As mentioned in other FS threads, I continue to liquidate some of my holdings to finance GAS, and now, a costly truss rod replacement project for one of my old Warwicks.
For sale here is a custom 5 string Wishbass, number 193 so this is an early run. This one was a custom job that Wish did for someone back in the day. As such is includes some features not often seen on Wishbasses including frets, a mechanical and adjustable chrome bridge, tone control, a hidden input jack by the bottom of the axe and a really attractive custom body shape that features a scroll on the upper horn which was likely inspired by Carl Thompson.
This bass has great finish work for a Wish. No gaps or cracks as far as I can tell. Overall very well built. Features a walnut body, maple neck and a wenge fretboard. Pickup is an emg select Jazz.
I was an early believer in Wishbasses, and at one point I owned three of them. I recording with my Motley 4 string and my Rainbow 7 string (which was featured in Wishbass' Bass Player mag ads for years) and to this day the engineers still talk about how great those basses tracked. Big tone. Big.
Anyway, I came upon this one recently and bought it on a lark. It has been fun to play and very easy to play. Low action and the bass is surprisingly light, not to mention well-balanced.
But time to move this on. Asking $SOLD shipped or your best offer to get this to a new home.
And please do make an offer if you are interested as I want cash for GAS.
