Josh Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) My King-Bass is getting all my attention and this is the end of its time with me, it's done it's job As per title, it's a Warwick 1999 Thumb Bass BO 4 String, which has been looked after greatly by both me and the previous owner (Chrisdabass), obviously a few barley minor dings, but that's only natural from an 8 year old bass. It carries the classic 'Wick Growl and also holds a great range of tones as well, even a Miller Esque slap tone is easily achievable. The neck is all wenge as opposed to the new more chunky ovangkol necks, it's very very smooth and has a jazz bass like profile to it so it is very fast and very comfortable and you can hear it's influence on the overall when compared to a more recent model. [u][b]Pics: [/b][/u] [u][b]£425 collected. £450 inc. delivery.[/b][/u] Buyer sorts out the collection. Both including a standard hardcase. [/b] Thanks all. Edited July 10, 2008 by Josh
CHRISDABASS Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 bloody hell!! that will not last long at that price!! i reckon it'll be gone by the end of the night!! its a fantastic bass!! i bought it new and it served me extremely well!! that neck is gorgeous!! i was gonna wish you luck with the sale.....but you wont need it mate!! trust me
Dubs Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 That is a f***ing steal at that price…SOMEONE BUY IT BEFORE I DO!! – I’ve already bloody got one!

That is £450 inc delivery. Trust me though Ben, the bass does sound different to the newer model, it's much more brighter and the wenge adds a great deal of warmth to the tone as opposed to the ovangkol neck which is much more dark sounding.

Kev Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) i dont get it, if its £450 + delivery, whats the extra £25 for from collection, since collected its £425?, or am i being daft here Edited July 10, 2008 by BassManKev

Disappointing, but this is not going to be coming to Derby

So really it's £450 alltogether. Thanks Kev. Edit: Made the corrections, hopefully that'll save further confusion Edited July 10, 2008 by Josh

Kev Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 well thats been cleared up nicely! tbf add another £100 to the price and it would still be a fantastic deal, BUMP

And really I just want the bass gone quickly really, and for the price I know someone will get a very good bass. Thanks though Kev Edited July 10, 2008 by Josh

But I've been thinking about getting the secondhand thumb from the bass centre for £499 and have resisted, but couldn't resist this one here.
