mojobass Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Ive got a lovely washburn status 4 stringer, natural wings (ash I think?) all original, status jazz pups and active eq, few nicks here and there but nothing to write home about. plays great nice low action. Just recently had a fret dress plenty of life left in them. Considering a trade at the moment, ideally i'm after another warwick ,but it'd have to be active, 4 string and definately NO Rockbasses!! Don't know about price for a ssale, i know these are starting to appreciate and become collectable in certain circles. would come with a used but perrfectly serviceable gig bag for posting if required will get some pics up later when i get in from work
mojobass Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 possibly entertain trade for a compact head markbass/genz etc

mojobass Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 Not sure really, I have seen an almost identical one go on ebay for nearly £450 IIRC, I gues i'd love to get as close to £400 as i could if possible, but like i say at the mo i'd prefer a trade and take it from there if no interest.
Frusty Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I used to have one of these and regret selling it. I got mine for just over £200 quid on eBay but in the few years that have passed their value has risen - I should have kept it!

Have another bump!

I then sold it to a guy who used it live,and blinded the audience with it,who knew Flourescent yellow paint would be SOoooooooooooooooooo bright under U.V. light!
