rumour6 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) 1990 Thumb NT6: Custom factory finish, never seen another; looks black but is actually a slightly transparent very dark blue/purple. I’m told by the previous owner it’s one of a set: a 4 a 5 and a 6 done for a show in 1990. Good condition for age, some small dings but nothing major at all. Handmade era, heavy duty hardware, you can see from the pix the extra weight to the tuner keys, bridge castings etc. Plays very easily, low action no buzzing, little fret wear; very, very articulate sound with a really solid low B Currently has Seymour Duncan Basslines fitted but the factory fit Bartolinis are included in the sale. 2 band EQ: Master Vol, Pan, stack Tr/Bass. Strung with Elixirs. Comes in an original Warwick Alu fitted flight case (in its cardboard outer). Some wear but it’s a flight case!!! Works well; when I got this it arrived from Germany in tune! [size=5][b]£1,650[/b][/size] [b]Thanks for the many offers of trades I've had but I think I'm going to have to sell and buy; this does however mean there's some wriggle room....[/b] Thanks for looking.

rumour6 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 This one balances fine... seriously, no neck dive. Light it's not but balances it does... The last 1990 I had did as well but none of the newer ones I've had did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumour6 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi there only scales I have are luggage ones so not the most accurate.. they show just over 12 lbs, it is heavy... about the same as a Wal 5. On a 3" wide foam backed leather strap it feels fine. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satrugar Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Very, very nice instrument! I believe the 4-string from the set was mine for quite a while, or at least one with the same finish. It was from '89 and had gold hardware instead of black. Unfortunately I had to sell it a few months ago.... It now resides in the UK. The finish on yours should be fantastic, if it's the same as mine was. I made a few pics under strong lighting to show the real nature of the finish: [url="http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m586/Satrugar/WW%20Thumb%2089/"]Pics[/url] The more light fell onto it, the more it changed from black to some kind of translucent blue and the better you could see the wood grain. Is it the same effect on yours? I can also confirm that Thumbs from that era have far less neck dive than more recent ones. I believe it's because of the way thinner neck and because they used a VERY heavy solid brass bridge back then instead of the newer one made from a much lighter alloy. Made the bass heavier overall but greatly improved balance. Good luck with the sale! Janis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumour6 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Vielen Dank Janis, yes same really deep finish and effect but the blue in your's is more pronounced: your's is also the only other one I've seen with exactly (albeit gold) the same hardware, extra thick squared off tuning keys, thicker bridge components etc. Overall the weight just makes it ring for ever... neck is very slim, I think the change was around '93 but not absolutely sure.

Kev Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wow! Awesome looking bass, if it had one less string i would be running to the bank for a big brother for my 4, 6 is probably a little too much for me. Bumpo for an awesome bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
