A bit of a hidden gem, this! Early 90's, German-made 4 channel tube preamp, using a single 12ax7 tube. Has speaker emulation and can be used to feed an amp as overdrive, plug in into power amp as an "expander preamp", or direct into PA. Sounds great - have been using this to knock up guitar tones for demo tracking. Also effective for warming up / distorting bass tracks and Hammond organ digital sim processing! Comes with a rare manual (though 1 page missing ) Recently serviced and includes original power supply. £85 posted, or collection from Wimbledon / Redhill.

Vintage, great-sounding set of active EMG P/J bass pickups. These have come out from a late 80's Warwick.

[color=#000000]Warwick Thumb NT6 bass, from Warwick's golden days. [/color][color=#000000]Hand-made in 1990 in Western Germany. I have owned this for about 3 years, but alas, my needs have changed and this beast has to go![/color] [color=#000000]Electrics feature Seymour Duncan Basslines pickups and Warwick 2 band preamp (with active / passive push-pull pot). [/color][color=#000000]Schaller strap locks attachments are installed.[/color] [color=#000000]All hardware is original, as far as I know. Wenge / bubinga woods combination, with wenge fretboard.[/color] [color=#000000]Great low action, and the truss rod works well. Bronze frets are in decent shape.[/color] [color=#000000]Restrung with £50 La Bella steel roundwound strings just prior to sale.[/color] [color=#000000]There are scratches due normal use; please note the lacquer chip next to one of the frets - but this one doesn't affect playability. There is also a surface scratch on top horn, but it doesn't look to have gone through to the wood.[/color] I added a photo that's me trying to make it as visible as possible (flash and all) - you can hardly see in the other photos.... It is a 27-year old instrument, after all :-) [color=#000000]The actual finish is the rare gloss-black polish(slightly blue tint), but with wood grain still visible underneath. I believe a set of 3 Thumbs were made like this, for a 1990 trade show.[/color] [color=#000000]Comes with Warwick rockbag.[/color] Bass is heavy, but sounds incredible (two sides of the wood choices, I suppose). There's the famous warwick growl on low notes, and piano-like sustain on the high notes. [color=#000000]Meet-up in Wimbledon / Central London preferred. I don't want to post this bass and risk it being smashed! I may be able to meet half-way if you are driving down, within reason....[/color] I've included other photos I took of the bass, inside / outside - hopefuly to compensate for my lack of photography skills....

As part of the forthcoming gear clear-out, I found a set o[color=#000000]f Thomastik Infeld flats that I will not have a use for.[/color] [color=#000000]Please note the following:[/color][list] [*]I got the strings as a together with a bass that I bought (as spares for the other TI set), so I can’t give an accurate number of hours they were played prior to me owning – however when I string them up yesterday, the strings seemed to have a decent bit of metallic “zing” left…. So they are not dead! I have played them for maximum of 15 minutes yesterday. [/list][list] [*]G string silk seems to be a tad darker than others if you look closely. Don’t know why. It's possible these strings came from different TI sets originally[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000].[/color][/size][/font] [/list][list] [*]G string measures around 110cm from tip to ball end (~43.3 inches). All other strings are actually longer. The G MAY fit a 4-in-line headstock, but please check carefully. I am sure this set would fit 2+2 or 3+1 headstocks, though. [/list][list] [*]Although this did not come with the strings as I got them, I have a full TI string packaging set (at some it was used to store other strings), which I have included and will post the strings in. [/list] [color=#000000]So I propose £18 posted … hopefully that’s fair given the above?[/color] [color=#000000]Paypal gift or bank transfer preferred.[/color] [color=#000000]Cheers[/color] [color=#000000]Roman[/color]
