G.D - you're lucky. Warwick basses seem to have a low second hand value compared to market price. Consider this - If you're already spending £450 on a Corvette $$, for another £200 and a bit of careful shopping in the for sale forum here you could get a top of the range Streamer Stage I in mint condition. For another £100-£150 you could get a Thumb SN definitely, and maybe a Thumb NT.
