KennysFord Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Hi Folks, Tough one for me this.... Since getting my Warwick this little beauty hasn't left the house so seeing as cash is tight and I'm in need of some more cab options It is with much regret and through gritted teeth that this one is going up for sale or trade. Not too sure how many of these Basses are in the country but this was the first one to come in direct from Willows in South Korea. I spoke to the maker personally to spec it and in his words he would make it very special as it's the first one into the UK. Well, he was true to his word.... The Bass is ( or should I say was) absolutely flawless and the work on it is absolutely top notch. It's as mint as the day I got it except for one tiny ding that I'll picture.... Bugger !! It's a two piece Alder Body in aged white (more cream really) with a quarter sawn Maple neck, 21 Medium Fret Rosewood Board with Pearl Block Inlays and Cream Binding. The frets are finished of to perfection as is the binding, the pocket fit is first class. The action is nice and low and it plays and sounds great. I've had numerous comments and compliment from every one who's had a fiddle with it. I spent £100 on a full set up and the luthier from Bolton (name escapes me atm ) who did the work said it was the nicest Jazz Bass he's seen. The Body is slightly smaller through the waist than a Fender Jazz so it's very comfy and I've since upgraded the Bridge and Tuners to Hipshot Items. It'll come with it's original gig bag and be well packed for shipping. The price is a very firm £350 collected for a sale plus £20 to ship first class fully insured but I'm looking for trade options as well with decent quality cabs, 10's preferably, not Basses please. This really is a superb quality Instrument that belies it's price and I will guarantee you would be hard pressed to find something as good for this money.
