shantijoe Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Hi All thanks for the interest but no sale hence eBay. I've had a very good time recording this Vintage Warwick. This [b]1999 German made Warwick FNA 4-string bass is in high-gloss burgundy finish[/b]. It is in excellent condition for a vintage instrument though some belt-buckle marks can be seen on the back (see photo) there are a couple of scratches on the rear upper egde and headstock. The controls are smooth and noiseless providing volume/treble/middle/bass boost through the active pre-amp. Currently set-up with Rotosound custom gauge strings for low action without any fret noise.The neck profile is slimmer/faster than recent Warwicks- similar to Jazz basses. This is in original vintage condition and will I include a Warwick gig bag. I'm in rural N. Wales so viewing difficult but see the pics and send any questions, thanks for looking bass brothers! joe [b]Warwick FNA Specifications[/b]: The body of the Warwick FNA bass is made of swamp ash with a book-matched flamed maple top. The combination of a 4-stripe ovangkol neck and wenge fingerboard with 24 brass-frets ensures the typical Warwick sound. The FNA is equipped with a passive MEC MM-style pickup and an active 3-way circuit which guarantees a phat sound. Bolt-on neck 4-string US Swamp Ash body with book-matched AA-Flamed Maple top Ovangkol neck Wenge fingerboard Scale length: 34 inches (long scale) 24 frets Passive MEC MM-style pickup with open pole pieces 3-way Active electronics (treble/middle/bass) Finish: High Gloss Burgundy Warwick tuners 2-piece Warwick bridge Warwick security locks Gold hardware Warwick Just-A-Nut Edited November 9, 2010 by shantijoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Warwick change such a cool neck profile?! joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
