Oh, joy. Warwick has just changed their U.S. Distributor AGAIN. When they did this 2-3 years, it just about killed the product line here in the U.S. I see no reason to expect a better transition this time around. I'm out!
So I'm blowing out the last of my Warwick inventory, and I'm done playing games. The price you see is the price I need. Each price represents a healthy loss for me, so please no haggling and no trades. Sorry, I'm just being straight up about it.
$2250 for a DOLPHIN?!?!? Come on!! 
I've also been doing a lot of Warwick parts as favors to folks around the world... I'm afraid I'm out of that bidness now, too.

I knew things where gonna change with this new switch and having been a Warwick player for the last 5 years I could see the change last time this happen... parts harder to find, dealers getting tired of BS, lack-luster support, etc.
Hope everything works out for you and you get these basses sold. Good luck to you!

Yeah, I'm bummed. Warwick really does make a good bass. But between the weak dollar (which drives their prices up here) and the craziness on the distribution front, it's just become a really difficult thing to sell them.
Time to start the search for another small, domestic maker who's got some good buzz going... |

Fretless Roscoes
Fretless Roscoes w Jazz PU's
Fretted Roscoes
Fretted Roscoes w Jazz PU's
4,5,6 string models of each Body style, body wood, pre and pickup configuration.
Do the math Mr. Engineer  You got 1978 different possibilities with Roscoes.
That reminds me of two things; #1 I gotta get you one of these cool engineer hats, 
and #2 The combination factor reminds me of this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVXX6NFpcT8
Note the bassist already has one of them cool hats!
God Bless, Ray

Or, what about Veillette Guitars, they make some classy stuff, or Martin Keith Guitars who, coincidentally, also works for Veilette.

But, all my new gear funds are heading Greg's way for the next couple months already.
