I am looking for a German Warwick $$. Preferably a 5, but a 4 is okay. Thanks! |

Picked up one recently though secondhand and holy shit I love the sound of it . Thanks, man! That’s a player, for sure. bob__johnson wrote: Buried in GC, so YMMV: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Warwick/2015-PRO-SERIES-Corvette-Double-Buck-4-String-Left-Handed-Electric-Bass-Guitar.gc Thanks! I did see that one. It just looks a little beat up. There was another on Guitar Center that had some gouges in the finish near the pickups. I went to call them about it the next morning, but it was gone. |

What do you think a fair price would be for one in good shape? These things run over three grand new here in the US, which I really can't justify at the moment. There is one in the Netherlands for €1000, which I would have already bought, but the seller does not offer shipping. |

Owning one of these that I got for about a grand used a few years ago, I freaking love it, and $1,500 at GC is a pretty good price I think. The ergonomics are fantastic, and I feel like it has more useable settings among all those switches and knobs than other basses with similar controls. I bought and sold a Stingray Special HH because the $$ did Stingray tones better than it did. It was also easier to play, having a narrower neck and flatter fretboard. Lighter and slimmer, too. Every time one pops up on Reverb or eBay, I check for a wenge neck, which is the only thing I'd change about it (I loved the wenge neck on the Fortress that went back and forth between Paulo and me a couple times). |

Yeah, that would be idea, but they seem very rare. Supposedly they used Wenge starting in 2012 or 2013, but that was apparently pretty short-lived because even the 2018-ish models I have seen have Ovangkol. *shrug* I have even considered putting together a Warmoth build as a Double-buck copy. |

Yeah, I've only seen one or two. A couple years ago there was one on Craigslist not too far from here, and the guy was asking a totally reasonable $1,800 I think. I wasn't flush at the time and had recently bought a bass or two, so I tried waiting him out a while, and then it disappeared. Ah well. |

There is one in the Netherlands for €1000, which I would have already bought, but the seller does not offer shipping. I paid 850 euros for mine. It's a 2009 one with an Ovangkol neck (but the neck is really nice, on par with the '95 Fortress One I own that has a wenge neck). In really good condition. I'd say between 750 and 1000 euros is a good price, which is what I usually come across. When I sold my basses on Reverb they've generally gone for more than that. Regarding the dude who's selling the bass: ask him if he'd be willing to ship via courier (I've used FedEx via parcelparcel in the past and it was both cheap, fast and secure). You mean this bass I think: https://link.marktplaats.nl/m2130993152?utm_source=android_social&utm_content=vip&utm_medium=android_social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons |

I created an account to message the seller, but I am unable to log in. |

I'd prefer a Wenge neck, too. But, if this thing here were to pop up in a lefty, I'd snatch it up in a second, Wenge or not:  That's a Macassar Ebony top, and it is HOT! |
