I love this bass, but I am so much more comfortable on Warwick 4’s I’m struggling to find a permanent place for this, even though it sounds so much better.  I will get more use out of another Warwick or a 5 so I’m being sensible.

Its in good condition, Lettering fading on neck pickup and couple of small marks on the body that come naturally with use, but overall great and the neck/headstock is pristine.  Comes with original gig bag.

No, I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing as this thing sounds unbelievable, but I prefer the feel of the Thumb and this is too much bass for a backup.  Mehhhh.

Trades, it would be pretty limited, Warwick SSII, possibly Thumb NT5, or a good solid NT 5 string with a tiny neck (Premium Ibanez or similar).
