Sorry voor het Engels, maarhad deze ad al gemaakt voor op het Warwick forum en had geen zin om alles nog eens te vertalen,
dus heb deze snel ff gekopieerd, mijn excuses voor men luiheid...
ok, hier is de ad:
Hi,
I have offered this beauty for sale here before (and already had some decent offers on it too) , but i decided to withdraw it from sale at the last moment because it just sounds, looks and plays so good that i couldn't bring myself to let her go.
In the meanwhile however some things have changed as i've recently found out that i'm more comfortable playing a 5 string and therefore would like to replace my 4 string thumb with a similar 5 string.
I'm looking for trades with a Warwick 5 string ,
will consider both fretted and fretless basses as i'm looking to buy/trade one of each.
I prefer older wicks with bolt on wenge neck , MEC pick-up's and my bodywood of choice is bubinga,so
a Bubinga corvette would be nice,but i will consider other trade offers as well.
Considering the recent upgrades (see below) i would set the trade-value of the thumb around 900Euro , cash price would be 850Euro wich seems reasonable as i've already been offered that much for the bass the last time it was for sale.
possible trades are :
- the thumb for a fretted or fretless corvette + cash my way
- a high end 5 string warwick for the thumb + cash your way
- a fretted AND a fretless corvette for the thumb + cash your way
- might also consider other offers, w.h.y.g???
Now for some more info about the bass:
The Thumb has been fitted with a brand new battery compartment , jack & pre-amp wiring.
i also added a brand new set of Gotoh Res-o-Lite tuners in black chrome (value 120Euro!) and new Dunlop recessed straplocks.
This bass was made in '98 and is one of the last German custom shop basses with the slim profile three piece wenge neck and (striped) Bubinga body,the bass looks absolutely mint and is therefore a rare collectors item AND a real players bass all in one.
It has the new MEC 3 band active pre-amp, with active/passive push/pull switch and has a huge range of tones suited for almost any kind of music!
(I myself found the bass to sound absolutely killer in passive mode combined with a tube amp! )
I've invested a decent amount of cash in new parts for this bass over the last few months and it's no doubt the best sounding bass i've ever owned (and i've had plenty...) so i'm not letting this go for a stupid low price.
I will ad a (new) spare can of Warwick wax to the deal as well as a premium line Warwick gigbag and a spare set of 45-105 EB strings.
And i have a modified Jackson flightcase i can ad to the deal if i should have to ship the bass.
specifications:
body: striped bubinga
neck: three piece wenge neck
fretboard: wenge
frets: bellbrass
tuners: brand new (!) Gotoh Res-o-Lite tuners (only 35grams each, these really reduce the neck dive!)
pre-amp: MEC 3-band EQ with active/passive push/pull switch
pick-up's: MEC J/J
straplocks: brand new (!) Dunlop recessed straplocks
extra's: Warwick premium line gigbag / Can of Warwick wax
lots of detailed pictures of the thumb and parts can be found here:

Any questions, please ask!
I will ship worldwide, here in Belgium courier services are still reasonably cheap, so i can probably make a good price for shipping.
shipping withing EU will cost between 30-40Euro depending on your location.
I can ship to the U.S. at a starting rate of 90Euro, please send me an email if you want an accurate shipping quote for your location.
kind regards,
Don.
PS: Heb ook nog een Jackson Warrior gitaar en een line 6 210 amp te koop voor een vriend, PB voor meer info en foto's.
