I've only very recently completed a trade for this marvellous bass but have come to the realisation that 4 strings are just not going to work for me.

This had always been the most desirable and sought after Warwick model for me and whilst I've got great love for it I'm not minded to just leave it hanging on the wall.

Kev, I hope you don't mind I've borrowed the specs and photos from your original post:

So the bass is valued at £1,800 which I understand to be a fair price. Cash sale is fine of course but I'm also very open to trades for basses of comparable value, just not 4 strings please.

If anyone has an identical 5 string version of this bass and would would like to lose a string get in touch!!!

I'm in Norwich and you are welcome to try the bass. I can't overstate how wonderful this is and frankly I'm very disappointed that it's just not going to work out.

Thanks all,

Abd

This was mine before Kev and it left me for exactly the same reason.
It a magnificent example and very keenly priced.

Good luck Andy

Thanks Kev.

Just been playing it this morning and it is wonderful. I have started praying to the god of bass to magic a 5th string onto it (and a 6th perhaps!).

To anyone interested I'd just like to point out that I will not be around so much for the next couple of weeks. I will do my best to reply to pms etc as soon as possible but please don't take offence if there are not the usual prompt ABD coms! Normal service will be resumed later in June!

Cheers
