Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Hello Due to shitty Financial situation, I put on sale my beloved and totally finished custom Rockbass. It's not really a Rockbass anymore, here's the specs: - Body from 2011 $$4 Corvette in Swamp Ash - New Thuya Burl Top made by myself - Neck is now (not on the pictures, sorry, but I can provide them by PM) a Warwick 1995 Corvette full Wengé, with brass JAN and brass frets. (removable trussrod) - All the hardware is new and gold (even the neck screws and bushings) - Passive Electronics Vol/Blend/tone - Delano PC 4 HE/M2 + JC 4 HE/M2 It plays beautifully and sounds like a propre German Warwick, plus the custom side AND the unusual PJ configuration for a corvette. NO TRADES, SALE ONLY, NO DISCOUNT, SHIPPING TO UK INCLUDED. (a soft gigbag will be included) Here's some pics: Edited August 8, 2019 by Marcoelwray
Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Pickups screws are also gold, and pay attention to description please, this isn't the good neck on the pictures!
warwickhunt Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 You do some excellent work; do you have an accurate weight?

Shaggy Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 That is really fab Marc, wish I had the readies to buy!
Newfoundfreedom Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Drool! I had a Warwick Thumb a few years ago and that thing looks better.
binky_bass Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 You could add £1000 to the price of this if it was made by Warwick, and I'm sure the isn't much if any difference! Looks great, £500 is a steal.
Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks to all of you. Indeed it's not genuine Warwick CS so I guess it worth stinky poo from a collector's side. I should put some samples. It's a player, despite the classy Thuya burl top look.
Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 It seems nobody is interested.... Indeed quite expensive for a shitty Rockbass. Such a shame.
BreadBin Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 It looks great, there's not a lot of Rockbass left is there?

Newfoundfreedom Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I'm surprised no one has snapped this up yet. It's a thing of beauty. Maybe a lot of people are in the same boat as me and simply don't have the funds. If I had a spare 500 nicker I'd be on it like a shot.
Henrythe8 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 That is cheap. Does it mean the neck pocket of Rockbasses and Warwick are the same ? and.. Did you receive my mails regarding another project ? 🙂

Did you receive my mails regarding another project ? 🙂 Hi Henry. Yes my bad, I didn't reply yet, very not polite from me. I will. In Warwick shop I just see 1 reference number for both Rockbass and Warwick cavities. To my knowledge, I already used covers on both models, without considering if it's a Rockbass or a Warwick
Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) No one? Slightly negotiable.... Edited July 24, 2019 by Marcoelwray
jonno1981 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I really feel for you. It’s obvious you’ve sunk in loads of time and effort into this project. It really looks great. I think the more recent rockbasses are superb compared to the earlier models. Any sound samples? I’ve never heard those pickups before.
Guest Marcoelwray Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Ans here is the sound sample, the description is in the comments. Cheers
seb Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Seems that the guy's not part of basschat anymore
