In search of the Warwick Thumb NT5 BROADNECK which was sold here... (many years ago)

[plingubus]

a few years ago this bass was sold here:

If the current owner of this bass happens to see my post and happens to be thinking about selling this bass again, pleeeaaassee hit me up

Thanks and cheers!

I think there two Warwick broadnecks for sale here some time ago. But was the other a Streamer?

 

Very interesting basses, as wide necks are pretty rare. I don't get along with 17 mm bridge spacing. Now I own an MG Genesis 5, and I've seen an MG Quantum 5W for sale here.

Can't help but that's a cracking looking bass! The 20mm spacing on a 5 would be a whole lot of room.

totally! It's not for everybody and most bassists I know say that's waayyy too much!! But I own 2 other broadnecks and for me it just fits and I like it.
A Thumb NT5 BN like this one would be my absolute dream bass and I've been searching for it all over Europe for the last 4,5 years. It's just so rare since the demand for it is so low. 
Also, this bass must weigh a LOT. My guess is around 6kg (~13.2 pounds) although the original post says "4's to 5 kilos". I owned many non-Broadneck Thumb NT5s with a way smaller body (same wood etc) and they already weigh 4.7kg

never tried 20mm but 19mm on my MTD is good

I remember when this was on here because I have the bolt-on Broadneck version as well as a through neck Broadneck Streamer Stage One. Wouldn't be without either of them. I had to get to know the Thumb ergonomics but once it clicked...
