Recently acquired this in a trade as an attempt at fretless, alas a heavily inebriated gentleman trying to get into his house at 3am would have an easier time of finding the key than I can on this!

Specs as follows:

2007 Sei Flamboyant Fretless 5
Specs
Body Style - Headed Flamboyant Offset 5 string Fretless
Fingerboard - Ebony
Neck - Flamed Maple with Purpleheart stringers
Body Wood - Mahogany
Facing Woods - Birdseye maple
Circuit - Schack 18v
Pickups - Nordstrand Fatstacks
Veneer - Dark

General Options
- Blue side Leds
- Tuning pegs slightly angled towards body
- Strap button behind top horn
- Semi Lined
- Gold hardware
- Full facing on front
- Schaller straplocks
- Carbon fibre rods

A bass of fantastic quality, gorgeous neck and electronics package is fantastic. The bass has blue LEDs running down the side of the neck, not something I particularly look for in an instrument but a nice touch. Bar a little unavoidable string wear on the fingerboard, the bass is in A+ condition, a real stunner. Pictures do not do the birdseye maple justice.

Cash sale £1600 ono.

Another one of those "I wish I had the cash-basses".

I wish I had a 5-string to trade...
 
Cheers :)

She is very much still available, cash or Warwick trades happily considered!
 
could you be interested by a trade with a Vigier fretted Passion III 5 strings ? in new condition
 
Ah, I assume you are the fellow selling such an instrument on Basschat.co.uk? If so, then I would be interested but the extra inch scale length has apparently scared you off ;)

It's 35", by the way. I'v always wondered why Warwick don't offer a 35" option, really necessary for a serious B! (my slanty fret Dinger has a 37" B!)

It was true for other brands, I remember a Yamaha TRB 5 it was awesome. But most of 34" Warwick basses have even tighter low B's :-)
