[color=#FF0000]TRADED :D [/color]Lefty, Lefthanded Warwick Corvette, French Violet, 2004. Formerly owned by Throwoff and Leftyhook. This is a nice bass, better than a 2008 model I had but that may have been because that was passive, tho the neck is slightly thicker. Swamp ash body, Ovangkol neck with wenge fretboard Active tone control passive MEC pickups. It's had a set up and plays well and the warwick strings are fairly new. It's a fairly unique colour as far as I've seen on this forum. See pics. £400 plus £20 for a courier insured. Comes in Warwick gig bag. :gas:

Hi all,
I have a CIJ olympic white 60s RI Jazz bass Lefty for trade, its a 1999 model i think, its in excellent condition although the lady i bought it from said it has a small scratch on the back of one of the horns but i can't find it.. this bass plays lovely, and as you prob' know they're on a par with the USA models.
i would much prefer to trade this rather than sell it, i would be looking for a Jap Precision or maybe a Warwick??.
let me know what you have chaps
thanks for looking,
Paul

Lovely finish. And any colour on a Corvette is rare, 9 out of 10 just have a natural oil finish. This one looks a lot more desireable!

This bass is made by a firm called Schwalbe, 4 string fretless

www.[b]schwalbe[/b]-[b]bass[/b].de/

Body = Ovangkol, maple , walnut top and back
Neck = Maple and walnut
Semour duncan quarter pounders 2 x volume 1x tone passive.

This really is a top notch bass that sounds exactly how a fretless should with the sliver of maple for the fret markers.


For sale for £800 or trade for a good quality fretted 4 or 5.

If anyone is interested, I've got a Yamaha TRB1005L for sale.

Strings have been changed and the bass has been checked and professionnally set up since the pictures. Very well set up.
Thin neck, very lightweight bass.
No major dent, some light ones, see pics here :

I'm also interested in an exchange, so feel free to ask.

Looks like someone is receiving his new '57 P RI today :)

I certainly did! Cheers LeftyJ.

Its as nice as I had hoped. Its going to Glasgow with me tomorrow to see if it can have a fender gold anodised pickguard converted and fitted.
Ive spoken to Wolf of 'wolfsmusicweekly' who has a fine collection of lefty fender basses and he has done this on several basses so it might be a 'goer'.
Failing this I hope to make a copy of the current plastic control plate in metal.
I will post my progress and may try for both options as both seem feasible at the moment. Just a matter of cost.

There's a lefty Rickenbacker 4003 on Gumtree for only 799 Pounds. Looks like a 2008 model, one of the last lefties. Has the full width fingerboard inlays.

No, all the others cost double what they should be ;)
Don't get me wrong, not trying to diss Rickenbacker here. I had a 2008 mapleglo 4003 that I loved. But they're completely hyped! And their so called 'rarity' (there's usually one or two on eBay at any given time) has driven the prices up to crazy levels, especially when Rickenbacker announced they would stop producing lefties for a while. Just rediculous! I bought mine brand new for 1400 Pounds and a couple of months later I could easily have sold it at over 2000 Pounds. The market is completely nuts!
