Kev Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1407696587' post='2523130'] It's H007 88. [/quote] ahhh, birth year thumb alert! There is a chance a bass purchase may fall through, if it does I could well be getting in touch about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) If I remember correctly the 6er was introduced that year... so it should be the 7th six strings Thumb ever made. http://forum.warwick.de/archive/index.php/t-9668.html Edited August 12, 2014 by Matte_black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmjos Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don't let this get away. This would be no 7 handmade by PHW himself. Its a steal at £1500. What Warwick can you buy for1500 I have no 27 and it is an amazing Bass. This is No 7 c'mon investment time guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 As I said, no chance Hans Wilfer had something to do with the build of this bass. He's a businessman, not a luthier by any means. But yeah, I think this is a nice collectors item (and of course a very nice sounding and playing instrument).

It is quite possible he was involved in making this. He built the other 88 thumb 6 that was sold on here a while ago, had an email from the man himself saying so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well... I am IronMan. The fact I'm stating it on a public forum makes it true? Free to believe what you want, though... not here to rain on your parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Okay, he certainly built early Warwicks bud, why do you think otherwise, out of interest? Perhaps a conversation for a different thread, but I am curious Hope John doesn't mind, but here is an extract of email sent to him from Hans about Thumb 6 #27...

Matte_black Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's turning into a sort of discussion about HPW's skills and know-how... certainly out of topic and not very interesting for me The bass is still available, though. Several offers but it's still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
