Warwick Vampyre NT Bass "Nirvana black" coloured oil finish

I once had the 5 string version of this bass, and it was absolutely superb in everyway - unfortunately I couldn't get on with it being a 5 string (!) so vowed to look out for a 4 string version........ This has been my main gigging bass for several months now and is set up to perfection (multi adjustable bridge, "adjust-a-nut" and very accurate truss rod makes it possible to get a very fine-tuned and individual set up)

 

 

This Warwick Vampyre NT Ltd is the top of the range Warwick bass (signed by the maker on the back of the headstock) and is in very good condition. The specification is superb - thru neck, inch thick quilted AAA maple top, active electronics, ebony fingerboard, bell brass frets (silver/bronze alloy), height adjustable nut, custom bass clef fret markers - the list goes on. 

The playability is fantastic and the sound extremely versatile - you sense the inherent quality the moment you pick it up.

This bass is not mint - it has a few small marks on it as it has been gigged, but it plays and sounds out of this world. The list price on these are well over £3000 but are available new in the internet for just under the £3000 mark, but why pay that when you can get this example for so much less?

 

 

 

Please read below what Warwick has to say about it.....

The Vampyre NT 

Can you feel that ominous "tone" in the air? The Vampyre NT has risen. The sculpted contours of the fiendish body are sure to captivate anyone who looks upon it. An ash body is capped with a striking, 1" quilted maple top complete with a neck-through design and wide cutaways. The flamed maple neck is joined to an ebony fingerboard adorned with intricate "f" clef inlays of paua abalone. The longer horn (with rear-mounted strap button) helps it to achieve a surprisingly perfect balance while remaining menacingly stylish. 

Alluring and seductive looks are not the only attribute the Vampyre NT possesses; its vast tonal range sounds even more enticing. Equipped with both an active bridge MEC Twin Jazz pickup, a single active MEC Jazz neck pickup, and 3-band, active MEC electronics, it faithfully serves its master to produce a nearly infinite possibility of tones. It delivers deep, throaty lows, to edgy mids, and even clear, biting highs. Truly the Sound of Wood with an edge, the Vampyre NT awaits your command!
