Mottlefeeder Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Relisted - it has to go. This is a 1996 passive Corvette with a Bubinga body, Wenge neck, Ebony fingerboard, and Brass nut. The original sunken strap-locks have been removed, the holes dowelled, and conventional strap buttons fitted. It comes with a Warwick gig bag, a new tin of Warwick wax, a selection of used Warwick black label strings, and the additional replacement screw you need for the nut if you want to string it BEAD as I did. The Bass is in good condition. There are surface marks on the back (jean's stud), and the horn (strap buckle), but with no paint finish to be destroyed, you cannot see the marks from more than a few feet away. There is one 'grain of rice' sized shallow ding on the upper side of the neck, which you could fill in with superglue if it bothered you. The gig-bag is servicable, but the seams around the side handle are starting to go. For back-packing and car-boot use, it should last many more years. £350, delivered within one hour's drive of Warrington - other distances negotiable. <pictures deleted> Edited April 19, 2008 by Mottlefeeder
Ghosts Over Japan Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 thats stunning good luck with the sale man, im getting pretty desperate for a warick but i can justify it
dub_junkie Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 lovin it...what a gorgeous fretless no posting?
Bigwan Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Oh... sorely tempted! If I hadn't just put the deposit down on a Shuker I'd have your arm off. I've got this one's fretted twin already... A great deal here lads. You'll not get a better bass under 2 grand. Mine forced me to sell my Wal through underuse!
Mottlefeeder Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 This has't sold yet, which suggests I've got something wrong. I am away on business most of next week, so while I am away, either on the forum or as a PM, tell me what you think I should have said, and or should have put as the price.
The Funk Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I paid £350 for mine. The trouble is nothing seems to be holding its value on here at the moment. That's an excellent bass in great condition at a very good price. I'd say just hang on in there until the right buyer comes along. If you can't wait then the only option is to lower the price, which would be a shame.
CS2 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Things have been slow for a while and it's the run up towards Christmas...
Mottlefeeder Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 I parked the sale over Christmas, and then other thing got in the way. Anyway, this Warwick Corvette 4-string fretless is back on the market.
