Warwick ALIEN 4 NT The Alien 2006 - Natural - Made in Germany (Saxony)

Warwick The Alien 4, NT, Natural Transparent Satin, Made in Germany (Saxony)

Attention. This bass is not to be confused with "Alien Standard" or "Alien Deluxe". This is the Masterversion "The Alien" with exquisite wood selection, e.g. AAAA sitka spruce, pointed horn at the bottom and the solid wood border around the sound hole, incl. the height adjustable nut and the metal string suspension at the bridge . The three models "Standard", "Deluxe" and "The Alien" are now made in China for more than 10 years.

I offer a flawless (MINT condition) acoustic bass by WARWICK, model THE ALIEN, with 4 strings, in natural satin, Made in Germany from 2006. This bass was produced a short time later and is still produced only in China. Here is an unique opportunity to get hold of a real "Alien" still made in Saxony (Germany) in top condition, see photo inside with serial number.

The bass is technically as well as optically on a "new condition level", so no dings and dongs, no dents, no scratches, no cracks, no deformations etc. The electronics run without noise. If needed, the Fishman system can be easily replaced or even upgraded due to the standardized size. On the bass are still the original strings, which sound fresh and clear. This instrument has been played very little by the owner and has been treated with extreme care. The attached pictures show the condition of the instrument for sale.

The bass tone is powerful and can hold its own well in an ensemble with acoustic guitars. The 24 frets allow for pitch extended playing into the frequency range of a guitar. The built-in thumb rest is a welcome help, especially for a "finger player", which you soon won't want to do without.

The bass has been professionally checked, cleaned and adjusted prior to sale. Besides a personal pickup, the instrument can be shipped Europe-wide with GLS. Besides the rockbag, a soft case is also available. On request, I can deliver the bass with new hardcase, instead of softcase. Surcharge about 75 €. For further questions I am at your disposal.

The sale is from private hand. Payment can be made securely with paypal and buyer protection. You can make me an offer too.
