Hey All,
For sale is a very rare 1996 Warwick Fortress Flashback 5 String in Red. It has the 2-tek bridge, MEC lipsticks and passive electronics, Ash body, Wenge neck and board, and killer vintage looks. These are VERY hard to find. There hasn't been one for sale on Talkbass in over 3 years, and there haven't been any recently on eBay. Bass is in very good condition. The pickups have some wear on them (as do all the flashbacks), and there are a few small imperfections.
I will include the straplocks that come built into the bass, and the strap if you really want it. If shipping, I will ship in a softshell case unless the buyer wants to pay extra for me to purchase a new hardshell case to ship in. Shipping/Packing must be paid by the buyer.
Sold! - $2500. Also open to trades for stuff, especially recording gear. API 500 series racks and modules, outboard compressors, preamps, EQ, basses + cash, etc. Let's make a deal!
Pics here are from my cell. Hi res photos further down the thread.
