Just wondering: Are those black spots on the neck dirt that has gone into the wood?

I thought those maple necks were finished with a clear lacquer, thus making dirt removal easy (I'm thinking of my jazz).

hi BaL
yes, i think it's dirt in the wood, but the finish looks ok, so I'm not sure how that happened... maybe the fingerboard has been re-laquered in the past - i have no idea. This bass has previously been owned by a couple of other forum members, so if they know, they might chime in

cheers

Thanks for the reply G. Too bad of the email failure yesterday. Stunning bass, have no other words.

Not quite sure myself- It was like this when I got it ;D

Just a quick bump to say this is still available, but cash on collection (or suitable mutually convenient meeting place) as I dont currently have time to sort out packaging and posting etc. Also, it would be my preference to sell to someone who can try before they buy.
It's in at the Bass Center getting a fret dress/full set up at the moment, and I'll have it back at the end of the week. So I'll include that in the price of £1100 and a virtually new Pro-tec semi-hard case.
I'm in no hurry to sell, so if it doesn't shift at that price, I'll probably keep it. And when I get it back on Friday, playing like a dream, I might decide to keep it anyway
Anyway, there you have it. Still open to offers on interesting trades too. Especially: NS 5 string upright, Pedulla Pentabuzz or WHY? (5strings only though)

cheers

bump, still available. £70 recently spent on a full set up and fret stone at the Bass Center. Chris did a lovely job too...

That's lovely... I'd really like the 4-string version, like Tal Wilkenfeld's instrument.

Is this Bass still up for Sale?

Would you consider a trade for a Warwick 2006 "Dirty Blonde" Ltd Edition Thumb (5 string version)?

Thanks

sorry mate, a sale is agreed/pending... so unless the sale goes belly up, it's pretty much sold.
