minty fresh death Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 My LX5 is going up for sale or trade, this has been an exclusive bedroom player since I play mainly with my Sandberg which gives me my live tone down to a tee. It's in perfect condition, not a scratch to it's name. Like all my items, I welcome a try before you buy but i've just sold my Genz Neopack which will hopefully be shipping this weekend when the cheque clears... so i'll be ampless for a few days while I sort a DB750 i'm finishing up a deal on. I will ship it *BUT* I will not hazard a bass like this without a hardcase, my local music shop has a nice second hand hardcase I can have for 30 which i'll purchase if postage is necessery, i'll split the cost 50/50 with the buyer. New this bass is circa 1500 according to the gallery, but Warwick re-sale isnt the greatest... but i'll accept offers around 800 for the time being since I don't need to sell it and it's a bloody nice bass! Trade wise i'm VERY interested in a Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003, if it's a Mapleglo i'll put money with the bass depending on it's condition. I'm also partial to a nice jazz or precision I've worn out the stings, but I will put a new set of Elixers on for a buyer/trade. Thanks If you want anymore pics, just gimme a shout!

joe_bass Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Any sound clips or anything mate? That would be helpful in this case (for me anyway ) Also what year manufacture is it??
lee650 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hi I have exactly the same bass(and same colour) and can highly recommend it, great punchy versatile tone, lots of options, ive used it in many musical situations and always had lots of compliments on the tone. if its like mine photos dont do the AA flamed top justice. Big bump for a great bass at a good price- lee
minty fresh death Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the kinda comments guys!

I'll see if I can find out when it was made tomorrow, but I think it was early 2000? EDIT: I should say that now I do need to sell this now thanks to some prick driving into my car while it was parked and leaving no note, so if it isn't sold by next weekend then it's going on the bay.... so if you're thinking about offering a trade...etc then get in touch before then.

minty fresh death Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 bump anyone know any warwick resource sites for dateing this bass?
joe_bass Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Down on the south coast mate so quite a treck lol. Reason I ask for sound files is I have been looking at this bass but haven't found it anywhere locally to try out and there doesn't seem to be much on the internet to show it off.
lee650 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 The last two digits on the serial no indicate the year of manufacture, theres usually a dash before it so you can easily tell mine has 03 to indicate 2003 also a letter at the beginning indicates the month i,e A = jan B=feb etc hope this helps-lee bump anyone know any warwick resource sites for dateing this bass?

joe_bass Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Cheers for the offer of doing that but I just wouldn't be able to get up anywhere any time soon at all mate.
