Custom order - 2007 Handmade in Germany. If you check the Warwick website, you'll find this bass amongst a very select group of instruments in the Custom Shop (photos) section

How the F*** do you come up with these Gems?

Not my bass O'M: Joe's a friend/established local bass player who needs some funds for projects and isn't using the fretless much. If you're interested it's probably best contact Joe direct: [email="[email protected]"][color=#0f72da][email protected][/color][/email] / [color=#000000]07764489289[/color]

... I'm sure the lines could be added Frederik; or you could 'use the Fish' .....

[FrederikVanDuuren]

the fish?

... the dolphins - throughout the f/board (all positions); appreciate that dolphins aren't actually fish, but 'use the dolphin' (Luke) doesn't sound right....

[Oldman]

You'll 'Fin' your way round it, and the scales will be no problem. Did I just post that?

If this was fretted id have bought it in a heartbeat

[CPBass]

Any idea what it would cost to convert it to fretted? Who would be up for the job besides Warwick?

Every one I've seen was fretted. A real beauty regardless of her state of fret

Exactly. No point in having it fretted unless its someone who can do the job full justice.

I think there are a few who have the skill / knowledge to do this (and to make instruments) at least as well as Warwick.......
