Warmoth 5 String Jazz Bass - hipshot ultralights, schaller bridge, korina body etc - new pics added!

[aj5string]

[size=4]Hi all, we are looking to move house, so I would like to free up some cash. Up for sale is this beautiful, Warmoth bodied and Necked 5 string jazz bass. Put together using the best bits available - a beautiful black korina 5 string deluxe body, Goncalo Alves Neck, Hipshot ultralights, Schaller Bridge etc it really is a top quality instrument. It is wired passive, with a stack knob control setup. The neck has to be played to be believed, feels amazing, very smooth and natural - the wood is unfinished, but naturally has a highish oil content so feels finished.[/size]

[size=4]All parts new, except pickups and neck;[/size]

[size=4]Body - Deluxe 5 JBass®, Black Korina - £200[/size]
[size=4]Bridge - Black Schaller roller 5 - £75[/size]
[size=4]Neck - [color=#333333]Deluxe 5 neck with Goncalo Alves shaft, Pau Ferro fingerboard - £220[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#333333]Tuners - Black Hipshot Ultralights - £100[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#333333]Fender Noiseless Pickups - £50[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#333333]Black Stack Knob control plate - £50[/color][/size]

[color=#333333]So all in, owes me approx £700 + the little bits (battery boxes, neck screws, string retainer etc - so another £40ish), also, the import duties that must have come to a good £150 for the various bits, so altogether knocking on £900ish outlaw. The control plate was put together as a custom spec with our very own Kiogon and is top quality. The body has been stained white and finished with Danish oil ontop of that. The bass really speaks for itself and easily plays like instruments that cost £1500/£2000 to buy. For a cash sale, I am looking for around £600, I would also listen to trades to a bass of lower value with at least £300 cash my way.[/color]

[color=#333333]Please see the pics, and ask any questions you may have! Apologies for the pics - if there is interest, I will upload some new ones taken in day light.[/color]

Bump - some interest but nothing firm yet...

[Raslee]

Is this 35" scale?

[aj5string]

Hi, nope is 34", but has the best 'B' I've played, and is really nice and consistent across the strings!

[aj5string]

If you are looking at this and tempted, feel free to shoot offers my way - worst I can do is say no!

Would consider going slightly higher on trade value/lower on cash but would want a minimum of £200. Priority for cash sale tho. Would also be most interested in fretless basses!

Currently not in a position to spend any more, but this is a beautiful bass. Good luck with the sale.

[aj5string]

Thanks - it is lovely, but houses are expensive!

[Dolando]

Are you selling this as a whole bass or are you selling the parts separately?

Thanks.

Bump for Warmoth quality. I built a Warmoth 5 string with swamp ash body and bird's eye maple neck/finger board and the B is tight and massive sounding. Even though they are 34 inch scale, their necks are very stiff which helps the B.

Good luck with the sale. The bass looks great

[bremen]

I have a Warmoth Goncalo Alves 5 string neck very much like that. Very beautiful, the unfinished oily wood feels great.

[aj5string]

Cheers for all the positive words people - it really is a quality instrument. I have a 5 string Fender Jazz that I have had for a very long time and has seen me through a lot that I am considering putting up for sale instead of this.... buy it before I change my mind!

I am selling the whole bass - the cost break down is to give you an idea of outlay.

[aj5string]

Bump - had some interesting offers just holding out to see if I can get something that will really be useful to me! So, hit me with any trade/deal offers you have!

[aj5string]

Bump - want at least £200 cash with trade value to bring upto the initial valuation. Will also listen ti straigh sales (preferred) or basses of lower valuation with more cash.

Also - very willing to listen to offers, so bet in touch!

[aj5string]

Bump - any trade offers welcome!

[aj5string]

Bump

Would be very interested in pics in daylight if you can be bothered. The bass otherwise looks fantastic, but the pink colour is putting me off. Maybe this is the light? is the scale length 34 or 35 inches?

Thanks

[aj5string]

Cool - Like I said, am more than happy to sort some better pics out; dont think the combination of evening light, a phone camera, and a green wall is helping - just wanted to check there was interest first. Will get them done over the weekend.

[UncleMeat]

Nice one. Just seen above that it is also 34"

[aj5string]

Hi - just to say, didnt get a chance to take pics today in decent light. I have dug my camera out, and will get them taken asap! The colour is a warm white with the grain coming through very strongly - not pink at all!

[aj5string]

Bump - will get new pics asap, but am not getting home in the day light atm.

Any questions or trade offers please get in touch!

[WACOJACO]

Look at this bass.... its fantastic.. bump deserved

[aj5string]

HI all,

Here are some pics taken in the (somewhat murky) day light to hopefully give a better idea of the colour. Still taken on a phone - but the camera on it is about as good as my real camera tbh!

[gilmour]

Is this still available? Also I can't see the pics.
