For sale FS: Relist with Big Price Drop: Warwick Fortress One P/J

Free

Details

$560shipped OBO. I originally had this listed as a R&B model, as i thought the "R&B" just referred to a p/j setup. This is the ACTIVE model. i'm gonna cut and paste the following from my original listing:

Alright, there is a lot to talk about with this one. This is a '96 Warwick Fortress One. In 2002 I dropped this bass and broke the original neck, along with smashing the original electronics and breaking the body a bit. I had my luthier order me a new neck and electronics from warwick. The pickups are the originals. The neck is dated 2002 . The electronics, I'm assuming are from the same year as the neck, as they were ordered from Warwick. The repairs to the body were done and are very solid, however, i didn't want to spend the money at the time to make it cosmetically perfect, as I already had $800 into the part/repairs alone. Also, as you can see from the pictures the finish is worn away above the P pickup. Basically it looks like i paid Bill Nash to do a relic job I did it the old fashioned way though, one gig at a time. The nice thing is, the original neck was beat to crap and i stopped playing this bass not too long after I got the new neck.

One more issue that I was going to resolve before selling....the volume/passive-active pot is acting up.....it seems to need pushed on a bit to keep it from cutting out. I intended to resolve this before selling it, but i'm gonna leave that up to the buyer. shouldn't be a big fix.

good question. i don't have a bathroom scale. its on the heavy side. i'll see what i can do about weighing it at my neighbors....
 
trades for high end pedals + cash, etc. shoot a trade by me if you'd like. i do need some cash, but i love high end fuzzes, i'd love an octron, maybe a compressor.
 
Is this the chunky neck or the slim profile neck?

Would you be interested in a hi-end rack effects unit? I have a TC Electronic Fireworx available.
 
chunky....and replied.

whatever issue was going on with the pot seems to have gone away. i sprayed it with some duster and i can't for the life of me get it to cut out by pushing on it. anyone wanna make a reasonable offer?
 
and another.....can't believe this is still here. pot issue is resolved. plays great. what gives?? trades???
