[quote name='bassaussie' post='1105080' date='Jan 27 2011, 03:08 PM']That's a beautiful top on the bass. Really nice looking instrument. With the woods you've used, I keep thinking "This is what a Warwick Jazz bass would look like".[/quote] Indeed, sir, that was part of my idea. [quote name='Dodge' post='1105441' date='Jan 27 2011, 08:17 PM']That is gorgeous. I'd love to try it - shame you're not in the UK.[/quote] I know this might be a problem. But if you're suspicious, you can always check my feedback here.

[size=7]SOLD[/size] Hi there. Well, that decission costed me a lot of thinking (and the bass costed lot of money), but funds are depleted and I need to sell something. So here's my Warmoth (not so) jazz bass for sale. [b]Short description:[/b] Body: - Warmoth, jazz shape - alder, three matched pieces - high grade bookmatched bubinga top - custom wound SBS pickups - dual coils in series - back routed cavity - CTS pots, orange drop cap, switchcraft jack socket - fully shielded with copper tape - black Schaller 3D bridge - custom rosewood knobs and veneered back cavity cover - I can inlude either black schaller strap-lock buttons or classic black buttons Neck: - Warmoth, jazz shape - wenge back (amazing!) - bloodwood fretboard (think of red ebony) - stainless steel frets (6230 i.i.r.c.) - custom nut made from buffalo horn - position markers made (probably) from maple - black Gotoh Kluson style tuners and string tree [b]The good:[/b] The bass plays like butter. The bass is stronger in bass and low mids, not so zingy highs. Soud is very full, good especially for fingerstyle and slap. Although you might not know the company, those pickups are fabulous - the guy used to make pickups for companies like Overwater or Neuser, which speaks for itself. Feel of the wenge is amazing, neck is comfortable. Bass stays in tune well. Strung with elixir strings (worn, but still ok). [b]The bad:[/b] There are few minor imperfections - few tiny dings here and there plus one lighter spot on the back (polished spot from soldering iron drop). Rosewood veneer on back cavity cover is chipped a bit around the screws, but there will be one extra unused cover included (unfortunately it is ivory color - ready to be veneered). [b]Price & trade:[/b] Let's start with [s]£600[/s] [s]£580[/s] [s]£570[/s] [s]£560[/s] [s]£550[/s] [s]£540[/s] [b]£530[/b] cash-wise. I will include quality Roadrunner gig bag in this price and I think we can work out some "postage discount" too. I will also listen to your trade offers for cheaper stuff with some money (at least £200) going my way. You can offer almost everything bass-related, starting from cheap fretless through bass pedals to strings and other minor stuff. [b]Pictures:[/b] My camera is probably broken and works oddly, pictures are weird colored. I'll try to take some better in next few days. Here's the gallery: [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/ctirad.kovar/WarmothWengeBubinga#"]http://picasaweb.google.com/ctirad.kovar/W...thWengeBubinga#[/url] This one shows quite authentic colour: Same like the one above, also there's the lighter spot to be seen: "The worst" ding: Detail of rosewood knobs: New horn nut. But weird bluish coloured picture: Whole bass, again the colours are ... just weird:

Sounds good :-) Pretty full sound, not too sharp. Probably the combination of alder and not so punchy wenge. I like it. (Although I may be forced to sell, due to some financial problems going on...)

Pics, finally. My camera is working weird, so almost every picture is piece of crap. :-( [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/ctirad.kovar/WarmothWengeBubinga#"]http://picasaweb.google.com/ctirad.kovar/W...thWengeBubinga#[/url]

Dave recently bought Gotoh bridge from me. He's very nice buyer, good communication all the way through this sale. Also he's very patient... :-) Thanks!

One local player has this (or very similar) Squier in 5 string version, aged white. To be honest, it is one of the worst looking basses I've ever seen live. Sound's weak too. Avoid those. ;-)
