Trades?

[TorVic]

Sorry but no trades - need a cash sale.

[MarkusWarwick]

Dont often like the artist series but thats sweeeeet!!!

[Kev]

To be honest, I don't know how anyone could justify even remotely considering the German P-Nut over this one. Must be £5500 or so for the german version...

[jassbass]

Hi whats the string spacing?thanx

[TorVic]

Hi, the standard string spacing on Warwick 5-strings is 16.5mm with some allowance for widening it further using the 3D 2-piece bridge.

[jassbass]

What width can they go to?thanx

[MarkusWarwick]

Got to say this is a peach.

Usually a stickler for the German mades, but when you consider this has better components, (probably better build quality too) than many basses from USA or whatnot, its a belting deal.

I have to say, id seriously consider this after seeing the youtube clip too. Insane for this price, and if its still around after iv sold mine, i might need to check it.......

[TorVic]

@jazzbass - I measured the current string width at the bridge and it is 18.5mm. It seems to be the maximum width you can set up for all the strings.

I forgot to mention that this bass is now upgraded with a new brass nut: http://www.thomann.de/nl/warwick_just_a_nut_iii_brass_5_str_45.htm

Included in sale price. (the original nut it not available)

That's a beauty and a top basschatter too.

Thanks Rob.

That's really, really nice......wasn't even aware of this version. I'm a bit out of the loop with Warwick, obviously!

[TorVic]

This is one of the nicer non-German basses from Warwick (Made in Korea). For me, the highlights are the following:

* Seymour Duncan SJ5-3N + SMB-5d pickups (would cost around 170GBP (65 + 85) on their own) with preamp bypass

* The alder + maple top body is slightly thicker than the usual Streamers giving the tone more heft.

* The ebony fretboard is unusual on fretted Warwicks but goes very well with the alder and maple.


I own a couple of Streamer Stage basses but I really like this one for a more classic tone - kind of a super jazz, with the coil-tap humbucker in the bridge - the ebony giving it some real zing in the top end.

I'm not usually a fan of Warwicks or burl tops, but that is quite gorgeous

Is this bass still available? Would you consider shipping to New York? P-Nut is my favorite bassist.

Edited December 1, 2014 by davehohf

[TorVic]

Yup, still available. Hopefully, it will sell this month and bring more cheer to someone's holiday season!
