A piece of music history: The Warwick Alien was designed by renowned German master luthier Martin Seeliger, founder of Lakewood Guitars - a company well-respected for building acoustic guitars of exceptional quality. This bass is part of the first series of 101 pieces to be handcrafted by Lakewood in Germany before production moved to Asia. Exceptional craftsmanship: This acoustic bass is made of selected solid wood and sports even meticulously crafted wooden bindings, this ensures its exceptional resonance and sound quality. The design features elements that were both unique and trendsetting, including the relocated soundhole, a large bridge with metal tailpiece, cutaway, and ergonomic thumb rest, making this bass both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Original Lakewood MK 2 Preamp: Equipped with the AER-designed 18-volt preamp, this bass offers unparalleled tonal control. With separate volume controls for each string, a 3-band EQ, and a master volume, you can tailor your tone to your needs. Just-A-Nut Technology: Thanks to Warwick's Just-A-Nut technology, custom string height adjustment is a breeze. The sound is loud and resonant. Rich and warm with lots of bite. Playing technique alone gives a range of sound from smooth and warm to twangy and biting. Very versatile tones. Acoustically satisfying! Bookmatched solid Spruce top, bookmatched solid Ovankol back. Mahogany neck, Wenge fingerboard. Hand Built in 1993, Serial number #92, this bass comes with a Warwick Rockcase. Bass is currently located in Ireland, but can arrange shipping at buyers expense, (or buyer can arrange their own), have all the necessary cartons and packaging materials. I also have the ability to get the bass over to the UK if that helps. Thanks for looking!

Took this bass in a few weeks ago as part of a trade, have used the original pics and description from the seller, Andy Baxter (www.andybaxterbass.com), definitely a site worth visiting for any vintage basses and amplification. Here we have a 1980 Music Man Sabre bass in excellent condition. White finish with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. Black pickguard, 2 band EQ, Contoured body, 2 humbucking pickups, internal micro powered pre-amp, brightness + phase in/out and pickup selector switches. All original and complete including the case. The body finish is in excellent condition with just a few small scuffs and tiny dings as well as a little buckle rash. The back of the neck and the fretboard are in excellent condition. The headstock is also clean with just a few small scuffs on the top edge. There are 2 small repairs to the pickguard - one through the screw hole nearest the neck joint (G string side) and one by the tip at the lower horn. The body and neck both date to 1980 but only the neck has a visible month which is May. The body month is very hard to make out but think it says Feb? The pots are dated to mid '79. The frets are in great shape with plenty of life left in them and the truss rod is fully operational with plenty of room to move. The neck is straight and plays smoothly. This bass has been fully checked over and set up with a fresh set of Ernie Ball roundwound strings. Serial number: C005479. Weight: 10 lbs / 4.53 kg Nut width: 43 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 20 mm. Bass is in Ireland… shipping can be arranged either by the buyer or myself I have all the necessary shipping cartons and packaging. Price £3,000 plus shipping

Hi, the rig is currently in storage, so can’t get the weights at present.

For Sale…

Can’t recommend these enough, someone will be very happy! Best of luck with the sale.

Nice, graphite necks are scarce to come by! Best of luck with the sale, if it was a 3/1 headstock, I’d have this snapped up!

Yes, the Status neck has a truss rod (see neck heel) so the neck can be adjusted like a standard wood neck. The truss rod counteracts/bends as one in a typical neck does.

I’m not an Arco player, so can’t offer any advice to your question, maybe if there’s another Larkin player on here, they maybe able to assist. Thanks

😂 it’s definitely gonna be one that I’ll regret selling… but it’s just sitting in my music room all neglected, feeling sorry for itself…

Thanks Joe, serious craftsmanship, and a rare EUB too!

Wonderful craftsmanship and sounds amazing too!

I’ll probably regret this one, as the chances of finding another will be slim! Up for sale is my beautiful 1998 Chris Larkin rare Blen EUB. Chris' instruments are always very special, and the woodwork is simply perfect. Chris had been building a very special EUB (Electric Upright Bass), named The Blen in honour to the great Irish bassist James Blennerhassett. Chris took James' upright and copied the exact dimensions of the neck, fingerboard radius, etc., in order to come up with an EUB that would give the double bass player a true feeling of being playing a standard 3/4 acoustic. The instrument utilities a smart body rest that mimics the exact position of a double bass body. The adjustable bridge houses a transparent sounding Highlander pickup that turns through a 2 band EBS preamp. It is easy to dial in a woody tone that sounds remarkably close to the original instrument. The strings are Thiomastick Spirocore Weich (low tension). This bass comes with a padded gig bag with separate pouch for the body rest. construction: set neck body timber: mahogany body overlay: Irish walnut neck: maple and walnut fingerboard: ebony Comes with original padded bag, and upright bass stand. Collection preferred, but willing to ship/ courier at buyers expense and arrangement, have all the necessary packaging etc Only trade I would consider is an ‘83 MM Sabre bass…
