Delberthot Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) This must be a new record - I've had this bass for all of 10 days, played one gig and had one practice with it. This is a seriously phenomenal bass. Its one of the fastest playing basses I've ever owned. You can play a million miles an hour and it will reproduce every note clearly. none of this muddy, notes running together rubbish. Don;t think that this is a polite bass either: it can get very aggresive sounding and growly if the need arises. The bass is very similar, control wise as a Musicman Sterling, it has 2 MM MEC humbuckers which can each be independently switched between series, single coil & parallel modes. Other controls are Volume, pickup pan, treble & bass. The volume also pulls up to activate passive mode. The width of the neck is 45mm at the nut and 61mm at the 12th fret All specs can be found here: [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=22016&cl=EN#"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/pro...2016&cl=EN#[/url] I would say that it sounds somewhere between a Thumb and a 2 band Stingray. The bass was made in August 2005 going by the serial number. When I got the bass it didn;t have any of the associated adjustment thingies but I will include both sized allen keys for it. It also comes with the usual strap locks as well and has a brand new set of 45-135 Yellow Label nickel Warwick strings fitted. It will come in a Hiscox hard case which includes the key. the bass has a few scratches here and there and a couple of dings. Unfortunately my camera is far too good and makes them all look 10 times worse than they are. The case has got a dent in it as well pointing out the way but is still rock solid. I've taken as many pictures of any marks as I could but can supply more if you want them. I've given it a full setup and clean. I went over the back of the neck with steel wool so its smooth as the proverbial I'm finished buying any more basses as I have come to the conclusion that the gold bass is the only one I will ever need so its cash only on this one. I don;t have any cardboard to put the case in but can bubblewrap it for posting or alternatively can meet up somewhere for the cost of fuel. I'm going to be in Southport next week on holiday so as long as it doesn;t take too much out of my day I could arrange to meet down that neck of the woods. Anyhoo, enough talk - here are the pics: Edited January 28, 2009 by Delberthot

Delberthot Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 I think he means my one. It did come from Your neck of the woods so very well could've been your
elsharko Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 ive got a yam and status up for trade if youre interested?
Delberthot Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks for the offer. they're both nice basses but I've realised that I really only need the one and its my gold Warmoth
agoulding Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 would you trade for any of my family members?

mogli66 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 God that's stunning!!! I wish I had something you would like to trade for it. I work in Linlithgow so could have easily picked up!!! ahhhhhh!! haha! Damn not having enough cash!!!
Delberthot Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 This might have to be put on hold for a week. The end of today is probably the latest time i can get a courier organised to come before I go on holiday. Alternatively, if you live near the M74, A74 or M6 as far down as Southport I can drop it off on saturday.
Paul Cooke Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 that ocean blue is the finish I'd have if I had the money to have them make me one... sadly, I can't even get £100 together right now, let alone what you're asking for it...
Delberthot Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Now sold and on its way back to its original owner

I dont regret it but i did miss the bass, i seen it for sale then here again and i had to get it back. I know the marks on it like the back of my hand .
budget bassist Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 haha cool, it's awesome when that happens
