Up to £510 already? I've seen Corvettes in various incarnations going from £280 to £370 in the last few months. This is the Ovangkol necked version too, after the more desirable Wenge ones. His reserve is £600, i have the Ash-bodied 4 string version of this and i paid £598 for that new! A bit gutted cos i should be in the market for a Warwick sometime this year! EDIT for bad spelling!

warwickhunt Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 £650 for a BO Corvette... bodes well for the NT Streamers that I have for sale! Though I am loathed to eBay them, that may be the way forward. Quote
lemmywinks Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 This guy charged £40 postage too so someone's paying nearly £700 for one of the cheaper Warwicks. Quote
budget bassist Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) doesn't help that GAK want almost £1k for that particular model brand new. You seem to have missed the boat on the cheap warwicks, i couldn't be happer with my 'cheap' warwick though! Edited June 7, 2009 by budget bassist Quote
warwickhunt Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 £939 for a used 4 string BO Jazzman... Feck! My 'Vintage' Ltd Ed NT Streamer with free shipping and a 'NEW' Warwick Leather Jacket is looking a positive bargain.

s_u_y_* Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Good news! I'm strapped for cash and I think my Streamer might have to get the chop Quote

Last month I was watching an auction for another '91 Thumb that ended on £1170 (IIRC) and ultimately sold to the same guy who'd sold me his for £670 + petrol money. So yeah, I think values are starting to get realistic again. Actually... He was from Tyneside somewhere, can't remember exactly, maybe you know him. Quote

I've owned a good few Thumb basses (I'm a slow learner) but I'm pretty sure I've never sold one on eBay. Quote
LukeFRC Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I had a friend who sold a 5 string FNA Jazzman a week or so ago, got £800 which wasnt bad for the seller I thought. Quote
