Hiya, I'm new to this so please let me know if I'm breaking any rules.

 

I've had this for ages, but I don't play 4's any more so it needs to go to someone who'll appreciate it more.

For sale (no trades) is my 1988 Warwick thumb bass, 4 string.

This is the holy grail of thumb basses, from warwick's 'golden era'. It's all original and in excellent condition.

Made in West Germany (see electronics cover), this bass has a solid bubinga body and the proper wenge and bubinga 7 piece neck. The neck shape is the skinny type, not the baseball bat of some modern warwick basses. It still has the original EMG jazz pickups and 2 band preamp - all work perfectly. Frets are original and in great shape (see pictures). Tuners are original Schaller.

Condition is remarkable for a 31 year old bass. There are a couple of scratches as you might expect, bit of buckle rash but no big dents or anything. Please see the pictures showing the edges of the bass and the various hardware etc. The only notable scratch is below the tailpiece (pictured) and some string wear on the pickups (also pictured).

Weight is 4.65kg / 10.25 lbs.

Collection is welcome from Chorley in Lancashire, or from Chadderton in Greater Manchester. I can use UPS courier across the UK too.

Any questions, ask away.

Thanks for looking.

Got an 89 Thumb bass since new and don't think i coud ever sell that bass. Its just too nice to sell on even tho i very rarely play it. 

I did consider it at one point few yrs ago and my young brother gave me a row and convinced me never to sell it. Maybe he wants it as part of his inheritance. (he's a good bit younger than me :laugh1:)

Great price for any buyer i reckon. These basses are so well built and the necks have to be one of the best on the market.

Fantastic growl when you want it, but so many other variations of tone available.

Absolutely gorgeous basses
