FS: TWINS! (2) Warwick Infinity NT 2000 LTDs - Fretted and Fretless

Manfloozy · #1 08-01-2011, 08:16 PM

I'm selling my stunning pair of Warwick Infinitys.

Both are 2000 LTD models with 5-piece neck through construction. They feature a three band pre-amp, single MEC J in the neck position and splittable MEC twin-J at the bridge position. These basses also feature a push/pull slap contour, Warwick two-piece bridge, semi-hollow body, and f-holes. This is Warwick's flagship model, and it shows!

The first is a fretless in the honey violin finish with a quilted top and blank plank ebony fretboard. This is a one of a kind unique instrument.

SOLD - Second up is its fretted counterpart with beautiful birdseye maple top. SOLD

Both are amazing instruments.

You're pick ~~$2750~~ ~~$2645~~ ~~$2595~~ ~~$2545~~ $2495 O.B.O. shipped in the CONUS.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for looking!

If the finish on the fretless was on the fretted it'd be on it's way to my house, those are gorgeous.

Beautiful!!! Question for you: are you sure they're both 2000 LTDs? How can one tell? It's the one Warwick bass labeled as an LTD that I don't understand. If they were 5 stringers, they would be on their way to me ;-)

I think this particular "LTD" model confuses everyone! I've done a lot of research on it, and tried to be pretty certain before listing it in good faith.

Here's what I know. They are both from 2000 based on the serials. I have a letter on the Fretless from Dana B Goods stating its a 2000 LTD. Every actual LTD 2000 Infinity I've seen has been similiar to these two (not like the prototype).

I've seen some say that the limited had open pole pieces and passive electronics.... but from what I've read, that was the prototype, and I haven't seen a picture of one like that outside of the promotional photo.

I personally believe the 2000 LTD Infinitys are simply the first batch from 2000. This was the first year they were introduced and at the time were branded as the 2000 LTD. They started the "real" LTDs in 2001, and made the Infinitys themselves another model (albeit a very nice one). I could very well be wrong, but this is what everything I've found indicates.

Now, with that said, when all is said and done, LTD or not, these two are a pair of stunning, amazing Warwick Infinity NTs built in 2000.

I hope this helps. If I can elaborate more on anything, please let me know.

Thanks! I wasn't questioning the post to be honest, but really wanted more information, because like you said, this one is the most confusing LTD. I love warwicks and try to learn as much as possible about them.

If only I had 5K to spend I'd give them BOTH a home.

I didn't take it that way, just wanted to provide as much info as I could. I was also extremely confused by this too, so I know how you feel!

I am willing to make a deal on the pair, so if you win the lotto or come in to a windfall let me know

.

Also, they both have hard cases they would ship in.

GYang · #12 08-05-2011, 12:33 PM

Cool.

Manfloozy · #13 08-06-2011, 02:50 PM

If you're interested, make me an offer!

I'll also consider a trade + cash. Something in the Stingray HH, Fender American... etc range...

Plantbrain · #14 08-07-2011, 05:03 PM

How do the F holes sound without the amp?
Also, what is the weight of these?

I've been looking at some NT thumbs and like the pu's on this as the F holes interest me.
I'm also interested in 4er's only.

thanks

So I like the f holes a lot personally and think they give these a very resonant quality for an electric bass. They arent going to give you the same volume as an ABG, but I think they lend heavily to the character of the Infinity. It is VERY articulate with an acoustic like attack and amazing midrange detail. it's hard to describe but you can "feel" the semi-hollow aspect of the instrument when you play it.

Here are some good videos to give you an idea on the sound:

Bump for two sweet basses. That Norwood Fisher link you put up - W O W... "Hang Loose" - not for the feint-hearted...
Good luck with the sale.

Yeah... no kidding!

Thanks for the kind words!

Price drop $2695 O.B.O.

These are GREAT basses, but I'm ready to move on.

Manfloozy · #19 08-12-2011, 01:31 PM

The fretted Infinity is sold pending payment.

The one off Fretless is still available, and now $2645 O.B.O!!!

No more Warwick love? I might be able to swing a 2:1, "Dirty Blonde" 2006 LTD Thumb BO & 2004 Streamer CT for your Infinity? I will say that never owning a fretless or an Infinity makes this quite the gamble... but I would SO LOVE to try it!!!!!
