The '91 did not have a separate battery compartement. But after placing the Noll 3-band there isn't place left in the electronics compartement

Every early 90's stage 1 i've seen has a seperate battery compartiment! But all of them different.
Mine has one too, but it has stock MEC electronics.

Early Nobby without the serial number plate. Is it just missing or did the early models not have one?

all should have had a serial number plate..looks like one of the first models (rosewood neck)..according to HPW those necks were prone to „twisting“ /warping...therefore, they changed to wenge...start of Warwick‘s „success story“ (wenge necks):);)
I would check that bass before buying:cool:

Lacquer looking quite a bit scratched. You would need better pictures, also from the 'headstock'. Price is ok-ish.
The electronics compartement cover and screws don't look right...

That's not it, the routes and cavaties on this look like they have been made bigger to accomodate different hardware.
The only Warwick I have that has that much empty space between the pickups and bridge is one I swapped bridges and pickups with.
