Price drop!
This is the new model with all of the regular German Warwick goodies...Just-A-Nut, two piece bridge, MEC pickups and a very thin neck. I would say the neck is very close to a Geddy Jazz in thickness. Also there's some nice flaming in the neck, which you can see a bit of in the close up of the back of the bass. It's only about a month or two old. Brand new condition.
I had a set of Hipshot Ultralites and threw those on the bass to see how they did. Not much difference from the standard Warwick tuners, which are very nice. (I can sell the bass with the Hipshots, but that will add an additional $50) They were a drop in replacement.
This is the passive version. Would be really easy to throw in a preamp if wanted. Lots of room in the control cavity.
Bass is very lightwight. Right around 6 lbs. on my scale. Would be awesome for long gigs. You can hardly tell it's there.
Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard.     
Outright sale: These basses sell for $649.99 with no gigbag. Price drop at $425 shipped.
Final price drop...$380 Shipped.

The new ones have a neck about half as thin as the older ones, which to me felt like a baseball bat. They're very close to a German Warwick in fit and feel.

but I'm finding I need a regular jazz bass
| Same woods used, besides pickups, what makes this tonally different than say a Fender MIM, MIJ or MIA Jazz?
Is it the traditional shape you're after? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Palm Coast, Florida | | | It's got to be the pickups then. Some Barts or DiMarzio's will cure that.
I love it. Always have favored the Corvette body style!
Taking trade offers? |

Taking trade offers? | Looking for a jazz bass, mainly something lightweight. PM me. Never hurts to ask.

Bump for a new set of D'Addario ProSteels put on last night. This bass is really nice. Someone buy it before I change my mind.
