FS/FT 2006 Ltd Edition Warwick Dirty Blonde Thumb

I'm sadly tossing up this absolute gem for sale or possible trade. It's a WONDERFUL bass, but it's just not seeing the play time it deserves. sounds and plays amazingly, just had a pro set up.


Asking $1350 shipped



As far as trades go, I'm always up for offers. But in all reality, the only things I KNOW I'd want are

Fender American deluxe jazz with the block inlays

or

Musicman stingray 5 HS

Other possibilities would include a 70's jazz bass.

I'm absolutely insane about the newest Fender deluxe in white with the black pearl inlays

I lean towards 5's but in this case 4 or 5's are nice.

As always, hit me up with any questions.

The amazing inlays

It's 1.5" at the nut. The neck isn't your typical Warwick feel. Its not quite as thin as a jazz but its close (depth-wise). Its not a thick baseball bat neck.
Most of my buddies didn't like Warwicks because of the bat necks, but fell in love with this.
Overall in general, I'd say its a bit thicker jazz neck. But not big n chunky.

 

Added lots of spec info to original post.

Electronics are stock 3 band EQ, vol, pickup balance. Push/pull active/passive on Vol knob.

 

yea, I was extremely shocked about the neck dive too. I expected it to be there...but it's well balanced indeed!

 

No thanks, not a bass I'd see me using often

 

Some people have been asking about condition. Sadly I bought the bass with these in it, but on the positive, I didn't add any of my own
They're relatively small, the ones in the back I had to try and get the light at the right angle.

Aside from these 3, I couldn't find anything else. If I do while I'm scouring for them again, I'll surely make a note.

 

Headed to Bass club Chicago for the first time bump

 

Update:

Found my next bass, its on layaway. Warwick is now for sale only. But dropping price $100 for fast sale.

$1250 shipped (firm)

 

I'd say definitely brighter than darker.
