warwickhunt Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 [quote name='outsider70' post='40193' date='Aug 1 2007, 08:38 PM']Hi Do you have any pictures of the headstock? And maybe the back of the bass? Is the neck on these satin or gloss? Cheers Tony[/quote] Hope these pics are OK Tony. The neck is gloss but it isn't a sticky gloss if that makes sense. I tend to play a totally lacquer free neck on my Warwicks and I've found this neck very slick. In fact I've had the neck of my main Warwick bass finished in a satin lacquer and there is no discernible difference between that and the Fender.

warwickhunt Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 OK I need to clear some funds to pay for a car purchase. Any further cash offers, with or without the J retro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Maybe I need to get these guys [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160142880408&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:middle:uk"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...hlink:middle:uk[/url] to sell my bass on commission! £1100 for an almost identical bass (might be just me but I prefer my black and tortie to their blue and white) and mine has the J-retro... they've got to be having a laugh. Saying that, this one is probably nicer than mine [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-REISSUE-62-STACK-KNOBS-2-MESI-DI-VITA_W0QQitemZ170135678843QQihZ007QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViwItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-REI...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Edited August 4, 2007 by warwickhunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chop Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Really surprised it hasn't gone as well, its a lovely bass but too similar to my Geddy Lee with J Retro.. or I'd have bitten your arm off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands I'm finding it hard to pick up my Warwick when this is sitting around (so damn easy to play and the sound...), I think I'm gonna persevere and try it at a couple more gigs to see if that body grows on me. The way the market for basses is at the moment I'd have to give it away (have you seen Ped's 5 string Jazzes!) and I'm not that desperate for the cash right now. Maybe things will be different after the summer hol's, if I still haven't reconcilled myself to the shape then with the prices being asked on eBay it makes me wonder if that wouldn't be the best bet.

warwickhunt Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have two potential swap/trades in the offing but I'd soon have the cash to kit out my Warwicks with new preamps (yes, the J-retro is that good it's making me change the preamps in all of my Warwicks). I believe this'll be the final bump back to the top! Compare the price of the various other J & P basses here and on eBay (Jap ones for £100 less than this USA...) and you'll see that this is pretty good value and if you come and try it you will be knocked out by the action, playability and tone; with or without the J-Retro.
