I've got WAY too many Warwicks in stock at the moment, so I'm going to be liquidating at least 6 to 8 of them. Every Warwick that I have in stock (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=WABA&keywords=all) is eligible for a SERIOUS discount, from the entry level Corvette Standard (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2388) on up to Streamer LX 2008 LTD (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2293).

This sale will run until I move at least 6 of these basses. Just PM me with the bass you're interested in, and I'll give you a killer quote. Ignore the price shown on my site, and also ignore my "best price" that is shown. I'll be beating that for the first 6-8 guys to come along with cash.

Come and get 'em :bassist:

Laredo - I tried to respond to your PM, but your Inbox must be full...

The answer to your question is $1175 w/ free shipping!

Man, this one right here...

http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2513.jpg

... between this and that L2500 you've got, I've got some serious GAS. That green with black hardware is KILLER.

Sorry to do that to ya, Brian! Again :)

That green 5-er is just a little bit higher than the number I quoted Laredo above (SERIOUSLY).

Cool - now that I'm back, I'll be working this sale hard all week. This is a great time to get a new Warwick at a ridiculous price...

Hi, Greg,

Do you have anything other than $$'s in ash? I'm still looking for a light 'Wick.

Most of the ash Corvette $$ 4 strings run right at 8.25 lbs. The Turquoise Blue one that I have in stock is the lightest, and it weighs 7.8 lbs.

Everything else I have (non-Corv-$$) is even heavier. Bubinga and Ovangkol are even more dense/heavy.

I'll check w/ DBG today to see if they have anything that might fit the bill. Are you looking for a Corv $$ 4 string, or are you looking for some other model?

Cheers,
Greg

The Corvette Taranis, though still Ash-bodied, is apparently about a pound lighter than the ash $$.

http://www.warwickbass.com/basses/corvette_taranis.htm

With a simple nut change, it could be tuned E-G instead of B-D... let me know if you're interested, and I'll have DBG weigh a few basses.

Please PM your best price on THIS (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2219) beauty please? Thanks a lot...

DW:bassist:

Oh, man. That's one of the only two 'wicks that I don't really have any room to come off (my best price is the one shown when you add it to the cart - $2899). The Infinity SN 5 is the other one ($1999).

Both of those basses don't have minimum advertised prices on them, so I can publicly state my best price without being spanked... and those ones I've been dropping and dropping the price over the past few months trying to find the magic price that will move them... but at this point, I'm basically down to making no money on them :crying:

If knocking $50 more off either would get you excited, I'll do it... but I don't have room to knock off hundreds like I do on all the other basses.

Sorry!

I should also mention that I have the new and exciting Hellborg amp system (http://www.warwick.de/Hellborg/) in stock, and I can offer a really great price on it. Please PM me for a quote!

Monday morning bump! I've received lots of inquiries, and everyone seems really excited about these prices... but nobody has bitten yet. So, yes, you can be the first!!!

For whatever that's worth :)

Well, I guess I should say two have bitten, but they've ordered basses that I didn't have in stock... I'm REALLY trying to move some of the basses that I have on hand to free up some physical space in my store.

Please help!! :D

Oooooh - I just got a killer deal on some Warwick/RockCase road cases! They usually go for $172.95, but I'm going to throw them in for free (one per bass) while supplies last. I should have 6 or 7 of them to give away.

I'll ship the road case in lieu of the deluxe gig bag that comes standard, so you won't be getting both. Or I'd be happy to also give you the gig bag for free, but I'd have to charge you some shipping ($25 in the US?).

Here's a pic of the case:
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2045.jpg

I use one of these cases to haul my Thumb NT around. It's a terrific case, it really takes a beating well.

So this is good on the sale prices for Warwick???

Wow - that's a freaking great deal!

Check PM's Greg. . .

Back atcha, Wes. And we have a winner! The fretless green Corvette $$ says "Bye-bye, Rocket Music", and "Hello, Wes".

I just set it up, Wes, so it's playing like a charm. It sounds pretty awesome, too, I love the $$ tones.

Hi Greg,
Could you PM me the sale price of the ocean blue corvette $$? Thanks,
Brent

Hi, Brent - you've been PM'd :)

Replied

Cool - I just received my special shipment of 6 more road cases, so I'm now officially ready to give these away!

Would you be so kind as to PM me with a price your standard 'Vette 5?

calgone47 - PM sent!

So I have a Nirvana Black $$ 5 string. I absolutely love this bass. Considering adding a 4 banger. Can you PM the price on this one (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2554). Also could you tell me the price of a road case for the 5 banger vette $$?

The road cases are usually $160, but I'm giving them away with the next 6 Warwick basses that I move.

I've PM'd you my best Corv $$ 4 price. If you bought that bass (or any other 'wick), you'd get the one road case for free. If you wanted to add a second road case, I could do $125 shipped.

GREG!!!!

Got my bass. Wow. I'm gonna have a hard time going to work tomorrow....

I got the green $$ fretless. It is - in a word - amazing! The neck is smooth and fast, the action super low, and the green isn't near as ugly as I thought it would be! :)

Thanks for a great transaction guys! I highly recommend Rocket for any Warwick purchase - they really take care of the customer!

:)

Hey Greg, you have a new PM! I hope we can work something out =)

Excellent! The Corvette Standard 5-string is sold now, too :) Thanks, Andy!

How much for a thumb 4 or 5

In stock, I've got this Thumb NT 4 (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2506)...

http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2506.jpg

... and this Thumb BO 4 (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2436).
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2436.jpg

Their current internet prices are $4719 and $2799, respectively. But I can do a lot better than that. I've PM'd you my best price on these two.

If you're after a 5 or a 6, I'd have to order that and my price wouldn't be as attractive (beause I'd be ordering them at the newer, higher Warwick price).

PM sent on the black Streamer $$ 4 banger.

Tom - there's an email on the way to ya!

Wow, when it rains it pours! Today we found homes for the 2008 LTD Streamer LX 5 String and the Hellborg amp system. That should be two incredibly satisfied customers!

Check out this 2008 LTD that is headed to MA:
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2293.jpg

I'm so sad to see that one go... it probably would have ended up in my collection if it hadn't sold soon.

So that's three free Warwick road cases that have been given away so far. I still have three more left to give away with the next three Warwick basses...

Greg
Check your emails !
Tom - there's an email on the way to ya!

Tom - Back atcha again :)

Dang, I hate to see this SSI 5-string (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2627) go, but go it has gone!! Congrats, Matt!
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2627.jpg

I still have this Honey SSI 5-String (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=2680) in stock, and I can tell you my best price on this one since it was part of the Euro Schmuro promotion: $2599!!!
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2680.jpg

And there goes the Honey SSI 5'er. Thanks... anonymous! You know who you are :)

So that leaves three road cases that I can throw in with the next three 'wicks...

:hiding:

:hiding:

Quick! GET EM'!!! :D

I know nozeeng (said in the voice of Sgt. Shultz).

Come on people - Hogan's Heroes? Can I get a what-what?

The honey violin SSI is now mine (well, as soon as it gets here, that is).

I am happy.

That is all.



:D:D:hyper::bassist:

Well, it's here!!:hyper::bassist:

And it's freakin' amazing!! Actually feels lighter than my previous SS1's did, which isn't at all a bad thing.

More later, I've got a couple songs to run through and then off to rehearsal with it.

Congrats, Ryan! I was really sad to see that bass leave the store. It made the store look classier just by hanging on the wall :)

So today I bought a glorious SSII 4-string for our shop. DBG is getting to the end of their inventory, so it's getting easier for them to pick through the basses to find the great looking ones. James cherry picked a super one for me, and I can't wait for it to show up.

I also grabbed another 4 road cases to keep this sale going a bit longer. I'm almost down to where I want to be with today's sale of the burgundy red Corvette $$ 4. A few more Warwicks, and I'll be able to pickup another bass line... Roscoe... Spector... Ken Smith... Alembic... choices, choices, choices.

An SSII 4 string??


Why are you doing this to me???:help:

Well, the good news is that this SSII 4-string is another Euro-Schmuro bass, so I can be upfront in public about my best price. DBG hasn't given me my final price yet, but I think my DBG buddy is reducing what was already an awesome price even more. Good for me, good for you :)

It should arrive early next week, and you won't believe the price... I mean, it's certainly not pocket change, but relative to the current internet price ($5039) it's pretty incredible. It should come in comfortably under $3K ($2850?). That's almost half price, and I don't mean 50% off list price ($6299). It's almost 50% off the STREET price, and that includes a free road case, free shipping, etc.

Sorry to go into salesman mode... I usually try to avoid that :)

It's pretty slim pickin's at this point, mainly pricier basses (like the SSII on the way) and cosmetically challenged basses.

Never the less, I will check w/ DBG in the morning and get back to you! Since this is a backup for you, maybe you wouldn't mind a 3-piece body that wasn't matched perfectly or has some streaking or spotting in it?

Yeah, shoot me a PM with what they've got. And if they're willing to deal a little more on something that's maybe not quite perfect looking, as long as it plays and sounds good, it's fine by me.

Thanks!!

Well that SSII 4 string came in and went out the same day, I didn't even get to photograph it :)

I've been putting a lot of energy into things other than moving more of these Warwicks... but that doesn't mean that I don't need to move some of these. I've got plenty of the free road cases left, and I'm still wheelin' and dealin'... Drop me a PM if any of these (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=WABA&keywords=all) appeal to you.

Damn, that was quick.:eek:

My SSII 5'er arrived today. :hyper:

I haven't played it yet, but it made it from EU to CA to MI in one piece. :D And that roadcase is a beast! I'm glad I got a gigbag as well.

Thanks Greg for the hook up. (even though we had to perform with an intricate set of ropes and pulleys to do it)

I'll post more later.....

I agree, the roadcase is a monster. VERY nice case, and I'm glad to have it for when I need it, but I'm also glad I got the gig bag along with it.

Still going?

Why don't you PM a quote for a $$ 4 . . . yes, to match my FL. I may be willing to sell my old fretted for a new one. Color - I like the tobacco or red or black. . . anything but GREEN! :)

Thanks!

What, you don't want to have TWINS?

Yuk-yuk. PM sent!

And I hate to say this, but the green one is the lightest of the bunch... it's only like 7.5 lbs...

Sigh...

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm83/Kspinesh/Green.jpg

...and the FL plays like a dream. Greg knows how to set a bass up - perfect! :)

So I've been pretty distracted with Roscoe stuff lately... but it's time to find some homes for Warwicks!! I've still got 6 road cases left to give away with the next 6 Warwicks that head out the door! Drop me a PM for a KILLER price quote on any Warwick in my inventory (http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=WABA&keywords=all).

Maybe some bass porn will help? These are all full size, sorry for the strange pic sizes :eek:

Absolutely! I'll shoot you a PM right now with a quote.

Cheers,

can u PM me quotes for a corvette standard 5 active, a vette $$ 5, and a vette tyranis 5?

much appreciated!

PM sent!

Yes indeed, you have done it again... another fantastic deal ends with a bass headed to Kansas.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm83/Kspinesh/Thumb1.jpg

I think I just need to stay out of this forum for a while :).

If you stayed away, just imagine how your collection would suffer :crying:

Oh, Brian! I just oiled your fretboard and waxed the body... holy smokes, you're going to LOVE this bass. It just came alive with a little TLC.

Now I'm gonna set the action as low as it will go without a lot of buzz. My default setup is great for someone with a light touch. If you dig in more often than not, I should probably raise it a hair. Just say the word.

If it's the same type of setup as that G&L you sent me, go for it - that thing (still!) practically plays itself... like butta'. I've got an absolutely killer, slicing tone dialed into the GBE-1200 with my Corvette, so I'm really excited to see how that bad boy sounds.

If I may ask, did you just use lemon oil for the fretboard, or is there something in particular you use on the Warwicks?

Yep, just plain old lemon oil. I think it was Dunlop 65 brand, but whatever (Formby's, Dr. Stringfellow, etc.) will do.

The wax I use is the Warwick stuff, and I like to stick with that (for no particular reason). There will be a tin of the wax in with your bass. :)

When Greg says that he's going to set the action low, he means it!!! Mine came with possibly the best setup I've ever received a bass with.

Wow, and that's really saying something, isn't it Ryan? How many basses have you owned? :)

Hey, I really appreciate the compliment. I'm a bit of a speed freak myself, so I need low action. After 25 years of playing & setting up my own basses, I've learned most of the tricks of the trade. And I apply them to every bass I ship.

:oYeah, I've been through a few basses..................I like trying new stuff.:D

And the setup my SSI came with was right on par with the "Keith Roscoe Setup" that the Roscoe I bought brand new arrived with (the others were bought used).

Yeah, boy, Keth's setups sure are nice. The 35" scale really helps, too. I can get the action on a Roscoe crazy low thanks to the stiffer string tension. With a straight neck, it's practically impossible to make those things buzz.

The Roscoe B string is STILL blowing my mind, what a beautiful thing... I've got to own one personally at some point in the near future. Either the Amboyna or the Sapele top that I have on reserve might find it's way into my collection in '09... shhhh, don't tell the wife :)

I'm a sucker for Sapele. I made this amp cabinet back when I was trying to make a living building custom guitar cabs (word of advice - don't do that!!):

Now wouldn't this top look nice with that amp cabinet? Too bad I sold the amp :(
http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2860.jpg

Boy, I sure know how to hijack my own thread, eh? Roscoe, Electric Wood amps... everything but Warwick :)

:D

Oh wow. I just checked out the bubinga you have pictured on your site!! I didn't realize when I first looked at it that it was large enough to do an SKB body.

Hmmm.

Yeah, man, and the Bubinga was thick enough to cut both a top and a matching back... that will be a LOVELY Roscoe for somebody... why not you?

And being just two hours away from their shop, I can check in on it in person if Gard chooses to withold in-progress photos :)

No Warwicks, no Roscoes... Kansas City really kinda sucks for bass stuff :hmm:. I would absolutely love to get my hands on a Roscoe and see what they're all about.

Could you please pm me a price on the 4-string active Corvette?....thanks in advance!!

No Warwicks, no Roscoes... Kansas City really kinda sucks for bass stuff :hmm:. I would absolutely love to get my hands on a Roscoe and see what they're all about.

Hmmm... if only there was a store that carries Roscoes and has a 7-day no-hassle return policy... hmmmm....

:eek:

Why don't I just set up a Rocket Music West here in KC? I can darn near do it from my house.

Sure! I'll send you our balance sheet so you can see how much debt you'll have to assume to become a partial owner! Dave Ramsey would NOT approve :)

Yeah, if I were to make such a suggestion that Thumb would be my last purchase from you as I would become a victim of "Wifeicide".

Man, this one right here...

http://www.rocketmusic.net/images/2513.jpg

... between this and that L2500 you've got, I've got some serious GAS. That green with black hardware is KILLER.


Please pm the price of this beauty, this is seriously the coolest warwick ever

Please pm the price of this beauty, this is seriously the coolest warwick ever

Aww shucks... I'm jealous. Of course, I've got that Thumb headed my way, but still :) I love me some Warwicks!

How about a PM price on that corvette $$ 6?

PM sent!

Wow - my Thumb was delivered a day early :bassist:

Of course, I agreed go to Christmas shopping all night... :scowl:

Oh, cool! UPS has been doing that a lot the past few weeks. I guess they pull out all the stops this time of year to move stuff through their system.

So is it all that (plus the bag o' chips)? I thought that one was pretty killer.

I am thoroughly and completely pleased. This thing looks just as good as I expected and sounds even better - I don't remember Thumbs having this much bass to them! The growl and Thumb tone are all there, but this thing flat-out rumbles. The neck (and setup!) is extremely playable; it reminds me a LOT of a J neck. It hangs perfectly as well... what else to say?

Just for kicks, here is a picture of my Rocket Music gear together, including the SKB case (but not the 1200 :)).

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm83/Kspinesh/Mesa010-1.jpg

You have indeed sent me a winner.

Ooooh - I just felt a twinge of envy :eek:

Between that rig, those two basses, and your Corvette... you should be able to get just about any bass tone you want!

And, yeah, the fact that you bought all but the head from Rocket Music? Well, that just warms the cockles of my heart. Who knew my little store in VA could serve as your local store in KS?

I say it all the time, but I'll say it again. God Bless the Internet! And thank YOU, Brian - I really appreciate your business. Merry Christmas!

Who knew your heart had cockles?

You should get that checked out.

LOL - yeah, they must make a pill for that?

Greg set me up with a killer rig! The $$ through that Schroeder is wicked. Gotta love some Rocket Music!

Hey, thanks Allen! I appreciate your biz, as always.

That deal was so hot... I think you left your coat here at the store :)

Now that my new rig has a gig under it's belt and some practice time, I must say I'm super-pleased with the Warwick Corvette $$ bass. In fact, the whole rig is killer - everyone is complimenting the sound, and how much better even "I sound" LOL! The STL6.0 has enough power to punch the Warwick's tone through the band, and that Schroeder is equally as loud as my 4x10 cab.

But the bass...man, the bass is eff-spuckin-tacular. If any of you have hemmed and hawed over jumping to a Warwick, check them out.

Cheers!
