As I have just purchased Old Horse Murphy's Fretless Precision I am putting my Corvette Standard Fretless up for sale. This bass is in very good condition as you can see from the photographs. The bass is a German made Corvette Standard Fretless with the active/passive EQ. Here's the details from the Warwick website:- Serial Number: M 121049 05 Date: 09/02/2006 Corvette Standard Ocean Blue Oil Finish Swamp Ash Body Ovangkol Neck The website doesn't say what the fingerboard is made of but I'm certain that it is ebony. There is some very slight 'worming' high up on the fingerboard which I inherited when I got the bass. It is hardly noticeable, and does not effect the playability of the bass, but I feel I should mention this for the sake of transparency. There are also three very small scuff marks which are very much on the surface. The Bass is fitted with schaller straplock buttons. I will also include the original Warwick straplock buttons although I do not have the Warwick strap part of the locks. The bass will be shipped in a serviceable (but not very attractive) hard case. I am looking for £350 which inlcudes p&p to the UK.

The Streamer is now sold. Thanks to all who showed interest.

A wee bump

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1336427130' post='1645572'] Wow, Hutton, very shocked to see this. That was until I read what you are after which is exactly what I am after also I am considering a Fender Tony Franklin in black as fretless Precisions are very hard to find and this is the only one Fender seem to be making at the moment. I could never part with my LX4 and is just sounds and plays so good which makes it difficult and I may have to part with my Streamer Jazzman fretless Good luck with the search and let me know if you find one. [/quote] Yeah I'm surprised myself. I have got into fretless playing and as I'm really a Precision guy a decision had to be made. The LX4 is a cracking bass but it's the last one in so it's got to be the first one out. I do have the Corvette fretless which is great but a Precision would be right up my street. I have also looked at the Tony Franklin and it does seem to be the way to go. All I need is for someone to take the LX4 off my hands.

I think you should do some hankering Kev.

I have for sale a 2009 Warwick Streamer LX4. I have only had the bass for a couple of weeks but I know that it is not for me. The bass is in unmarked condition and is really like new. It has also been waxed regularly since new. The body is a beautiful flamed and spalted maple which Warwick thought nice enough to feature in their own website in the gallery pictures of Streamer LX4s. It has just had a pro setup and is therefore nicely playable. I will ship the bass in a new crocodile skin hardcase which in turn will be packed in a cardboard container. Details are as follows:- Warwick Streamer LX4 21st April 09 Flamed Maple AAA body Natural Oil Finish Ovangkol Neck Chrome Hardware I am looking for £850 (inc. shipping). I know it's a long shot but if anyone has a Fender USA Unlined Fretless Precision then I would be interested to talk about a possible trade. I have been asked to include pics of the case. So here it is:-

I found out what a redeemer circuit is, it sounds like a worthwhile upgrade. Just need to know if you would consider trades.

Could you explain what a Redeemer circuit is. Also, is this sale only or would you consider trades.

I'm reading it at the moment. Good book and at this price you're making a big saving.

No problem James. The bass is well worth considering if you're interested.

[quote name='James Stathatos' timestamp='1336062985' post='1640390'] Hi, I know this is an old topic, though... This bass seems to be on sale on ebay at the moment. It has the same nick just below the input jack. I'm guessing its not the original owner as the person selling it is living in Oldham Greater Manchester. Does any one know the sale history? If it is the same bass, the current owner must have had it just a couple of months... Cheers, James [/quote] If you look elsewhere on the for sale forum you will see that the current owner is trying to trade the DJ4. I traded the bass with the current owner who also has the bass available on ebay. There is nothing unusual about that. There is also nothing unusual that the current owner has only had the bass a few months. If you don't mind me saying this is a rather strange way to introduce yourself to basschat. Why do you feel it necessary to point all this out by resurrecting this old thread? Old for sale threads often confuse the matter and are better left in the archives.

Sorry the DJ4 didn't work out for you. However, if a bass isn't getting played then it's only sensible to move it on. I just want to say that the DJ4 is a cracker and Muzz is a good guy to deal with.

I suppose people are just being cautious after the 'Awesome' P Bass thread by the same seller.

[quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1335953904' post='1638448'] Can you give an idea of what value you are placing on the Lakland as it will help those who are considering trade options. [/quote] At the risk of repeating myself........

Can you give an idea of what value you are placing on the Lakland as it will help those who are considering trade options.

Has the bass been sold. I'm not seeing anything on the link. Chandlers only appear to have two Fender basses for sale neither of which is an 83 Jazz.

I wonder if we should have a forum where approximate values can be discussed. It would perhaps help potential sellers to realistically value their instruments and thus avoid threads like this one. It just seems to me that immaculate basses going for 50% of their original value is not a good thing when you are selling in hard economic times. I'm sure that others will have different opinions. I am honestly not trying to hijack this thread and wish the seller of this beautiful looking Streamer all the very best in the sale.

So sorry to hear that you're having to sell the ACG Mark. I well remember when you got the bass and how pleased you were with it. I was simply amazed by it and admired you for being able to play it! I can certainly vouch for the outstanding quality of this unique bass and also for the fact that Mark is a thorough gent and all round good guy.
