timmo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Anyone know anything about them please? There was one for sale here about 3 years ago that I found for £80, but no idea if it sold. It looks nice, but not sure whether to have a bid on it and how much they should fetch.

Annoying Twit Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 There are a number of sold Tanglewood Warriors on ebay, which suggests that the going price is about £70-110. I haven't played one so can't comment on how good they are. If I was looking for one, I'd be prepared to bid an extra £20 for that one because the finish is IMHO so nice. It looks a lot better than the solid coloured finishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks for that. I like the look and finish. As long as it is sounds ok, I would go £80 as it isn`t that far from me to pick it up. It is only to throw into my locker at work for practicing on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBass Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Wouldn't you get it cheap because it's been made upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have owned three. A Warrior (shaped much like that one, but with both horns teh same length and a single MM pickup at the P-bass position), a Warrior II (like that one), and a Warrior III (F-holes, a MM and a Jazz pickup at the neck, inspired a bit in shape by the Warwick Infinity). They were all pretty good. The Warrior was the best. Nice ash (or something that looked like ash) body, great sound. Unfortunately because of the short top horn it had bad neck dive. Very solid. The Warrior II was a bit less inspiring. It was ok. Nice platform for upgrade projects. The Warrior III I liked a lot, and ended up installing a 3-band Glockengklang preamp on it. Unusual bass. I wish I had kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My old Warrior... and the Warrior III before surgery (preamp and black hardware): I can't seem to find one of the Warrior II... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for all the feedback. Unfortunately I put in a bid for a Peavey bass and won it. I placed the bid with 6 hours to go, but the late surge never happened. It was only after i entered the bid that i had serious regrets, cause this one looks nicer.

Nick Riffed Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A bit late in the day I know but for what it's worth I have a Warrior III FH. If you can pick one up for anything under a ton, do it. I wouldn't part with mine for the world. It is a very comfortable bass to play. It doesn't sound too bad either. They are also just that bit different without looking outrageously stupid. Provided it is all straight, you can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
