) and the bass play like a dream in general. The bass has received a complete pro setup and has been thoroughly cleaned: frets polished, fretboard cleaned and oiled and it has brand new Warwick strings fitted. It plays like a dream with a low action,Weight is a very manageable 4.1kg(9.0lbs) Although the finish looks to be a solid red in some photos it is just because the bass is very hard to photograph well. The finish is a high gloss translucent red. Worldwide shipping available - I will only ship using a fully insured and tracked service for everyone’s peace of mind. The bass will be shipped in the original hardcase which will be protected by additional packaging internally and externally. If you have any questions please let me know.
  19. **NOW SOLD** Description Updated to reflect the info provided by helpful BCers below: Up for sale is this beautiful Tune Bass Maniac. This bass was built in 1996 in Kore and is in amazing condition for a 25 year old instrument. If you are looking at this ad you probably already know of the awesome reputation these basses have - you wont do better at this price point, or probably double this amount! It is all original except for the nut - I believe the original nut was also brass but this has been improved to a Warwick brass Just-A-Nut I which is fully adjustable for the best possible setup and playability. The bass has received a complete pro setup and has been thoroughly cleaned: frets polished, fretboard cleaned and oiled and it has brand new Warwick strings fitted. It plays like a dream with a medium-low action, perfect balance, and incredibly light weight of 3.1kg(6.8lbs). It also benefits from a 34" scale length. All of the electronics function perfectly, as does the truss rod and the rest of the hardware. The electronics active(with no passive option) and the controls are volume, pickup blend, treble(boost/cut) and bass(boost/cut) - there is also a trim pot in the control cavity which I believe sets the midrange output. Please note that the finish of the bass changes depending on the light - if you see the last few photos I have used the flash to show this off. Worldwide shipping available - the bass will be shipped in a simple but functional hardcase with additional packaging internally. To save money on shipping costs, I can also remove the neck and carefully pack the body and neck and ship them within a box. If you have any questions please let me know.
