**SOLD**

 

Up for sale is my awesome Warwick Fortress One from 1994 - hand built in Germany!

This is a truly exceptional instrument - not only is the tone incredible and versatile but the bass itself is very ergonomic and exceptionally well balanced - IMO it is the best balancing Warwick by far - thanks to the extra long upper horn. It is nice and lightweight too at only 4,07kg/8,97lb.

Controls are vol, blend, bass, treble.

The bass is in very good condition, especially for a 27 year old instrument! There are some marks though as you would expect from a used instrument - please see the last 4 photos for the few dings and scratches and there are also some blemishes in the finish on the top side of the lower horn. All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware. The fretboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished. The bass has just been strung with new Warwick strings.

Everyone has a bass they will always regret selling. I had one of these, same year, in blue. Amazing instrument. Shame I was a poor, unemployed recently graduated young man, it had to go 😭. That said, I'm now full time employed and I still don't have the disposable income haha somethings never change!
