ianrunci Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) After spending a day trying out every bass under the sun, I can't find anything that looks, sounds or feels better than this. Unless I spend about 3 grand So it is staying with me Edited July 30, 2008 by ianrunci
Ghosts Over Japan Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 now thats a rather tasty bass! good luck with the sale my friend
Alfie Noakes Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 How about a Musicman Sterling 4 string, in translucent teal?

ianrunci Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 Might be looking to sell this now I think and look round for a new bass afterwards. Not really sure what they are going for at the moment, time to trawl Ebay I think and have a look at the prices. "Still open to trades though", although pref someone from oops norf so we can both try out before trading
ianrunci Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Still available, I am dreading putting it on Fleabay but its getting close to that time. Really lovely bass this chaps for anyone who like Warwicks. Not sure what they were new b ut I think it was around the 1200 mark. The new ones can be bought at GAk for 899 but they are definately inferior to these older models
geilerbass Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) These are great basses - I have a '97 model and it plays and sounds amazing. As you're probably aware, the Warwick market is slow. From what I've seen on here, as much as they did retail for £1200+ back in the day, you'd probably be lucky to get £500 for one right now. Such a shame as they really are quality instruments and, as you say, far superior to the current LX range. Edited July 3, 2008 by geilerbass
bassfunk Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 This used to be my bass (not that it's gonna sell any quicker for that fact!). But I can vouch for both the bass and the seller. If I had more than two pennies to rub together I would be incredibly tempted to take this back! Good luck Ian I hope you can find a buyer/trade for this.

I'm not too bothered, it costs the same to buy a new one of these new as it does a fender US Jazz or a stingray. The second hand prices should be about the same but it comes down to how popular they are at the time of the sale. I might wait around a bit cos I think they will eventually bump up in price.

The bands coming on great except the drummer has decided to go on holiday for 6 weeks! just when we're ready to start gigging! Good luck with the sale mate.
ianrunci Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 BUMP for price drop Still looking for possible trades
MB1 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 MB1. Hello Ian! If this had been a Thumb 4BO id be looking for change down the back of the Couch now!

I thought I had it sold at one point but it turned out to be a scammer to be honest I am becoming more reluctant with every gig I do with it to part with it, its just that I really fancy jazz type thingy or a Stingray for a change
ianrunci Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Here's a new dance thats going around - do the bump do the bump
