FS/FT: Warwick Masterman 5

Warwick Masterman 5

Well, I am thinking it might be time to pass on my Masterman 5-string. It has an absolutely beautiful birdseye maple body and is in fantastic shape. This bass has been my main player while at my house, but I have always had other fretted Warwicks that I have taken to gig out. This bass has been babied big time. Now I have a Thumb 5, a Corvette fretless 5, and this one. I have started thinking about trying some other sounds. Since I need to keep one fretted Warwick that I am willing to take out and gig (I baby this more than the Thumb 5), so this bass has to be the one. I have thought about it for a while and I will be very sad to see it go.

It is a 1997 Fortress Masterman 5 / wenge. Bass is in great shape. A couple of light scratches around one knob, but thats it. I will add a picture later, but they are very hard to see. The only issue I have ever had with it was the input jack had some issues a few years back and it was replaced. I doubt there is a nicer Warwick Masterman 5 out there.

$925 shipped in HSC to the lower 48. PayPal is fine. For trades I am trying to find another 5-string, or maybe a 6-string. I am especially interested in a Ernie Ball, Spector, Modulus, Zon, or Lakland. Really pretty open. I can add cash for the right bass. Please PM me with any offers. Thanks for looking!

I had a chance to take some additional pictures today. Also, I added more trade possibilities in my original posting. Really pretty open, as long as it is a 5-string or 6-string. Just want to try something different after focusing on one brand for so long. Every couple of years you have to do that. You branch out and either get out of your system or switch! We will see. The last picture shows the scratch under one of the knobs. Anything else you see is just dust. Its in great shape.
