Evil Undead Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) [size=6][color=#ff0000][u]Firstly - Warwick Corvette $$ in Nirvana black.[/u][/color][/size] I know, I know. I said I'd never sell or trade this bass again - but for all of my silly sentimental attachments, I don't know if it's "the one" for me. That said, it really is a great bass. Looks awesome, very versatile tones, feels and plays great. As I'm sure anyone who is reading this knows, it's a beast. Made in Germany in 2008. I've owned it since April 2010, apart from the month when it lived with Flex! But we haven't been jelling for a while, and it's time I stopped being so dumb and searched for something that would suit me more. There are some very minor cosmetic blemishes but nothing to write home about. I can send more pictures. The electronics are in good working order. Only minor issue is that the truss rod doesn't seem to want to move - I was going to get it looked at before I moved it on, but as there's the perfect amount of relief in the neck and it doesn't seem to budge, I decided not to. It plays beautifully, tiny amount of relief, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?! It's right to mention it though. EDIT - out of interest I asked a local luthier what would be required to sort that out if it needed in in the future - he said it's just a matter of loosening the rod, clamping the neck for a week and tightening it back up. £30 he said. But, as I mentioned, the bass plays fantastically. Come try it out and see Ash body, ovangkol neck and wenge fretboard. Black hardware, bell brass frets. £[s]500[/s] [s] £450[/s] SOLD Only trade considered is a PX For an active DI [size=6][color=#ff0000][u]Second - Ibanez Premium SR1300[/u][/color][/size] I just bought this last week as I've been after a lighter bass. But, after playing the Warwick I'm having trouble getting used to the very slim neck! I'd like £500 (paid £550 last week) and trade would be for a Precision bass - as above, maple neck, around 8.5lbs or under.

I can meet at train stations within a couple of hundred miles of here as long as my train fare is paid in advance (no transport at the moment). Testing is very welcome, just drop me a message. Again, for sale, or PX for an active DI Edited May 23, 2012 by Evil Undead
Evil Undead Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) [quote name='fender73' timestamp='1334348892' post='1615129'] what is it with you and truss rods?? [/quote] I genuinely don't know! I think I'm either just too scared to break them or I'm an epic weakling! Probably a bit of both. The neck hasn't moved on this bass since I bought it in 2010 though.

Kriss Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Hi mate would a fender aerodyne be of interest at all. It's less than six months old and hasn't been gigged. I appreciate it's not a five string but is a great bass. I had a double buck a few years ago and stupidly traded it in and I've been sad ever since
Prime_BASS Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 5 string under 8.5lbs? Thats going to be hard.

Although my old Ibby was 7.3lbs and I wish I hadn't let it go to be honest.
megallica Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I used to own one of these and was very happy with the sounds and playability of the bass If you're looking for a lightweight five string you should maybe consider a Schecter?

sykilz Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 That last picture is just goooooooooooooorgeos, type bump,I do like a corvette.
chuck_stones Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Really great basses, tonnes of tone and (at least for me) very, very playable; that Ovangkol neck is sublime! If I had any money I'd definitely consider getting one of these again. Bump for a nice bass!

Great jazz nut width too. Just a bit too chunky front to back for me and my tiny woman hands.

Kjir Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Why is it missing that 5th string? I would take it right away, it's just beautiful!
Evil Undead Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 I know... if only it had a slimmer neck. I should just get a new neck made for it, but I can't afford that especially with the vet bills I've just had to cough up for
stjimmy76 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Hi, I'm looking for a warwick 4 string but wont have any cash for another 10 days, really wanted a thumb bo, but those babys aren't cheap are they. I really just want a bass for slapping. atm I have a lovely jazz aerodyne strung with light gauge strings (30-90) which is great for a bit of slap (Mark King Mr Pink/love games etc..), but I know warwicks are much better for a bit of slapitty slap!
Evil Undead Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 [quote name='Kriss' timestamp='1336501816' post='1646574'] Precision lyte? [/quote] Ideally after a nice MIA or MIJ
