I'm not saying it isn't but the body doesn't look like a Warmoth in these pics. As I said earlier, it looks more rounded and less slab-like than standard offerings. Maybe new pics can allay this?

Stewart Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 [quote]Warmoth was the company which made me the body[/quote] Easy to prove that - the neck pocket on the body will be clearly marked with their guitar-playing turtle (terrapin, whatever..) logo, and the Word "Warmoth" - get a shot of that and you'll definitely move some of those parts, if not the whole bass.

The seller seems to be going out of his way not to tell us these things, or perhaps it's a marketing ploy, a slow reveal, a bass provenance striptease?

munkonthehill Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 is it also possible to confirm which wizard pups are installed, a reciept or ref No would help and we could contact Andy ourselves,,,,,cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCapitan Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It's a lovely looking bass. I hope the doubters are proved wrong. I'll reserve my judgement until we see the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick449 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Right, just located and put on the reciepts, i can understand why some of you were abit suspicious now! the wizard pickups price was wrong as well as some sources such as the body! I've now found the body to be from WD Music, sorry for the mistakes guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 This is so funny. If this turns out to have pics confirming all the bits are as described I'll give at least... Ooooh £250 for the bass! Sorry not meaning to extract the urine but this [u]could have been[/u] such a simple sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Neck 170 Body 276 Badass 91 Neck Plate 15 Knobs 10 Tuners 60 Total 622 Another thing that doesn't quite add up... I bought a BlackWD Music body around 2 years ago at £180, and since then everything's been gradually increasing in price - sure enough they're now 219.68 - how odd that you managed to pay £276 Nice Mac screenshots BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You are suggesting that the bass cost you £850 - you also profess to believe that it's value is the same thing. I don't think I need to say that I percieve things differently WD Painted bodies currently cost 219.68 inc VAT and they were 180 inc VAT around a couple of years ago Had the body been a Warmoth, I might have offered to buy it from you It isn't, and you don't have anything else I want Have a form of luck with your sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
