Ish x Warwick Dolphin SN TCS Custom Shop Endangered Species 4-String Bass Wenge Fretboard

Enjoy a 25% discount on this custom Ish run for a limited time only!

After 20 years, these Dolphins have been freed from captivity! Ish and Warwick have collaborated to bring you a run of 17 Warwick Dolphin SN's that were built 20 years ago but discontinued shortly after. Ish's Founder discovered that the bodies were being stowed away at Warwick's German factory for two decades, waiting to see player's hands - and we decided we had to take action. We are calling this once-in-a-lifetime run the "Endangered Species" since it will never happen again!

Included in the 17 piece limited run are basses in various configurations including:

• (10) 4 string, natural oil finish with wenge board   $6605
• (4) 4 string, satin black finish with wenge board   $6940
• (1) 4 string, satin black finish with ebony board   $6940
• (1) 5 string, natural oil finish with wenge board   $7035
• (1) 5 string, satin black finish with ebony board   $7585

Don't forget, Dolphins are discontinued from the Warwick German-made lineup everywhere besides Masterbuilt. If these basses were spec'd in Masterbuilt they would be approximately $12-14,000 along with a 2 year build time. This is your only opportunity to own a new Dolphin for less than Masterbuilt prices, and available now!

While we poke fun at using dolphin puns, we are serious about the environment and the protection of the valuable plants and animals the Earth offers us. As part of our Ish Gives program, we are donating a portion of the proceeds to The Ocean Cleanup, who is using cutting edge technology to clean millions of tons of trash from the Earth's oceans, making a safer place for our porpoise friends.
