Just spotted this. Seems like a crazy bargain if its what it says it is.

False alarm.It's a Rockbass. The maple neck should have given it away ....... Hey ho.
I hope I didn't get anyone else too excited.

Pretty sure that isn't a Rockbass........ Fairly sure Rockbasses have one piece maple necks and don't have the two piece bridge (apart from the new ones) Although weird the headstock isnt photographed.

[Kev]

....now read its only a year old, so its one of the new Rockbasses. Naughty listing!

Yep, it'll be a Rockbass, and he has deliberately not shown the headstock because that would show the Rockbass logo (albeit in small letters). Someone should ask him for a photo of the headstock!

To be completely honest its not a bad price for what it is.

I played a raft of these new ones when Warwick got the first batch done and they were fantastic for the money.
Only real problem is the lack of a curved body.

Hate sh*t like this, I'd be well pissed off if I'd been suckered into that one.

[LemonCello]

Yeah, he knows what he's doing alright - no headstock shot!

Missed the point though buddy, as nice a bass as it may be, he is advertising it as a Warwick, not a Warwick Rockbass

[Jabba_the_gut]

I asked the seller and he said it is a Warwick Rockbass.

[mart]

And he's now changed the listing to make this completely obvious. Respect to him for coming clean, and huge respect to you, Jabba, for getting him to do it.

[throwoff]

Changed it pretty quick, maybe guitard didnt know!

[Kev]

Fair enough, i'll let him off!

[Jabba_the_gut]

I didn't actually ask him to change the listing, he did that himself and fairly quickly. So I'll give him the benefit of doubt.

Be nice if everyone on there would change their listings once someone point out an 'error'!!!

Tis worth asking though, I chased one similar on gumtree, at similar price and picked up the streamer thats my main bass now.
