Cool FS: Ultimate Metal Bass!! - Warwick Vapyre SN 4 string!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Are you into metal music??? Feeling emo and cant find a bass that suits METAL music??
Are you posting useless threads on this forum on "Whats the best bass for METAL??"
Are you looking through those posts to see what you can get to get the most of your metal music???

Well heres your chance to own the ultimate METAL bass ever!!!

In all seriousness. Not just for metal but this warwick has lots of growl and bite! The J/TJ setup is very versatile and you can get tons of tones all day with this bass!

You can play praise and worship music, jazz, blues, rock, R&B, and of course METAL!!!

This is a 2005 Warwick Vampyre SN 4 string bass. I would give this bass a good 8/10 in condition but 10/10 in playability! There are few scratches in the back but they were touched up so you can barely notice it unless you know what youre looking for!

The bass features a very high gloss black paint straight from the factory! This is THE METAL Bass!! It is fairly light for a Warwick. The body is made of Maple, set neck Ovankol neck with wenge fretboard. 2 band MEC pre with J/TJ pickup configuration. Pull the volume to go passive, pull the bass tone knob to split the bridge pickup into a single coil!!

The bass weighs in at: 9.2lbs. The neck is thick but very fast imho. Im used to warwick necks. Its not the newer slim necks but your nice chunky warwick/spector neck! I believe the nut is still 1.5" though.

These basses are quite rare and you wont see a lot of these floating in the classfieds there! Heres your chance to own a piece of warwick history, the epitome of METAL basses! Will come in a HSC or brand new warwick rockbag. Your choice!

Have you seen the new Lady GAGA HBO show? Her bassists plays a 5 string version of this bass!! Awesome bass!


Price: $1800.00 shipped!!


sorry about bad pictures. Its hard to capture this bass on film with my limited photography skills and camera. The glass black is especially hard to photograph.

Warwick Vampyre does not approve of Comic Sans. That is all.

bump for having a sweet bass that actually looks really good with neons, which usually look awful (imho) on any bass i've ever seen them on. nice price too.

I hope your sale goes through because I really, REALLY want this but can't afford it. (I had already decided I was going to get a Bongo next month) It would take me a month to come up with that money. Lol

Somebody's getting a beautiful bass at an awesome price!

I just pictured this bass with a new finish. Same color but right between the pickups a burst of lightning that spread all across the front. Hmmm

I usually hate black basses but this high gloss black is something! The way it reflects it's surrounding is amazing.
