Skezza Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Hi I am not a good enough player to be able to play 4 5 and 6 string basses and to swap from one to another at will. I have spent the last few months working with my five string and am ready to use it at gigs. I have there for decided that I will sell all my 4 string bases or swap for 5 stringers. This is the the second I have for sale It is the best jazz bass I have played and I have played a couple of custom shop models. One piece swamp ash body in Antique white One piece birdseye maple neck with EBONY board (you dont get them very often now) Audere preamp 2 band 3 Z modes Nordstrand pickups NJ4SEs Baddass 2 bridge Schaller BMs lightweight tuners Its a whos who of the top bits I bought it from sisterabdullahx who had it made for him. It would cost over £1300 just to buy the bits pay the taxes and import duty then you need a luthier to assemble it The only reason for selling (or swapping) is that I have decided I cannot play 4 and 5 strings its one or the other for me. So I am only using 5 stringers. I bought it for £475 which was a steal and will sell for the same I have no wish to make a profit. If I do not sell I will break it up and sell the bits on the bay where I will get at least what I paid but probably more (look at warmoth stuff on ebay) The action is the lowest I have ever seen on a bass without any fret rattle it plays looks and sounds fantstic. [b]There is a picture in my personal photo [/b]I will put up some others tomorrow I am ideally after a sale on this one but may be tempted by a trade Ive always fancied a 5 string corvette $$ but anything else would be considered also I am particularly after a biggish amplifier (Eden IAmps SWR etc ) minimum 500 watts. Cash either way on a deal. any questions dont hesitate to contact me skez Edited August 9, 2011 by Skezza

Skezza Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 I have decided not to sell the warmoth. It was always a difficult decision as it was the best bass I have ever owned and one of the best I have ever played. A bassist I know has a custom shop fender 5 string and a musicman ray 5 string and the warmoth is at least as good as both of them. I have been thinking about it ever since I put it up for sale and I have just played it for about two hours and decided I have to keep it. Its not the money or a better deal I just want to keep it. Aoplogies for messing you about and wasting your time but I love this guitar too much to see it go. skez
