lepromo Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) At last I've got my MM StingRay, so up for grabs is myWarwick Corvette $$ in Nirvana Black. I bought this new in 2006 and it's been my main gigging bass for the past 2½ years. It's in extremely good condition with all electrics working 100% and minimal fret wear. This bass is used but by no means abused. I look after my gear and treat it with the respect it deserves. The black chrome finish has worn away on the pickup screws and on the bridge saddles. (See pics). Obviously this does not affect the playability, and in fact it wore off during the first six months. As you can see from the pics the black oil finish next to the bridge pickup has worn a bit, but I have to rest my fingers somewhere! Aside from that, the body is unmarked. The bass has never been dropped, knocked or dinked and the neck is straight and unmarked. There is a very slight mark on the top of the headstock, but you'd have to look very hard to see it. I replaced the original Warwick strap locks with Schaller ones early on because I found the Warwick ones to be a bit unreliable. They have a push button to release them and I found that the pins started jamming meaning that they wouldn't seat properly when I put the strap on, potentially causing the strap to part company with the guitar. The Schaller strap fittings will be included in the sale. It comes with the original Warwick gig bag and case candy. (Allen keys, truss rod tool, manual and unopened Warwick polishing cloth). I'm putting this on eBay just to keep my options open. Wish I could afford to keep it, but something must go to justify my StingRay! I'm down in sunny (ha ha) Cornwall. If you live in my neck of the woods you're very welcome to come and try it. As for the price, I'd like to see £625 for it. (I've done my homework and the best price I've found on a new one of these is £945 from Absolute Music Solutions in Poole, Dorset.)
