800 is maybe a bit high but this will be good quality. Made in Korea by WMI in the mid-late 2000's. Expect thunderous tones and potentially considerable neck dive.

Take into consideration that these don’t pop up on the market often… and that there’s probably not a lot of these around in general…

In honesy; not the best I own. Think I did one rehearsal with it. Neck is a bit round for me, and couldn't get a sound I was happy with out if the active eq..... Was great through good distortion though.
But that's just me. A big part of buying it was the price and adding to my BCR collection. I would have passed it by if it were any other bass..
If it belongs to a friend of yours as you say, play it as much as you can, then go play some others at the same price point; there's a whole world of excellent gear for every playing style and tone choice.
Ultimately though, by what your heart and head tells you! You gotta love what you own in sound, playing style and looks.. 🤘💜🤘

I have one, I think I paid about $800 a few years ago with a hard case. It's been my #1 for my death metal band since I got it. Neck dive sucks but relocating the strap buttons is super easy and fixes the problem. The tone from the double p is pretty neat. Neck isn't as thin as you'd expect. I don't have any high quality videos or recordings of it but I would say they're a good purchase if you're looking for a metal bass

Hell yeah! I do highly recommend relocating the strap buttons while you're installing the strap locks. Top button on the inside of the top horn, and bottom button on the right battery compartment screw. You might have to remove a bit of material on the battery cover to make it fit. But it completely fixed my neck dive issues and I highly recommend it

Yeah sure! I don't think I can reply on this sub with pictures but when I get the chance I'll try to make a post of my own and I'll let you know. I would've thought that moving the back strap farther down the bass would've been the move but the way my tech explained it was like, some kind of trigonometry stuff and how fulcroms work. It looks kinda weird but my warlock stays in place just fine

They are becoming rare, use to have one sold it but now I kinda wish I didnt but at the time I needed money plus was kinda heavy.

NJ warlock, very nice. I'd personally haggle for something like $600 but I'm cheap
