Did you look at the back of the bass?? Very strange!! Also it weighs just over 12lbs - ouch ! Yes, Grangur, would love to see your refinishing skills applied to the blue corvette - get in the shed !! 😜

In my (humble!) opinion if it was in absolutely top condition, with the brass “JAN” I would say about £1,300/1,400. As it is, I would think more like £1,000/1,100 or so. All very subjective of course because some people aren’t too bothered about the cosmetics! 🤔

Ooh thanks, tempting - as you say, quite significantly overpriced imo too, especially given the condition of the back, still got the original (rubbish) tedur nut etc. I’m only half an hour from Colchester!!!

What a classic! Like the strap button position to help with the balance!

Great playing mate, and yes, it sounds exactly as I remember 😥although I've never been into that type of music (but can still appreciate it !!). Hmmm wonder if I can get some inlays on the Infinity !!! ?!

Ha! Yes seated the Infinity is fine, although the side dots are almost invisible so with no fret inlays either, a bit of a nightmare in a darkened auditorium!! Marcoelwray - the Thumb "Dirty Blonde" Ltd Edition is 2006. I've seen them pop up very occasionally on Ebay Kleinanzeigen (which is actually where I got mine from!)..........before I sold it two years later!

Ha ha - actually, there is a lot in what you say. As you can tell, I love a nice bit of birds-eye maple or poplar burl. This (nearly 10 years old) Infinity actually has quite a "dark" (almost sinister!) sound/tone when you get on to the E & B strings which I love and I've been doing some material for which it is perfect. However, I had to save up and sell alot of stuff to raise the cash, and no, it isn't worth the extra money over the Ltd Thumb which I should never have sold ! The other downside is the ergonomics because due to the strap positions and the 3 piece neck, you end up with a long stretch to the bottom frets, much more so than on the Thumb (as far as I can recall). So it is really a mix of a beautiful piece of art/craftsmanship and also an instrument (in that order), and for that reason you still need another bass for the more "regular" things, so my old Fender Jazz 5 does that.

I know, I know, but I did end up with this (after selling a kidney! ).......

Talking of nice looking Warwicks, why did I sell this ?? !!!!! What an idiot ! (Pics courtesy of the Bass Direct wesbite sold items !)

Nice refinish job !

Yes, very nice indeed. Suspect you will need to be a bit careful with the gloss finish though! Bet it looks awesome under stage lighting !!

You are welcome Simone - it was a pleasure dealing with you.

I sold my Phil Jones to Simone who is based in Italy, and it was a very pleasant transaction. Good communications throughout and the right funds sent ahead of despatch. Many thanks for your purchase Simone. Kind regards David

I must say, that is hilarious ! I literally laughed my head off 😂
