FS/FT WARWICK fretless Corvette 2001 standard Bubinga !

PICS:
http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...KposiWHTnegat/

This 2001 has a super slim bolt-on Ovankol neck (NOT bassball bat like the newer ones) with wonderful flaming in the wood grain and exceptional Bubinga body.

I've kept flats on it since I acquired in '08 and kept the Bubinga body, back of neck and headstock waxed with the provided warwick wax. The previous owner did have roundwounds on it for a small time. Adjustable graphite nut. Bolt on neck. Super low action. Stock passive pick-ups and controls all work great. The Ovankol neck is a bit darker due to being waxed regularly and matches the Bubinga nicely in color.

I'm sure you can see in the picks that there's a few chips on the back of the headstock and one tuning key is missing a machine cover. These are slight issues of wear that I've never even given a second thought to. They're on the back and don't remotely affect the wonderful playability of this bass. These are some of the finest tuning keys I've ever used to. These aesthetic imperfections were there when I acquired it. Nonetheless, this bass is in pristine condition, folks!

$550 with flight case

older well used SKB case can be included instead of flight case for a bit more - (It's been used a great deal; the outer-covering is warped away from the wood but functions well otherwise; great protection for gigging.)

PM me about any trades. Would prefer cash on this one but I'm certainly open to trades either = or +/- cash depending.

Trade considerations:

Whammy Pedal (regular - not bass)
Microkorg !!!
Presonus FireStudio / Firepod recording interface

Mesa Walkabout or 360 M-Pulse

Warwick Fretted Corvette
Fender Jaguar - Got sunburst!? hit me up!
Short Scale Basses
CIJ basses
Darkstar pick-up
Godin a4 fretted or fretless

Takers!? Cheers!

Did I mention this was purchased from another TBer?

original purchase thread
The picture link doesn't show the corvette anymore. (Originally purchased for 600 plus shipping.)

I will have pics up this evening.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. I super want it really really really bad. I don't have any cash right now except for in my savings. But I can refill that, right?? Ugh.

How about I give you my creepy roommate and he can do creepy things for you like stare at people while they're trying to sleep?

I'm trying to figure out a way to buy this. If my jazz bass sells, I'll have it in a heartbeat. If it doesn't, I think I might still buy it...

Man that is quite deal, debating about jumping on it. Do you have any pics of the included case? Also, are there side dots? There is one shot where it does not look like there is, but it may be a poor angle to see them.

It has side markers just like any other corvette. I had to give that shot long exposure to get the whole neck in focus. They are very visible cream dots though.

I'll try to get a pic up of both cases soon. I was thinking 50 bones more for the SKB hardcase.
