this is identical to the one I had late 80s/early90s. awesome sound from the EMG selects. I bought a 5 string version but the PUs had changed to jazz pick ups - not the same sound. I also had a fretless steinberger shape version too - great sound. wish I'd kept my Jack now. lightweight, great sound. really tempted with this......................

People paying 5 grand for a bass probably want their balls tickled a bit.[/quote] LOL!! a ball tickling and slightly less than 5k may prise my '64 P from my grasp!!

that is, by far, the nicest looking Ray I haver EVER seen - amazing with the see thru scratchplate. if it was a 5 string i'd be seriously looking thru the bank accounts now. lovely!

[quote name='molan' post='1254491' date='Jun 2 2011, 07:56 PM']I have to own up that I don't know how Warwick serial number dating works I'm also not entirely sure where the serial number is, lol. I have a vague recollection it might be engraved into the very tip of the headstock? The bass isn't with me at the moment as it's up on a commission sale with Phil at BassGear.[/quote] warwick serial numbers: the serial number will be on the tip of the headstock. the last two numbers give you the year, the letter at the start, the month (A = Jan B = Feb etc don't include I) the numbers inbetween are the issue number for that number bass of that year. amazing basses - I have 1990 and 1988 thumbs.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1254972' date='Jun 3 2011, 03:23 AM']Why does it have EMGs? I thought all Warwicks started out with MECs but i'm no expert![/quote] my 88 thumb has EMGs and the 90 thumb has MECs. in comparison, the EMGs are much hotter than the MECs. amazing basses - cant believe 90, 89 and 87 thumb NTs have appeared for sale here in the past few weeks. oh for some spare cash (and/or understanding from the missus!!!!)

more pics bump trades considered. pm me.

Price Drop Bump!

[quote name='paul_5' post='1229418' date='May 12 2011, 10:34 PM']Free nostalgic bump. Ran one of these up and down the country for 6 years - rock solid and always delivered the goods. I was tempted myself but I'm afraid my wife would disagree somewhat.... [/quote] yeah, still sounds amazing with my Hartke 3500 head - super loud for a 200 watt rated cab but....needed to go smaller, lighter so have gone for markbass. thanks, Mike

It can be used vertically with bass heads and other cabs. It has feet on the bottom and side for either purpose. The cab is rated as 200W at 8 Ohms.

truly gorgeous bass, I wouldn't be without my 1990 NT 5 string - gets me all the tones I want & the '64 P-bass cant even come near. if this was £500 less I'd be on it like a shot!!! fabulous!! looks very well used (and a bit rusty around the hardware?) but the 'ramp' needs ditching!!! severe GAS!!

[i]"this beauty is from the period when Warwick used slightly lighter woods (and better quality too)." [/i] certainly is!!! my 1990 NT 5 string is the dogs - if I had the readies , I'd be nestling this baby between my 1990 fiver and my1988 4 string. gorgeous!

nice bass, I have an identical defretted '88 - with EMGs - hotter PUs than the MECs on my 1990 thumb. wish the wife hadn't imposed a buying embargo! good luck with the sale.
