Shockwave Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Hey guys. I have a Warwick Rockbass Corvette 5 String for sale. It has been stripped and refinished rather badly. The neck is in good condition (Even though in a couple of shots the flash makes it look bad). The paint is pretty thick in some places. Almost looks like a tub of nail varnish has been used on it. However the paint job has not affected the wood underneath. The pickups have alot of wear on them. Bass is passive and may have been active in the past so there is plenty of room in the cavity to install a pre-amp and possible battery. Some of the screws are missing on the bridge and looks like two of them have snapped off into the body. The bridge can hold full tension though. The jack socket is loose as well. The bridge and tuner hardware is in good condition. Truss rod is 100% OK, though bass needs a good setup. Bass will come with a beatup vintage leather style gigbag. REDUCED AGAIN to £105 FIRM picked up from Sutton London, Would prefer not to ship but will if buyer pays for shipping and accepts responsibility. Cheers! Rob.

Happy Jack Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Have you considered filing the nut and then smearing beeswax all over it?
