warwickhunt Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Good condition for a well gigged bass with lightly flamed rock maple body, a few dings or dinks and minimal worming. I have the action pretty low on this and as a result there is one fret a smidgen high @ about the 18th fret on the G string which gives a double note when fretted there and the next fret up. I'm only mentioning this as I've not been bothered by it enough to get it looked at (action just a mm or two higher i.e. 'normal' would mean this would disappear)... best thing is that I can refuse to play Free's 'All Right Now' because of this double note! The bass is superbly balanced and @ 9lb 6oz not a heavy weight for an all maple bodied bass (excuse my obsession with weight but my shoulder is fecked ); fingerboard edges are nicely rolled as per that period Warwick and the tone is superb (2 band EQ). I'm not in a rush to give this away so I'm open to sensible offers (certainly looking for close to 4 figures) and I'd be open to trades/swaps for a downsized, lightweight bass such as a Sadowsky. I'll get more pics as and when the camera emerges from it's hiding place. Edited June 4, 2009 by warwickhunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strength of the Euro and the Dollar might make things more interesting, so I'm probably going to put all of the Warwicks up on TB and see what happens, especially as I've found a very reasonably priced International courier.

[/quote] Good luck getting a decent price for this one anyway. Incidentally I spotted a '91 Thumb on eBay last week that went for just over £1100, and it ultimately sold to the guy I bought my '91 Thumb off five years ago (but I paid considerably less than that!). So maybe word is getting out now about how good these basses are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
