The large disparity between their new and used prices would be my guess... having a hard time selling new ones. Plus, the market seemed pretty saturated the last few years. Probably not a bad thing.
I found this used at a Guitar Center for 400$
A 5 string Fortress One
I traded in my old peavey bxp for it, and payed the rest.
It was dirty and it needs new pots and certain parts, but i'm going to invest my time in bringing back the bass to look like new.

Ah I know I did, i saw it and only had 130$ on me, but i decided to put it on layaway, and trade in my Peavey Cirrus bxp, and some spare cash to pay it off.
Now to get those replacement parts... Anyone know a good online retailer to get them from?

Awesome bass and an equally awesome deal!!
Here's me playing live a few months ago at a metal festival in Brisbane with my band D9.
Photographer managed to snap me playing while a random jumped up on stage before stage diving.
The funny thing is that i saw him stage dive but it wasn't until i saw this photo that i realised he had grabbed my bass.
I know it looks like I'm looking straight at him but i really had no idea.
Can i be part of the TB Warwick Club?

Hey folks,
My buddy and I are having the same issues with our Warwicks. On 2 of my basses (Thumb Ltd 2006 and 'Vette 6 string), the tuners are shifting. Specifically, the shaft on which the string is wound is being pulled toward the nut. I've tightened the hex bolt , but it doesn't help.
This is happening on my friend's Thumb BO 6 as well. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Mr. Pickles

Hey Mr.Pickles.
It sounds like your tuners may fail at some point in the future,it's hard to say.But if it were my bass,I'd seriously look at replacing them so they dont leave you in the lurch at the worst possible time.I've heard of tuner shafts acutually snapping,but this's usually after the bass has fallen flat on it's face & left a fracture in the casting.
You can replace them with Gotoh's,Hipshot or Warwick tuners.If you want the Warwick tuners,any Warwick dealer can get them in for you,or you can contact USA's Warwick distributor at;
