pantherairsoft Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) BASS NOW SOLD Hi people, No longer a feeler... The bass is stunning, as such I would love to keep it, but Christmas and bills mean if a reasonable sale can be made, I will let someone else enjoy it instead. This is a Warwick Thumb Bolt-On 5 string, 2006 model... The spec can be found here - [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=14447&cl=EN"]http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkt...14447&cl=EN[/url] As the pictures below will show, this has to be, in my honest opinion, the finest cut of Ovangkol I have ever laid my eyes on. The oil finish is perfect and wood appears darker than most other Thumb's I have tried. The overall appearance is stunning! The bass is in pristine condition with the exception of a tiny ding near the jack socket which was too small to show on a photo, you won't see it but may feel it if you run a finger over it (it's hardly existent, but thought it was fair to mention!). It's at the lighter end of the scale for a thumb and feels and plays like its new. Set up with a brand new set of 40-125's in the last few days. For this stunning example I am now asking SOLD (price dropped 20/12/09) OR BEST OFFER (will consider the odd effects pedal in part ex to knock down the price) collected from Nottingham (City Centre), I have no transport to deliver, (but will make a short train journey if you pay the fare!) and am not keen to post, but will do so fully insured at your cost and arrangement. Anyone thats want to popover is happy to sit and have a good play on her to see that she is even better than the pictures show! Only trade would be EBS heads. Included the Warwick users kit (handbook, wax, cloth, truss rod adjuster, allen keys etc) and the warwick strap-locks as well. Warwick Rock Bag now included!!! The pics (hope they do it justice)...

Good luck with the sale, one day (when I have some money) I will own one of these [/quote] That's funny... 'Yum' is the word that popped into my head too... I've bought too many Warwicks this month I'm afraid, but a five, fretless would be the next on the list if I hadn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I don't normally GAS for Warwick, but this is stunning... Plus it's a 5 version which is what I'd want. Out of interest does it come with a Warwick gig bag? Edited December 10, 2009 by Musicman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the warwick case for it, and I am not advertising the bass with a softcase, but as kong as your happy with a fairly basic one I'm sure I can throw one in on the asking price!

pantherairsoft Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Cheers for all the PM offers guys. I beleive I have replied to all of them. Not after trades still at the mo, but may consider certain effects pedals to knock a few quid off the asking price. Still here for the time being.

Jigster Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 i've always been anti warwick's - but something is stirring in me lately and I keep looking at every warwick post that comes up on here - they look soooo well made and like they will just ooze tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each model really does have it's own characteristics... The thumb has a great low-mid growl and sounds very very punchy. A Thumb through a Ampeg SVT seems to of come a modern rock classic. The thumb to me is the most comfy of the range to play an te curved body shape hugs my not too large stomach nicely ;-) Cheers mcgraham... Kind words go a long way :-) *Quick update... A decent quality padded stagg gigbag is now included as of this morning rather than a £10 cheapy. Better protection and a better deal for the buyer. The case is brand spanking new!
