Kev Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I have had this bass for a couple of years now and i am thinking about moving her on and having a change. It is a Warwick Thumb NT from the golden age of Warwick, handbuilt in West Germany, gorgeous Bubinga Body with 7 piece Wenge/Bubinga neck, in fantastic condition, couple marks here and there but nothing worth noting. The battery compartment cover is a little loose but nothing to lose sleep over. Neck is the best neck i have played, lovely feel and low action. I have had a 2000 Streamer LX and Corvette Proline 2006 and they were in a completely different league to this bass, trust me the old ones really are as good as people say they are. Specs are as follows:- Bass: Thumb NT 4 string Bass Serial Number: E-****-90 Year: 1990 Month: May Number: 2301 Neck Wood: 7 pcs. Wenge Wood with Bubinga Stripes Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut I Brass Version 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 Weight: 10lb 6 oz The bass will come in what i believe was the original Warwick gigbag (but don't hold me to that) with a used tin of Beeswax to keep her fresh. I have polished this bass with liberal amounts of the wax at least once a month since i have owned her, and the wood looks fantastic for it. I value the bass at no less that £SOLD. I am willing to listen to most trades. I am not interested in any Precision bass and nothing made by Fender, nor am i interested in another Warwick as quite simply i don't think there will be one better. Rickenbackers have interested me recently, namely the 4004 models, but wouldn't rule any out. Always been curious about Dingwall and Roscoe basses, would love to try one. I can add up to £300 for the right bass. Let me know if you are interested!

Kev Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 I am very keen on a Rick thats available on the forum at the moment so, whilst that is still for sale, i will take cash for the bass. It will be trade only again if it sells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Bass I was after sold, so I'm more keen on a trade again. Will still consider cash sale but unwilling to let it go until I have another bass lined up. Can add about £300 max in a trade for the right bass.
