Beautiful bass! :gas:
Already had it on my radar when it was for sale last time, I really wish I had the funds...
Hmm, maybe I could offer my lovely Warwick Thumb 4 from 89 in high-gloss-see-through black...
Anyway, free bump!

I've just done a deal with Alex and a straighter dealing guy you'd have trouble finding. Don't let the fact that he is in Latvia put you off buying this bass or doing a deal with him, he is as sound as a pound! ;)

Thanks, John! And thanks so much, Antonio, this is absolutely correct! Viz Maurogiovanni is a monster bass player!!!
Moreover, if to trust the information provided in the correspondence with JensWest, who has been interested in this bass and was checking it with Enrico from Wood & Tronics, this Zoid used to belong to Viz. Here is a little excerpt from what Jens has written (I hope this is okay with you, Jens, that I publish it):

[b][i]VM had your bass built with Q-tuner pickups in it. They were changed on VM's demand to Kent Armstrong pu's.

VM traded your bass in for a new VM sign.[/i][/b]


One of the previous owners has mentioned in the post that the bass was completely refinished when traded.
Well, I can't prove it, and it is not the major thing about this bass, but being a huge fan of Viz, it is quite pleasant to know :)
