Want: [b]Left handed[/b] Bass with a slim neck, 4 strings, pref. jazz pickups but soapbars are ok if not. Looking for a smooth, warm tone that can be clearly heard and distinguished.
Budget: Around £450, I will go second-hand as long as it's in mint condition

Please help people, been searching for ages but haven't found a bass as yet

Warwick corvette is the one

, Warwick and slim neck don't belong in the same sentence unless that sentence includes the words 'do not have' right?

Don't the fortress series have slimmer necks?

Had a little look and was wondering; does the Ibanez SR500L match my needs? or is there something else more appropriate?

The Ibanez would do you nicely, they sound pretty good too ! I'd say they sound pretty growly, they're not unlike Warwicks in some aspects.

Have a look at the Yamaha BB414. Admittedly. it's a PJ pickup up arrangement, but the neck is very jazz-ish and it does sound good. Well within your budget as well. I use one too.

Thanks for the replies guys, think I'm gonna go for the Ibanez though, GASsed for one for a long time! Anyone know any being sold second hand? There was one on ebay the other week and one at the moment that seems abit much for SH..
