Since I moved, I have lots of bills, and money's getting a little tight.
Since this bass spends most of it's time hanging on the wall (since I got my Vette $$ 5) I figure it's time to move it along.

original FS thread, edited here and there:

I'll include a strap (unsure of the brand, I think it's a Planet Waves 3") with the straplocks, as well.
I bought and installed red FretFX LED markers on this bass almost as soon as I got it. The positioning is a *hair* off, but not enough to throw you off. I'll include the two or three batteries I have left (they last a while, but I always had them on at practice to get used to them). This bass is actually the inspiration for my avatar. The only thing about the FretFX is that near the nut the adhesive started to come loose, so I used tape on the back of the headstock to compensate.
I have since changed the strings to DR Red Devils. I thought it would look cool with the red LEDs, but I was wrong. :sigh: I'll throw in a brand-new unopened set of Dunlop SS medium 5 strings, if you want them.

Wear and Tear:
There is some minor finger wear near the neck pickup, a chip/gouge which you can see in the pics near the bridge (near the B string), and some belt scratches on the back (from previous owner). It could probably use a good setup by a guitar tech.

It got a good setup in March, by Chuck at Moe's Music. Plays like a dream now. I prefer my action a little higher, but Chuck said he could take it as low as I wanted. The blemishes are less noticeable than I expected when I received it, but I'll take pics this afternoon and try to have them up tomorrow.
Straight sale only - I wish I could entertain trades, but I just really need the $ right now. I'm not desperate, so please no lowball offers - I can make it till next payday, I'm just a little tighter than I'd like to be.
:EDIT: Okay, so yeah, I need the money, but if someone has an Ibanez Gary Willis GWB-35, I'd do a trade. $650 + shipping
Price drop -
$600 + shipping OBRO (PayPal is preferred, cashier's check or postal money order) to the continental USA - which is what I paid for it before the setup, strings, strap, and FretFX. Shipping should run less than $50 via FedEx. If you're within reasonable driving distance and want to commit, I'll meet you halfway - as far as Richmond, anyway. Local sale is always preferred.
I will include the Warwick Rockbag which is a REALLY nice gig bag (I don't want to part with it, but I don't have anything else to ship it in and don't want to ship it half-@$$!
It does NOT come with the Warwick book & tool kit.
This is currently the best pic I have available, but I'll take more this afternoon. It's the one on the left, BTW - the $$ isn't for sale.
The pics below are from the original FS thread. I don't have internet at home right now, so I'm going to have to take pictures today and them find somewhere to hop on and post them, but I should have that done this afternoon or tomorrow.
