clauster Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I've dithered for ages about selling this bass. It is a great bass and for 3 1/2 years was my main playing/rehearsal/gigging bass. In my current project my Precision gives me more of the sound needed and beyond the occasional quick play when I give it a wax and polish it's just lived in its gigbag for the last 10 months and I've felt that I should offer it up to a good home where it will get the playing it deserves. The final push came last night when guitard turned up to rehearsal with a 100 Marshall half stack and rendered my Ashdown EB inaudible, so I need to free up funds for a new amp. Anyway, enough preamble. As the title says, it's a proper German made Warwick Corvette Standard, Ash body with passive p/ups and eq. Made and purchased in 2006. Although Warwick have a reputation for making heavy basses this is pretty light in my book and tips the scale at approx 3.6Kg (8lb in old money). Some pics - Full length- Front of body - Back of body - There's the usual playing wear above the pickups and one small shallow scratch at the fifth fret on the side of the fingerboard. I tried to get a pic of the scratch, but it's too shallow to show up on my camera. It's fitted with a JAN III (not glued yet) and I still have the JAN II (intact, the side bits [b]haven't [/b]snapped off this one)- It also comes with the Warwick Owners Folder - and Rockbag - and because I'm so retentive, tags (both bass and bag), strap locks, and a brand new unused tin of wax (there's and almost finished one in the Owners Folder) and brand new Warwick polishin cloth (again, there's a well used one in the folder) - As I said, for three and a half years this was my main bass and it got taken everywhere in the Rockbag, usually slung over one shoulder. Unfortunately this has resulted in a couple of stress tears in the outer fabric of the bag. It doesn't affect the integrity of the bag - If anybody wants anymore pics, just let me know and I'llask Mrs Clauster to take them with her (much better) camera. Now, the important bit - The price: I'd rather it was collected and for this I'd let it go at £330.00. I'm in Tunbridge Wells and happy to travel upto about 20 miles to do a deal. If you're happy to buy unseen and want me to courrier it then £350.00. If you want to arrange your own courrier, fine, let me know how you want it packed and we can have a haggle. I've put for a straight sale, but would consider a trade for An Ashdown ABM (either head or combo) but only if we can do the deal in person. Any questions?

Mzungu71 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I've got the bubinga model slightly older with the brass nut. That's a lot of bass for a very reasonable price, good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camel_landy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If it was a fretless, I would have ripped your arm off... M PS... I've also got the Bubinga version with the brass nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously its a cracking bass at a great price. Lots of potential too by adding active preamps/pups etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
