cockbongo Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Ok, here we go (sniff). I'm going to have to get rid of my 2003 Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman 5 string. I've been threatening to do this for a while, but now redundancy kinda forces a downscaling in the bass dept as I don't need two 5 strings. So here it is. I'm sure most of you know all about this model, or can Google it for more details. But for those who don't: Bolt-on US Swamp Ash body with AA-Flamed Maple top Ovangkol neck Wenge fingerboard Scale length: 34" (long scale) 24 frets Passive MEC J/MM pickups with open pole pieces Active MEC 3-way electronics Honey Violin Oil Finish Gold Warwick tuners and gold 2-piece Warwick bridge Warwick security locks Just-A-Nut III Weight: 4.1 kg The mix of the MM and J pickups means it's that little bit more flexible in tone than a number of the Warwicks i've played - frankly it's a superb bass. And it's my baby. Attached some pictures that don't really do it justice - there's a wee scratch on the back by the neck bolts which i've tried to show, and that's really the only flaw in this - it's otherwise in superb condition. I'll throw in some Warwick wax and the wee cloth you get with it, a pair of Warwick Gold Straplocks, a spare Just-a-Nut III nut, and also (da daaah) i'll throw in my lovely (and only) SKB hardcase, and (da daaaaah) shipping to Mainland UK. Can't say fairer than that, can I? A full Warwick kit for a knockdown price. Asking for £700 all in. Let me know if you're interested. edit: as it looks like this isn't going anywhere just now, I am interested in a trade for a decent Warwick 4-string, preferably a $$. Not many other 4-strings taking my fancy at the moment but open to offers. Edited April 27, 2009 by cockbongo
cockbongo Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Thursday bump. All serious offers considered.
cockbongo Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Man - Warwick interest is at an all time low, isn't it? Although this is such a beautiful instrument (tonally and physically) that it wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't sell... ...apart from the fact I need the money! Bump.
bundacious Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Remarkably good deal here, not sure why theres so little interest! Warwicks seem to be getting less love by the day which is strange really given that basses like this have so many tonal options. Looks sweet as a biscuit too, if I was looking for a backup to my SS2 I'd be all over this.
lee650 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I know what you mean!! Ive been trying to sell my Streamer jazzman 5 for months now, and no ones interested, definately out of vogue at the mo, the jazzman range is really versatile and im sure you wouldnt get as much bass again for £700, big bump for a great bass- lee Remarkably good deal here, not sure why theres so little interest!

cockbongo Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Addded some pictures of the *lovely* case. With the *lovely* bass. Come on, £700. Worth soooooo much more.
clauster Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 If it was a few weeks into the future and I wasn't 100s of miles away, I'd have this off you. I need a 5 string urgently and would like to stay with 'wick if poss.
thepurpleblob Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hopelessly optimistic PM sent. Failing that, have a bump
cockbongo Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Unfortunately this is now going to have to go on The Auction Site. Can't believe it. <sniff>
The Funk Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 This is very tempting. And I would have the money for it as soon as a cheque clears in my account next week. Hmm...

cockbongo Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 OK, weekend bump. I'm *perhaps* considering a trade for a very very very good 4-string if anyone has anything to offer....?
christiaan_01 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Is there a difference between your Corvette FNA Jazzman, and the Streamer Jazzman of Lee650 which was for sale?
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ooh, honey violin - That'd match my Triumph upright!

But i'm open to offers. No Fenders though, got one already
