Located in Chertsey (J11 M25), and I'm willing to ship at the buyer's expense. This came to me in a trade, and it turns out I'm not such a hot fretless player, so it's time to move it on. I'd prefer cash but am willing to trade, try me.

mart Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) [quote name='dougal' timestamp='1322087266' post='1446484'] ....Serial No.:L-148208-08 produced:21/11/2008 .... Made in Korea. ...[/quote] No it's not: Warwick weren't making basses in Korea in 2008. So it's actually a German-made beauty that you've got there. With the bubinga body and active pups you could argue that this is a budget Thumb. Except that this balances much better than a Thumb!

lbquota Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Are you sure of the weight? It should be around 4.3 Kg...here's the spec page from the Warwick site: http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=23997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I will just say im pretty sure that is not Korean. Korean instruments are different in their S/N's and it would say Pro-Series on the trussrod cover. I think this is a German one from before the Factory Change which was in 2009 (I should know as I worked for them when it happened!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Confirmed 5.4kg using different (luggage) scales. Korean or German it's under offer awaiting the usual. Edited December 12, 2011 by dougal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftyhook Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 if the serial number is on the back of the headstock between the machine heads, it's pre-2010. = German made, so I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's definitely not true - there are Chinese basses with the serial between the machine heads, such as this one: And there are German basses with the serial number below the machine heads, or on the top of the headstock, and probably some with serial numbers in a few other places too!

Clarky Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I took ownership of this bass yesterday. Dougal had all the documentation including the QC certificate from 2008 that looks to have been signed in Germany. I'm sure its German, based on this and the comments above. Nice bass but boy do I need a supportive Comfort Strap type thingummy at about 11.5 pounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
