Alfie Noakes Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Tough times, so my beloved Warwick Dolphin SN has to go. Bought on here from Stonecoldbass aka Craig nearly two years ago, and I hope he doesn't mind me pinching his words, but they were spot on: "As far as I can tell Warwick are no longer manufacturing these basses and they are only available as a custom shop option making these a bit more sought after now. The playability on this instrument is fantastic, with a great feeling neck and smooth action. The tone is equally pleasing with growly mids, subby lows and smooth highs. The bass can be operated in both active and passive modes and has a 'coil tap' option which splits the bridge humbucker enabling it to act like a jazz bass with two J pups. I've used it on various sessions and it was also my main bass when I did cruise ship work in the caribbean and it has always stepped up to the mark. The only issue with the bass is a small piece of plastic missing from the nut, but this has no effect on the playability of the bass. I really love this bass and only reason I'm selling is I'm moving to Australia for a year!" The original ad with pics is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/84408-warwick-dolphin-sn-4-string-new-pics-added/page__hl__dolphin"]here[/url]. It's currently strung with flats, and is a fabulous bass in great condition. It comes with a soft'ish hard'ish (fabric) case. I'm in Birmingham and can also sometimes deliver to Oxford or London. You're more than welcome to try before you buy, if you're local. Cost £750, but I'll now listen to any reasonable cash offers (£650 anyone?) as I have to; read below: New circumstances; a lodger of mine did a daylight flit on Monday, owing me a pile of money. I foolishly trusted him when he said he'd pay me as soon as his first pay cheque cleared, and because I kind of knew him, I treated him with kindness and decency. Wasn't I a mug? Isn't he a b@st@rd? Still, I'm desperate to sell so make me a (fair) offer please, and one of the good folk on here will be getting a bargain. Edited May 28, 2012 by Alfie Noakes
TheGreek Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I had one of these - Afzelia is a lovely timber - just glows when polished - good luck with the sale..
Alfie Noakes Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks to The Greek. And you're right, it looks gorgeous polished.
ziggydolphinboy Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 i had a five string one of these with a peizo in it lovely bass bump for a dolpin
TheGreek Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Still here?? The only thing I didn't like about mine was that it had 26 frets...absolutely top bass otherwise...
Davewick Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I'm not really sure, but... a trade with a Sterling?
Alfie Noakes Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Hmmm. I'm not sure either. Any Sterling pictures or words you can send me? You can mail them to me at: [email protected]
pudie Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Gibson Sg bass here to trade if you're interested, immaculate condition with case.
Alfie Noakes Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 A lovely SG indeed, but it has to be a 'ray for me. Sorry, and good luck with your sale/trade.
Alfie Noakes Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Dolphin.....stingray......bass.......a very fishy bump indeed.

Davewick Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I've send you an email with the photos of the Sterling, haven't receive it?
Alfie Noakes Posted April 14, 2012 Author Posted April 14, 2012 Sorry Davewick, I have, only it took untll today to get my laptop working to be able to open the .rar file. The iPad really didn't like the file at all. Yup, lovely looking Sterling.........but not for me. Thanks for the interest.
