Details: - Ebony fingerboard with marked lines - Bolt on neck - Ebony nut - Ash body - Bartolini J/J pickups - Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (volume, balance, bass, mid and treble) - Wooden ramp between pick ups - Wood knobs (same as the ramp) - Golden hardware The price is € 800 (case included) + shipping costs.

Oriol Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Thanks! And the bass sounds cool. No trades, but price is negotiable 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriol Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 The bass is located in Barcelona (Spain) and can be shipped but preferably within Europe (always at buyers expense, including possible taxes and customs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriol Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Price lowered at 800 € with case included (that means more or less 700 £ if you pay in british pounds). Since I'm in Barcelona I'd like to be paid in euros 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Soul Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi Oriol What year is the bass and where was it manufactured (I am assuming it’s German?) Can you advise of shipping costs to Manchester, England? Oh and is the wooden ramp screwed in? Would it leave holes if it was removed? Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in perfect condition (9,5 over 10)! The ramp is not screwed (it's attached with double-sided adhesive), so it can be removed easily. For shipping cost, I'm checking and it seems it could be under 100 € (maybe around 70 or 80€) for a standard shipping. If you're really interested I can check it with more accuracy.

Dirty Soul Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks for the info! I’ll think it over and let you know for sure. I was ideally seeking an unlined but this bass could maybe change my mind 🤔 I’m also a bit hesitant/unsure about shipping. I’ll come back to you in the next day or so. Thanks! Pete.

Oriol Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yes, I understand. I'd prefer that somebody pick the bass in Barcelona (more secure and cheaper 😉). anyway, some years ago I've sold another Warwick and shipped to Netherlands (with content insured and tracking number) with no problem. About the bass: I've played unlined fretless basses previously and I seriously recommend lined fretless (unless you're Alain Caron). It's really helpful and makes you sound better quickly on fretless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvito Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 hello is there sound without battery, a passive mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriol Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Volvito said: hello is there sound without battery, a passive mode? No, just active. But the Aguilar OBP3 preamp can be turned into passive mode if you add a switch (or a push/pull) and bypass the active preamp. It's easy (at least for your luthier) since there's the diagrams on the Aguilar web page: http://www.aguilaramp.com/wp-content/uploads/wiring-diagram-obp-3-v2.pdf My luthier did it for 50 € on one of my basses (which have the same Aguilar preamp), so if you like passive tone it could be done easily.

Oriol Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 £620 (that's 700 € more or less) for a fretless with ebony board, Aguilar and Bartolini is simply a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriol Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Still on sale! An unbeatable price for this fretless. You can pick it up in Barcelona or I could ship it within Europe. Sorry for the people who live abroad (USA for example) but I don't feel comfortable with such a long trip and a lack of control (even if there's a tracking number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
