AndyTravis Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Looks like the Chinese made ones from a good few years ago. £200 is probably Optimistic... but fair. They were nice basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Oh right sorry if that's the case. Thought the original German built Rockbasses ones had the one piece bridge and the laterChinese had the 2 piece bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the original German built Rockbasses ones had the one piece bridge and the laterChinese had the 2 piece bridge The German made ones had a 1 piece bridge too, only came in a streamer shape (slab cut rather than curved) and had the wedge/ovankol neck and 1 or 2 MEC humbuckers and 4 or 5 string. Don’t think they ever referred to them as “rockbass” just ‘streamer standard’. the second run of rockbass had the 2 piece bridge and didn’t have ‘rockbass’ up the headstock. the German made ones are worth a look though for sure.

dyerseve Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Every day is a school day! To be fair though I dont think Warwick would have put their name to the Chinese made one's if they were bad so 200 I would have thought would be a reasonable price? Be interested to hear if that's not the case though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only ever had one truss rod snap on me...it was a “rockbass” and they were alright, but not amazing. £200 is probably fair, but I’d rather pay £100 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've had a couple of Rock Basses and they probably weren't for me. The last one did have a fantastic bottom-B note though; I got it like this: And sold it like this: The one on ebay is waiting for an opening bid of £100, but then I'd have to add £14.70 postage to it, which would be probably the max I'd pay.
