**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. Also, the cavity cover is a little fiddly to take off but can be done - then again it is passive so you wont be needing to open it very often! 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.... Details as per Hans-Peter Wilfer: - Bass Fortress I. 4 string Serial number B 000 033 93 Year 1993 Month February Number 000033 one of the really first Fortress Basses !! Neck Wood Wenge Wood Fingerboard Wenge Wood Frets Bronce Warwick Frets Nut Just a Nut Brass Version Neck construction bolt ON Body 2 pcs. solid ash wood Surface Ocean Blue Stain Highpolish Pickups passive MEC PJ pickups Electronic passive MEC Electronic 2 volume control 2 tone control Hardware Chrome hardware made Made in Germany / 08258 Markneukirchen -
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 -
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.

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.

That's the nicest piece of walnut I've ever seen 😍 GLWTS -
sale fell through so back up for sale -
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)

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

Awesome bass! What is the neck material though? Or is it just a finished neck? -

FS / FT Fodera NYC Deluxe 1997 2nd price drop - *SOLD*

That fretboard is next level! -
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. -
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...

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...😝 -

Lost for words! That bubinga is next level incredible! -
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.... -
Thank you very much to @kodiakblair and @briansbrewfor their very informative posts - I have updated my ad accordingly.

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 ....! -
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...

Sold Warwick Streamer jazzman 2004 bass

Stone cold bargain for one of the best sounding Warwick basses! German made quality and super versatile! Shouldn't be here long... -
Rather tasty looking, Dusty Hill style.
dyerseve replied to weepaul's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Considering the nut is brass and is cut to match the break angle, actually nothing could go wrong. -
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?
