merello Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Additions since original advert: Now fully set up by 7string from Basschat. Dunlop strap locks fitted as the existing ones tended to slip. Bolt neck version. I'm prepared to drop the price to £575 as I want the Geddy Lee! Previously owned by gafbass on here and you are welcome to ask him any sneaky wee questions about this bass. I just don't play it enough! [list] [*]Active passive pull push pot. [*]Pick up sweep knob [*]Hipshot drop D tuner [*]Top notch Ritter gig bag added since purchase - about £35 from from Merchant City Music - that I will throw in if the price shown (or near to it) is attained. [/list] Looking for £600. If I have to keep it I'd be fine with that but my ideal would be a trade down plus cash so I can buy a guitar. Things that I can't get on with include: [list] [*]Vintage 7.5 inch radius fingerboards [*]Fretless [/list] Things that do interest me: [list] [*]Jazz basses - esp black and maple like a Geddy! [*]Lakland - esp maple necked ones [*]ESP - esp maple necks [*]Blondes - esp maple necks....OK! [*]Try me! [/list] Anyway - if nothing comes of it, it's always good to chat on here! Best wishes!

merello Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 Gafbass has confirmed we traded at £625, but for the moment I am sticking to £650 because of the mental Ritter bag.
merello Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 Remember, offers will not be larfed at! Have a stab at it! To paraphrase Kevin Bridges, 'in Glasgow we don't just stab, we repeatedly stab!'

merello Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 Now fully set up by 7String from here with new strings.
Chris2112 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I remember trying one of these in Guitar Guitar for £600 a few years ago. One of the best Warwicks I've played!
Chris2112 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Buying a Warwick at the minute (at least a 4 string one) seems to be a good way to get huge bang for buck! Streamers from £575, Thumbs from around £600 (mine was £590 in mint condition with a wenge neck) and a Buzzard for £700! Crazy!

Other than they are incredibly well put together, sound great and have the fastest and easiest playing neck known to man/woman. What do you like about them?
stoatsbrother Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Why is it all the interesting s/h basses are in Scotland?

TRadford Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I wish this were in Bristol, it would be mine if it were. One small question, do the photos represent the colour acurately or is it slightly lighter "in the wood"?

merello Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Is anything shifting? Times are tough! Offers!
bassmandan Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I'd snap this up if I didn't have two identical ones already (different finishes)..... I'm trying to convince a couple of mates that one of them needs to buy it, that way I can at least be near it!
