flaviusm Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Hello friends For sale (I’m open to trades too) a rare, amazing (really) and all original bass, bought few months ago. Was professional refretted two months ago with original Warwick bell brass frets => very low action, VERY easy to play. Why I want to sell it? Shortly, the main reason is a financial one. I have a credit to the bank and I received a very attractive offer from them. So, unfortunately or not, my small bass collection must be diminished. The second reason is my painful back, so this bass must go first. It weighs about 5,3 Kg on my bathroom scale. Some specs: - flame maple body, oil/wax finish - flame maple / bubinga NT neck (with volute 😎), oil/wax finish - wenge fretboard - Warwick “Made in West Germany” machine heads - brass bridge - 20 mm string spacing - brass just-a-nut 1 (if I am right, 1998 was the last year when they put this kind of nut on basses) - Dunlop Straplock Flush Mount - Basslines (Seymour Duncan) pickups - MEC preamp (3 eq, 18 V) - new jack plug - equipped with an almost new Nickel Elixir set (32, 45-105, 130) It has few dings, but nothing “dangerous” and no one on the back of the neck. For an almost 21 years bass (October 1998), is very clean. It comes in a non-original hardcase. The price is 1750€ 1700€ (only in Euro, please), shipping in UE countries included. Detailed pictures on request. Edited April 16, 2019 by flaviusm 5
Hellzero Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Very nice indeed. And Flavius is a very nice person to deal with. His parcels are as good as mine, which means bomb proof. 😉 1

dyerseve Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Lovely bass in great condition! 6 string broadneck is quite a beast! Is the 18v and the pre-amp original? It looks like some of the pots have been switched out as i think the should all be MEC... 1
flaviusm Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) All I know from the previous owner is that everything’s original. And I didn’t change anything. And through preamp the sound is more aggressive . Now you can see how good I am in electronics and Warwick history But I put some pictures with pots and preamp, maybe helps. I hope we solve the mystery. One pot is MEC for sure, but the others are PIHER. I don’t know if they used this kind of pots on Warwicks or have been changed. On the preamp I see “BRUECKE”, meaning BRIDGE, so the preamp is a German one... maybe MEC. Edited March 19, 2019 by flaviusm
flaviusm Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 I searched for info and I can say the preamp is MEC for sure. Now the only question is if those PIHER pots have been changed or were put there in the factory.
Hellzero Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 It must sound terrific, the batteries are made in Belgium. 🤣 1 2
