thanks motomo,

yeah, the bass is really a beauty, and it plays and sounds good too, but there a several reasons why i want to sell it
1) a buddy of me recently got a ernie ball musicman stingray and i fell in love with it, its a different sound and feeling than with the warwick, the warwick is not bad, its very good actually, but i want someting different now and i dont want to have 3 basses at home
2) 4 strings and shorter scale makes it easier to play for me as guitar player, this long scale can really be a struggling sometimes
3) as bass is not my main instrument, i play it only occasionally, mostly for recording, and restringing is more expensive on a 5 than a 4 string bass
4) i never play the lowest h string, the only use for it is to hold my thumb on it while playing.

Thats the same reason why i prefer a 5 over a 4 string.Thumb rest isn't my cup of tea. And i find it easier to play on 5 string necks.

I agree though with all the rest you said.

Damn its so beautiful
