I have a very nice Warwick Fortress 4-string bass. Yes, it's German made and in excellent condition -easily 9/10. The neck is thin, straight and and super fast! This bass has been well cared for and sounds great with the PJ-pick up configuration. I recently picked up a couple superb basses and the ones I don't play need to go (unfortunately  ).
Looking to get $750 plus shipping.
Pics coming soon! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: San Diego, California | | | Free bump for this lovely creature. Later versions had 3-piece bodies. I've never found a more ergonomic and elegant body shape. The wenge neck is really something special, and the profile is no chunkier than a P-bass. Feels so good! The fortress really thumps - WHY OH WHY DID THEY RETIRE IT? |
