    Well, I know this is not the most sought after model by Warwick.....nevertheless it is a wonderful sounding and looking bass. It is in very, very good condition and was handselected for his fantastic AAAA maple top. It got knobs from the Warwick custom shop with inlays matching the position markers (fish eye), Dunlop strap locks and golden hardware. The neck through construction makes it sing! Color is natural.

    I would consider trades like:

    Spector 5 string
    Warwick 5 string
    MM 5 string
    or make an offer

    or 1300 $US shipped in conus

    If you are seriously interested, send me a mail and I will take photos.
     
  2. what are the specs on this bass?

    From the Warwick page:


    Katana NT

    Just like the sword that it is named for, the Katana neck-thru bass cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter! The body features a swamp ash back and a flamed maple top, and the neck comes standard with a Tigerstripe Ebony fingerboard with custom Mother-of-Pearl 'Fisheye' inlays.

    The unique body design has a sculpted upper bout that makes this one of the most comfortable basses to play. To hone the sound of this incredible axe even more, Warwick loaded it with active MEC Gold J-style pickups and an MEC 3-band onboard preamp.

    The weight is 10 pound if my bathroom scale doesn't suck too much and the profile is what is written out in the specs - the condition is mint with less then 20 playing hours
