Denzel Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) This bass is not being used enough. I'll hate seeing it go but it needs an owner that will make the most of it and I currently have other priorities. This is a 'modern' 2004 model SS2. Afzelia body, Ovankol in the neck, wenge fb, Mec 3band eq and original Mec pickups, drop D tuner on the E. I have replaced the horrible crappy plastic nut with an 'adjustanut 3' in brass. While I was on the warwick web shop site I thought I'd buy a standard E tuner as well. The E tuner is brand new and unmounted. I like my strings well worn in / pretty dead. The strings on it at the moment are round wounds with plenty of tone in them but not 'zingy'. I will include a set of Thomostik flatwounds as well in the sale. Sale also includes two warwick cleaning cloths, two tins of wax and a nice warwick soft bag. Condition of the bass is mint. I can not find a mark on it. Very well looked after. I have owned and played many Warwick bases in the last 10yrs and this truly is the best warwick has to offer. Even played unplugged, each note can be felt in your body! The body of the bass is super comfortable and the neck is very fast. It's joy to play and tonal variety it as good as it gets. (The more I describe it the less I want to sell it!). This bass will get an inspection and set up for its new owner by my local guitar shop so you can be assured it is a tip top bass. **£1550 is now the asking price.** Collection from Ashton, Bristol preferred. Shipping will be at your cost and has to be tracked and insured. I will pack it extremely well. I will post pictures tonight. Edited November 5, 2013 by Denzel

Denzel Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Just inspected it under the light and has a slight nail ding above the neck pickup. Pretty standard on a wick that has been played for a few years. The price is firm and I'm looking for the money only. No trades. Be quick before I change my mind and keep this beauty. Thanks, Pete (Denzel is one of my dogs) :-)
MarkusWarwick Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Superb wood graining. My bass of choice truth be told (using a 97 18v) and had a few.......theyr amazing basses. Anyone considering it should jump to it, theyr too good to miss!
MarkusWarwick Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I will say ( in my experience), you get much "drier" tones from this and its ovangkol neck, whereas my 97 has a wenge neck thats more gutsy and a sustains a little longer. I thoroughly recommend this though and were it not for me losing my job at the end of this month, id buy it myself
Denzel Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 As MarkusWarwick has said above, this is an amazing bass. Also agree on the tone description. It certainly has a different quality to the wenge necks. Although I can not imagine more sustain than this bass can deliver. And that's with a well bedded in string set. Harmonics are also abundant all over the board. No dead notes here!
MarkusWarwick Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 If i hadnt just lost the job, this would be mine!
flippyfloop Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Any idea on the weight please [size=4] [/size]
W11ATO Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 [quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1382225882' post='2249591'] Roughly 9.6kg [/quote]Are you sure??? I'd get your scales checked if I were you :-/
Denzel Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Yep. That weight is about right. The Afzelia body is weighty but the combination of curved back with perfect neck balance makes this bass very comfortable indeed. 😎
Denzel Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Still looking to sell. I will consider serious offers.

CPBass Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Lovely bass. If only 5 string. Have a Warwick fan bump
Denzel Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks dude. Who needs a Low B when you have a super tight E not found on any 5 and has drop D at the flip of a switch? ;-)
Denzel Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Cash only please...Well... I may consider a deal for a Rob Allen Mouse bass if you have one collecting dust! Thanks for all your interest guys.
Denzel Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Happy holidays to all. This lovely SSII is still up for sale @ £1550 OVNO. Any questions please feel free to ask :-)
jayblaze Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Would you consider a trade of a Spector euro five in poplar burl and some cash?
