Warwick Teambuilt German Idolmaker Bass - SOLD £1600 Brighton East Sussex

[Simonsbass]

Warwick Teambuilt German Idolmaker Bass. Black satin factory relic.

Hardly used. Few months old. Handmade to order in Germany. All documents and kit included. 

Active four string.

These basses take 5 months to make and are order only. Retail around 2700 I believe so grab a bargain.

Was delivered to the guy I acquired it from in April. I have only noodled on it a handful of times ,so still in mint condition. 

It has gold aged hardware, custom aged satin finish, active MEC 2 electronics, passive MEC vintage humbuckers, the neck looks like wenge (not maple as it says in the spec sheet) Mahogany body and comes with factory rockbag, tags, certificate of authenticity, accessory bag, manual and leather pouch. It’s basically brand new as it has hardly been played . I was told It took Warwick about 5 months to make this, I think the only proper full fat German one in the UK.

Controls are volume pickup blend bass and treble with push pull active passive 

The two toggle switches select between series-and parallel-wired humbucking modes and a single-coil

@Simonsbass FYI - The neck definitely isn't wenge, it looks like stained maple as per the spec sheet. The fretboard is wenge, you can see the fretboard wood looks nothing like the neck wood. 

Pretty sure the spec sheet is correct sir!
