Hi,
I'm selling a VERY nice 5 String Fretless Bass.
It's a Warwick $$ Corvette Fretless 5 String Bass.
It was made in Germany.

It comes in the Warwick "Rockcase" HSC. (Like an Anvil case for the Bass.)

It has two "MEC" Jazzman Pickups.
Active or Passive operation.
Series, Parallel, or single Coil Operation switch. Per pickup.
Two band active EQ.

Ovangkol Neck.
Thick slab of Ebony for the Fingerboard.

I wish I could say it's un-blemished, but it's not. It's been played.

So, while there's nothing deep or serious, it's too bad it wasn't cared for by the owners before me.
I still haven't put flatwounds on it. There is so light stratches from Roundwounds being put on it.
There's some scratches, again, not deep at all, on the body.
Some people's kids...!
(They guy did say he Special Ordered this bass right from the Factory.)

It also comes with owners Manual and build sheet.

"The Sound of Wood" does come to mind when I play it.
Due to the heavy Anvil-type case shipping is a bit pricey.

I'm asking for $1,200, shipped insured CONUS. O.B.O.
I might be interested in a trade.
Paypal is fine.

Thanks for looking, I just KNOW there's a great Fretless player who needs this Bass more than I do!
Here it is!
Thanks again!

Another Update: I finally got this Bass into the shop. Jim Harryman, a certified Fender Guitar Tech, went over it. tightened the Truss Rod, Set Intonation, etc. This Bass is AWESOME!

That looks like a nice Bass. American made, right? Does it still have a Case? Case Candy? Does the Pick guard fit well? (It looks a little funny by the Controls) Dents/Dings?
Tell me more about it...I'm kinda digging it! THANKS!
More pics. Not a ding or scratch anywhere, anything funny looking is reflection of the background.
AVRI= American Vintage Re-Issue. Exact replica of 1974 version. Passive- vol,vol, tone.

Yes, OHSC. Not a mark on the case either, never left the house. All case candy also, leather strap, truss wrench, polishing cloth, hang tags, warranty card, extra strings....

It sounds like a fair trade. I only play 5 Strings nowadays, and I'm strapped for cash for the shipping...but I'm sure I can scrape it together. I like your Bass. Let's do it!

Hey man, I may have to pass for now. My first Fretless I think I should invest in a 4 string.
Thanks
