warwickhunt Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've had a bit of an epifini (no not a cab or an amp) and I'm going to clear out a few basses. Prices of Warwicks are silly at the moment but I'm not about to start playing 'bid down bass' and give them away for less than equivalent basses in the market today. If you fancy anything in the photos PM me an offer and I'll see where we stand in a week or so. I'll list full details and spec of the basses when I get the chance but none of my basses are later than '91 and NONE have any issues, other than the Infinette on the left of the pic that has a hairline 'crack' near the headstock that has been there since I bought it in '92 (coincidentally that has been my main gigging bass for the last 16 years). Streamers Infinettes and Dolphin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'think' that subconsciously I've been collecting Warwicks for 20 years to offset the fact that I was never going to be famous and 'maybe' having more and better basses than other people made me a better bass player... that's just me thinking out loud I haven't truly analysed things and I don't genuinely think I was trying to be better by having the best but you get the idea. I've also realised that as a collection some of these basses in any given year are getting restrung and new batteries (they get a fresh battery each Christmas... ah bless) even though I've only played them a couple of hours (some just in the house). Daft isn't it! I'll analyse why I've reached this decision when I have time to think about it properly. Oh and every now and again I do daft stuff However I'll always have a hankering to try something different! BTW having no children helps when you are amassing basses... maybe you could read more into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infinity is a dream bass for me, despite some of the negativity towards Warwick's ( I was the same before i got the dolphin ) they really are amazing basses. in another league craftsmanship wise. Mine won't be going anywhere soon, i love the plug and play tone, what could i trade it for? a generic fender copy? Warwick the end of GAS Mr hunt please don't sell them all, hang on to the best unless your giving up playing you will come back to them. If you need it i can look after an infinity for you, no charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
