This is now sold pending payment and will be on its way to its new owner soon. Thanks for all the interest 🙂

Just a small thing to note; when checking over the bass I remembered that the little battery holder usually stuck in the cavity came off at some point, so if you did want to switch to the regular 9V instead of the rechargeable system, you’d probably want to stick that back on again. See pics

Do you know the nut width on this?

Would love one of these, classic combo.

Bucket list bass for me. One day…

Iffff it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't have been overly keen to ship abroad anyway. But indeed, its made gear shopping somewhat more difficult that's for sure, but it is what it is.

Focusrite on hold, ES-5 Sold. Rest still available

Believe me, if I could hang on to it, I would

The geddy lee jazz basses are stunning. Just to check, does this have the same neck profile as the pear inlay jobbies? Very interested, but depends on sale of other things first (isn't it always!). Will be watching keenly!

Up for sale is this incredible Warwick Thumb bass, built in 2017. Masterbuilt with the nicest pieces of Bubinga I have ever seen, the way it shimmers in the light is impossible to photograph. This bass has a factory fitted custom brass Just-A-Nut III fitted to accommodate tuning down to B, which is how I have been using the bass. The nut is absolutely fine for regular tuning too. I also have a Tedur JANIII too cut to standard EADG if wanted, but it shouldn't be needed. The bass was strung up last week with a fresh set of Sadowsky blue label strings tuned to Drop B (B F# B E), 5 string set so the spare .40 will be included in the sale. This has almost all the features a brand new Warwick does, including the wooden tuner heads/trc, glow in the dark market, invisible fret technology and, best of all, the rechargeable lithium battery powered MEC preamp, with matching wood control cover. The preamp also includes a plug and play standard 9V battery snap too, should you not wish to trust a rechargeable preamp! (The regular 9V battery holder would need to be reattached to the control cavity with an adhesive pad or similar as it has been removed) Condition is excellent. No dings or issues with the bass. The only sign of wear is on the neck pickup cover under the top string, bit of string burn. Even the MEC gold logos are fully intact (if you know, you know! ) I have tried to find a way of keeping this bass for a while but sadly finances just can't accommodate keeping it at the moment. Some of you know about my Warwick obsession and I can say this is the best I've had, including all the eighties models etc. The build quality is just stunning.

Specifics available on request. [couple from the previous owner too, hopefully he doesn't mind] The bass comes in its beautiful leather case, together with the toolkit, certificate of authenticity and all the usual stuff. I will not post this bass. However, for petrol money, i'm happy to drive a fair distance for a drop off/meet. I just don't trust couriers with it! Any questions, ask away. Trades? Only with substantial (minimum 50%) cash coming my way, this is very much a money raising exercise. £2,000, price is firm. New Thumb will set you back at least £4,500, add hundreds more for a custom order like this. Cheers!

Pics added. Cheers!

…and Quasar is gone. X Ultra also on hold. Rest still available.

Finally taking the plunge and completing my transformation into a true modern bassist cliché and going all digital going forward, so the pedalboard needs to go. I’m not going to go into detail about what each pedal can do as if you’re considering it you’ll know, but if you do need further info then just ask  All come with original boxes unless stated and have dual lock/Velcro underneath. All pedals used with the ES-5 so have hardly been stepped on. Super high quality bits of kit. Add a couple of quid towards postage if you would, or collection from leamington spa. Darkglass ADAM (Aggressively Advanced Distorting Machine) - £on hold (£499 new) In excellent condition with little wear, just a cosmetic mark here and there. Less than a year old and never gigged, in original box. Darkglass X Ultra - £ON HOLD (£405 new) In excellent condition with little wear, just a cosmetic mark here and there. Couple of years old, always lived on the pedalboard in a case, no issues. Comes with box. Darkglass Alpha Omicron - £SOLD (£209 new) In mint condition, only owned for a few months so very little use. Comes with box. Boss DM-2W - £SOLD (£155 new) In great condition, owned for a few months and very little use. Small scratch on the back corner pictured. Comes with box. SubDecay Quasar DLX Deluxe 8 Stage Analog Phaser - £SOLD Bought this used on the forum earlier this year, in great condition and perfect working order, just a few scratches here and there. No original box for this one. Boss ES-5 Switching System - £SOLD (£409 new) In very good condition, few tiny nicks here and there. Comes with box. Boss TU-3 - £SOLD (£75 new) In great condition, three tiny chips on the top and label missing underneath but everything else perfect. Comes with box. Focusrite 2i2 3rd Generation Interface - £ON HOLD (£128 new) In very good condition, think there is a small scratch under velcro at the bottom, plastic films still in place. Comes with box. Brand New/Sealed Rockboard PatchWorks Solderless Set - £SOLD (£59 new) Brand new/unused solderless patch cable kit, bought with a plan to rewire board that never happened so literally as new.

£2k? Wow, that is a hell of a lot of bass for that money! 2013 was the start of Warwick REALLY upping their game, the instruments built in the last 8 years or so are of phenomenal quality.
