shantijoe Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Hello All Here is my German 2004 Warwick Corvette Bubinga Fretless Passive 4 String in excellent condition. This is an 'Oil Finish' model and here are some details though you can check it out on the Warwick website under 'discontined German made Corvette Standard'. [list] [*]Chrome hardware/ Just-A-Nut III/ Weight 4,6 kg/ 2x Jazz style MEC dynamaic correction passive 2-way p/ups/ [*]Bubinga body/ Ovangkol neck with Ebony F/Board/ Scale length: 34" (long scale) [*]I include the Warrenty Card, Truss Rod, and ID tag.(see pics) [*]Any other questions I'll do my best to answer! I've only used this for recording and get a lovely balanced (slightly compressed) sound from this combination of woods and pick-ups. Its been so simple to record. I'm pricing it low at these tough times for a cash sale... [*]I live in rural N. Wales but could deliver on my occasional visits to Birmingham (sometimes London too) in which case a Warwick gig bag is included. For Postal/ Courier delivery I'd use a hard case so total delivery would be £30 extra. You can pick it up if you'd like to visit Denbighshire! [*]Here are some pictures which show it's current condition: Strung with Warwick Black Label roundwounds so slight string rash under E & A at 1st position. Otherwise a modest 9 out of 10 for a 2004 beauty.... [/list] Edited November 10, 2012 by shantijoe
Ashwood1985 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Lovely. If I hadn't bought my '89ish fact. FL SR1000 a couple months back I'd be jumping all over this. My pair of wicks would most definately had a sibling arriving as like most Warwick owners I feel a bit feverish with the warwick bug! Alas. Unless your interested in a trade for another fretless? Very slim neck of course being an SR. Edited August 9, 2012 by Ashwood1985
shantijoe Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 Hiya sorry about the timing! As mentioned I can't afford to trade so it's priced for cash only, thanks for looking, joe
shantijoe Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Hi all this is a little bump for those who 'feel no fret' and the sound of ebony under under the fingers... all the best joe
shantijoe Posted August 18, 2012 Author Posted August 18, 2012 Hello all a little weekend bump for Warwick- how about it?! all the best, joe
shantijoe Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Hiya I was asked the brand of the hard case but am sorry to say I can't find a name on it (it came with a bass purchase here). In design it's just like the Fenders if this helps... all the best, joe
shantijoe Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Hi all I had a PM asking how the neck width compared to a Fender Jazz. Though Warwicks varied through the decade this one is closer to a 'C' profile than many Warwicks but not as slim as a Fender Jazz FYI, all the best, joe
shantijoe Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 Hiya a weekend bump for a fine fretless folks! all the best, joe
shantijoe Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 Hi all I just got a PM about this which reminds me I need to let you know: I'll be out of the country for a month from Sept. 6th so I'm sorry if I can't reply to you after then. I wonder if I can put this sale on hold..? best wishes, joe
shantijoe Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Hello all I was just let down by a buyer after taking this to London for him- he didn't turn up! Not the usual BC behaviour so this is back up for sale. Any questions welcome, joe
shantijoe Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 the pure sound of ebony under your fingers for effortless vibrato! A real fretless 'mmmah' from this beauty...
Dolando Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Looks great, not sure about a fretless with no lines. What markers does it have on the side of the neck?
shantijoe Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Hello as with all Warwick fretless basses this has side markers. Not all 'fret positions' but (on the E String): F, G, A, B, C#, E octave. (through 2 octaves). This gives a lot of help guiding intonation as those of us who've used unmarked necks can testify! best wishes, joe
Jacqueslemac Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I have one of these. When you're playing it I found I didn't notice the lack of fret lines - mainly because you can't actually see the front of the fingerboard anyway. The side fret markers are more than adequate. And the lack of fret lines means it looks dead sexy from the front. Here's mine (which looks exactly the same):
Dolando Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the info. I am very tempted. Would go nicely with my 1997 corvette standard ash... Need to have a think.
shantijoe Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 PMs replied to but this master of Mwwwa is stil looking for a new home... cheers, joe
blitz Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Bought the ash version of this off the site a few months ago. Very happy and that's a nice price - surprised it's still here! As for lack of lines - looks nicer and after a bit of practice you don't notice anymore cause as mentioned - you're not looking at the front. Part of the fun of learning fretless is the practice anyway, so whoever gets this will be happy I'm sure! Good luck with the sale.
shantijoe Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Hi Blitz thanks for the feedback- they are great basses but things seem slow at the moment- 'money's too tight to mention'! all the best joe
shantijoe Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Yes, this is still available, cheers, joe
shantijoe Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 A little bump to help you find this fine fretless... joe
Sambrook Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Hi there, any more info possible on the neck? I really need a chunky old fashioned precision type neck. Is yours anywhere in that region? I tried a Warwick Thumb in the Bass Gallery last year, and was very impressed. Thanks, Sean
shantijoe Posted October 27, 2012 Author Posted October 27, 2012 "I really need a chunky old fashioned precision type neck" Hi Sean I've had a few Precisions over the years and (as you know?) they vary a lot. This is like the 'C' shaped Precision neck as opposed to the 'U' shape but you'd need to try it to be sure, all the best, joe
