karlfer Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) NOT A LTD 1, 2, OR 3. IF it was it would be £1000 plus I was never going to sell this. Previous owner did about 400 gigs with it, I've done about 150. Somebody was asking for one and decided more than anything, now I have the Warwick, this is simply not going to get used. Lots of little scratches, one major ding. Just over 9lb, 39mm nut. Woofer at neck, P in middle, controls (from neck backwards) woofer vol, woofer tone, P volume. At some stage it has had a Hipshot drop tuner. That's gone but the holes are still in the back of the headstock. Back of the neck is discoloured by sweat. Paint worn through both sides of body where your right arm rests. Sounds from almost double bass to very snarly growly. Unlike the expensive Attitude, no scallops or twin inputs. 5000 made in 1995, most never left Asia, the RRP of these in UK in 1995 was £600. Signed by Billy front and back, although it is fading. £320 collected from Wigan, £340 couriered, sorry, no PAINPal. Cleared cheque, cash on collection or bank transfer only. UK only and no trades on this thanks. Thanks for looking, anybody close enough more than welcome to come and try. My feedback linked in red below.

White Cloud Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Very cool bass, very good guy. Would be all over this but for the fact I am currently seeking a Gibson Thunderbird. Bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Aw shucks fellas, very kind. Below link to a "showcase" video recorded live. Select HD. Mix is somewhat none bass friendly but you can just about hear it. The video also appears to stick somewhat. But you can see what this poor old workhorse has been subjected to over 500 times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXzSj3qLx4&feature=player_embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 So the scallop-y looking black bits are stickers or painted on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 The fret board inlays are the same as on the expensive LTD's, just the top frets are not scalloped. Other differences to the LTD series are no d-tuner, no twin inputs and the pick ups are generic Yamaha, not DiMarzio's. Still extremely powerful. These actually seem to come up less frequently than the more expensive LTD's. Pushing £700 cheaper than most LTD's seem to go for, they are not a bad deal . Of course a buyer could break out the Dremmel, change the pups, route out/put in second input and put on a d-tuner, probably for less than £700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 In response to questions here and elsewhere 1.The video. We are doing a festival later in the year. Of all the bands on, we were the only one without any kind of video. The organisers asked us to do one for their site. 2. The scratchplate is not original. The original was in Aurora Projects when they went bust. This is a quality custom made (Richie Tomson Guitars) replacement. 3. I will consider shipping abroad, however, NO PAINPal, money must clear my bank account first. Buyer must arrange their own courier and insurance. I have shipped to Italy and Poland. Both were a nightmare (one "got lost " at an airport for THREE weeks) so I am reluctant. Everything answered I think. Cheers, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yup, I'm kinda trying to point out at all posts that this is the Special, not one of the 3 LTD series . That's why it's not around £1000.
