I have to tell someone

[fiveoffour]

I never post on here, but I need to tell bass players this.
I just bought an absolutely beautiful, 9/10 condition fretless Warwick Corvette for 300 dollars. It was built in 1998. I don't know if this guy was on drugs, or what, but I am absolutely busting over this guitar. I took it to my luthier, and when I told him what I paid, his eye's just about popped out of his head.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THIS GUITAR FOR 300 DOLLARS.

Was it stolen?

 

[leurw]

Wow. '98 would give you a wenge neck, too. Great price. What pickup config? was it a Standard / jazz?

 

[Gorn]

Was it stolen?

How would he know?

 

[MEKer]

I don't believe you because no pic=no bass.

But willing to believe. I desperately NEED to believe....and I will as soon as the pics arrive.
Then I will exclaim in thunderous tones,
"Hallelujah, a score worthy of Hallelujah!"

Do tell........I've been enjoying the used market and the effects the heroin plague has on it, for several years now.

 

[eastcoasteddie]

How would he know?

Hypothetical question....

 

[Killed_by_Death]

Which part of his eyes almost popped out?

 

[fiveoffour]

I'm at work, but when I get home I'll show the pics. Guy was THRILLED to get 300, so I'm guessing he was a heroin addict. Sad but certainly possible...standard pickups, and yeah it's all wenge.

 

[hondo4life]

I'll give you $350 for it

 

[lustersilk]

No Pics = No Bass!

 

[Steadfast]

$375...

 

[Ellery]

Good for you bro, nice score!

 

[azfatboy]

$375.01 !!!!!!!

SOLD!!!!

 

[fiveoffour]

The other Corvette is a 98 as well. The Fender

is a Jazz Deluxe V from 96. Paid 750 for that baby in the ninth grade.

 

[SaucyJackBass]

I have that exact bass and I paid over twice what you did. Love it. It needs a good pre-amp to get the full tone out of it, but it has great fretless sound.

Serious beauty! Great score
