trujo777 · #1 10-02-2009, 09:44 AM

I have several Warwicks for sale/trade. I am consolidating their threads into this one.

Basses:
1.- Warwick Fortress One 5 string bass

Selling my beloved Fortress One 5 string bass. flamed maple body, wenge neck, MEC active electronics and active pick ups. wenge fretoard. has a couple of small scratches. beautiful black stain and sounds amazing I just need the money due to financial problems.

right now was gold hardware. asking $1050 or best reasonable offer. here are the specs
http://www.warwick.de/modules/news/N...ID=14484&cl=EN

it has Dunlop recessed straplocks.

-----------------------------
2.- Warwick Dolphin Pro 2.

Due to finances I need to part from it . Very rare white high glosss finish Dolphin Pro 2. chrome hardware. maple old style fast neck. 2 band eq. active and pick up pan. great lows and jazzy sounds. if this was a 5er it would not be here. it also has a brass nut (or JAN1 which it is the name oft he brass nut). I think the body was made of Ash or maple. the neck is maple and the retboard has wnge so it has that awesome growl from Warwicks. Awesome slap tone and fingered sounds.

Dolphin Price drop from $1299 to $1150 plus shipping OBO

has a few dings on the finish but barely noticeable, pics taken at pm so the bass looks lighter than it really is.
-----------------------

GENERAL:

Prices are suggested or best offer.
The prices are plus shipping (if needed to be shipped). I Will ship wherever you want me to as long as you pay shipping (worldwide and within the US).

Most of these come with gig bags and also have some Hardshell cases I can add for additional $$s.

I have way more pics than I am posting so let me know what you are interested in and the email address to send you those pics

I might consider trades on these but depends on the offers. GAS sing for Marcus Miller, Fodera, lakland USA, Valenti, Elrick, Warrior, Pedulla, other nice basses

what are the main differences between the Warwick Dolphin Pro I and Warwick Dolphin Pro II?

trujo777 · #12 11-20-2009, 12:32 PM

the Pro 1 is neck through and the pro 2 is bolt-on. also the pro 2 is limited run of 250.

jnevi9nr · #13 11-20-2009, 12:49 PM

250? wow! i need to think about this.

engage757 · #14 11-22-2009, 09:29 AM

can you help me out here Trujo? I love Wicks, but one I haven't ever played is a dolphin. does it compare to any other Wicks in sounds and playability? meaning, which other bass do you think you could compare it to?

thanks, very interested.

The Dolphin pro due to the body and neck (maple) makes it sound like a Jazz bass with awesome slap and popping sounds.. however due to the wenge fretboard you can also enjoy and dial the warwick growl.
I have tried most of the standard models (all but the Katana and Alien) of Warwicks and I can coimpare it to a jazzed up Proline or Fortress. there is no Warwick that sounds like it due to the maple neck.

it is truly an unique bass and since only 250 were ever made it is considered a "Special" warwick and a collector's item.
I could say it is a JAzz bass on steroids and with a growl.

if it was a 5er I woulod keep it.
also it DOES NOT HAVE ANY NECKDIVE as some other Wic models.

Really? Didn't know that. I have a teal blue Pro 2 that I bought new in '93 or so. New old stock, I imagine, as I don't really know the date of manufacture.

trujo777 · #19 12-15-2009, 07:33 AM

The Dolphin is out of Bass Emporium. Still deciding to keep or not.
