For sale Warwick Fortress One - wenge neck

TALL&STOUT said:

1998 made in Germany Warwick Fortress One bass for sale or trade.

This is a real gem from Warwick. Not only does it have the all wenge neck which is the easiest and most organic feeling neck in my opinion, but it also has a very pretty glossy tiger flamed orange maple body. The color seems to change based on the light you are in, real vibrant and orange in the sun and muted and dark/burnt orange inside.

Aside from the blemish on the front of the body (shown in the last picture) and the previous owner deliberately scuffing up the pickup covers to make them look more matte, this bass is in amazing condition for being 22 years old.
Sounds great with the MEC active electrons and P/J pickups. I will include a brand new Gator GB-4G-BASS gig bag as well with the sale.

$1000 cash/venmo and pickup in San Diego
$1100 shipped CONUS via UPS

trades: I am not looking for much since I just sold my Dingwall, Fender, EBMM, Sandberg and a bunch of other great basses, but it doesnt hurt to offer a trade. Plus or minus cash is ok. Mainly I would be interested in an old Warwick Dolphin, Chapman MLB1 Fan Fret Dave Hollingworth, Mayones Viking, and any other bass that has a thin neck. Cheers!

By “thin neck” do you mean shallow depth or narrow width?

Cutter8, it is both shallow and narrow, similar to a jazz neck. I have always preferred the 1998 and older wenge Warwick necks as they are extremely playable in my opinion. It isn't silly thin like my '87 Thumb but it is still on the thinner side, prior to the baseball necks they started doing in he 2000s.
