[/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![/quote] Thanks, MikeBass. It really is a beaut! The body wood is one of the most unusual I've seen on a Thumb. The pattern changes depending on the light and from which position the bass is in! A really tactile bass - I'm almost convincing myself not to part with it, hmmm?

[b][/b]Here's my Warwick Thumb NT 4 that is happily snuggled in its Warwick gig bag out of the cold! It hasn't been gigged for a while and I'm wondering whether it might find a new home - not 100% certain I want to let it go but it just isn't getting used. Here's the spec from Warwick: Bass: Thumb NT 4 string Bass Serial Number: E-2301-90 Year: 1990 Month: May Number: 2301 Neck Wood: 4 pcs. Wenge Wood with Bubinga Stripes Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut I Brass Version (originally) Neck construction: NeckThrough Construction Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga solid wood/ Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: JJ MEC Pickups Active Electronic: MEC 2-Band electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware The bass it's been thoroughly set-up, new strings etc and lovingly waxed (the bass guys, the bass...). The main pic is by the original store owner and the second body pic is the bass now after a few loving touches ;o) These basses cost £2500 new, but this beauty is from the period when Warwick used slightly lighter woods (and better quality too). It's all original, sounds fantastic but you knew that already ;o) A very reluctant sale but needs must (no, I haven't got GAS, just bills to pay (( [attachment=69334:WarwickThumb.gif] Price-wise I'm looking for [b]£1095[/b]

[quote name='J.R.Bass' post='1069826' date='Dec 26 2010, 09:50 PM']Interested in buying this, any actual pics of the bass?? [/quote] The pic above is the actual pic of the bass as used by the shop I bought the NS WAV from. A review of the Wav can be found here: [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46917"]http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/46917[/url] Hope that helps. Regards

I'm reluctantly selling my EUB. The bass is just a few months old and is in first-class condition. The WAV features NS Design's proprietary PolarTM piezo pickup system. The WAV 4 is in a transparent Amberburst and includes a foldable tripod stand and a padded gig bag that will hold the bass, the stand, and also has a pocket for a bow (bow included). The instruments has two transducers beneath the adjustable bridge, and a switch to toggle between them for bowing (arco) and plucking (pizzicato). This is a true electric upright bass, not a fretless bass guitar that you play vertically. The fingerboard is curved, so it can be bowed. While there is a truss rod, there is relief in the fingerboard for typical upright bass style play. It's a great, well made bass that's hardly been used, which is obvious from the excellent condition. I'd rather not post as it would be a pain to find an envelope to fit! I'm looking for £600 or make me a serious offer.

While there is a truss rod, there is relief in the fingerboard for typical upright bass style play. The bass has hardly been used and needs a loving home (rather than my wardrobe). It must be my morning mug of caffeine but I've gone all Santa and decided to reduce the EUB to a firm £595 (no offers now). It's a bargain for someone! [b]* Now also considering a trade for a 5/6 string bass of similar value. *[/b]

[quote name='markstuk' post='1040407' date='Nov 28 2010, 08:38 PM']Where are you based? Depending on some cash coming in over the next or so, I might well be tempted by this... Cheers Mark[/quote] Hi Mark I'm based near Coventry. I could also be tempted by part cash part trade depending on the bass!
