sjc75 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Ok I have a gorgeous 4 string bolt on Thumb which looks to be a custom order. It's in pristine condition...never been gigged. It's probably the best slap machine I've ever played thanks to the full on maple body, neck and thunderous Basslines pick up. It's got a 2 band eq and a push/pull volume pot to swtich from passive to active. Any questions etc drop me a line back. Going for a steal at £800, delivery via Parcleforce/DHL from NI to UK will be about £30 or you can arrange your own courier.

warwickhunt Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 How old is the bass and is there a CS plate on the back of the headstock above the volute or a 'holographic' (for want of a better word) CS logo on the back of the headstock top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I would think that it was made by their custom shop....just mean it wasn't one of the "Official" custom models they bring out from time to time like the Dirty Blonde etc which would have the full Custom Shop markings such as the CS plate.....

warwickhunt Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 J - 01 = Sept 01 re. the whole CS issue. If it is made by the CS it will say so if it is a Ltd Ed etc it won't have the CS markings but normally (certainly 2001) has a plate indicating the serial number and year of manufacture. I'm not big on the various BO Thumb bass releases but IMHO a post on the Warwick Forum would shed more light on what the bass actually is (if that matters to anyone) than a response from Warwick HQ. Regardless of any of that... good luck getting your trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aparantly they were a limited custom edition made for a music shop in Germany called Art of Music with about 100 4 strings made and 50 five strings... So you chance to get your hands on a wee bit of Warwick history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhatbass Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) If this doesn't go on eBay i've got a Warwick Katana 5 String Thru Neck i'd probably be willing to trade. It's absolutely mint. I bought it thinking i'd get into playing 5-strings, but it's been hung pretty much un-played on the wall ever since.... It the exact model shown in the link below. Offers accepted if anyone else is interested?
