FS - Upgraded GWB35, Gary Willis Five String Fretless

Sign in to disble this ad
Price drop to $550.

For sale is my GWB35 that I had upgraded by Bass Specialties. The p/u and preamp were replaced with a Bartolini p/u and an Aguilar OBP-2 two band preamp. I have the original parts.

Straplocks included.

Bass comes with original hardshell case.

There is a chip around the screw hole for the ramp. I've included a picture.

I'm asking $575. Actual shipping to be paid by the buyer.

I'm not looking for any bass trades, but I am looking for a QSC PLX1804.

How does the new electronics differ from the original GWB sound?

Well, the main problem with the original electronics and p/u was output level. The signal was pretty weak. Tone was ok.

The new setup has a greater signal output which allows more tonal flexibility. It just sounds better. Sorry that I can't give a better explanation.

Here's a thread that might help: Gary Willis sig. bass (black one)

Is this insanely cheap, or am I missing something?

There is a higher model Gary Willis signature model that lists considerably higher than this one ($1,000+ more).

While I think I've listed the bass at a very fair price, please don't confuse this with the GWB1005.

Thanks for looking.

Bump for a price drop. Also, I purchased a QSC PLX1804 off of craigslist yesterday so I don't need to sell this bass any longer. I'll leave it up for a couple of more days.

The pics are in color. lol. It's a black bass with a grey background. I can take pictures with a white background if you prefer.

The bass looks just like the one shown on Ibanez's web site: http://www.ibanez.com//BassGuitars/model-GWB35

The only exception being the chip around the screw hole on the ramp; for which I've shown a pretty good picture.

If you PM me an e-mail address I can send the original pictures.
