kurcatovium Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) [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: Edited February 14, 2011 by kurcatovium
bassaussie Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 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".
Dodge Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 That is gorgeous. I'd love to try it - shame you're not in the UK.

But if you're suspicious, you can always check my feedback here.

clauster Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 As I said on your build thread that is one stunning bass (and I'm not generally a fan of Jazzes). Someone is going to an absolute bargain here - top notch parts, beautifully finished and for a great price too.
SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Wow, that is a seriously wonderful looking bass! Sure it sounds killer too Shame about my lack of funds really, otherwise I'd have this off you in a flash!
kurcatovium Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Well, I need to shift this, so price drop to [b]£560[/b]. If I'm asking still too much, correct me with your suggested price through PM. Thanks!
kurcatovium Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Third page again and not even single reply? Really?

Really?[/quote] Unbelievable! Very nice Warmoth. There wasn't too much interest in my Warmoth Jazz, either. I think everyone is just skint. Good luck with the sale.
kurcatovium Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 That was white jazz if I remember correctly. Very nic bass too. Seems Warmoths are not the stuff people want...

kurcatovium Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Sure, we can always talk about taking the bass apart... if there's some interest of course.
kurcatovium Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 One helpful basschatter send me those corrected pictures in PM. Thanks! Anyway I'll try to get set of new pics as soon as possible.

kurcatovium Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 OK, I'll probably start new thread for parts. Meanwhile let's say £540 for the whole bass.
kurcatovium Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Potential buyer have not responded for four days so I presume he's not interested any more. How about another price drop to [b]£530[/b]. If you don't need gigbag I'll happily keep it and subtract another £20 from price.

kurcatovium Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 [size=5]Bass is sold, sorry guys![/size]
