Hope to get a decent price for it, about time Warwicks went up a bit! [quote name='Galilee' post='336249' date='Nov 25 2008, 02:01 PM']Are you sure that the wrist pain isn't caused by holding the neck up? My NT5 goes into a terrific nose dive first chance it gets, and it used to give me terrible grief in my left wrist.[/quote] Have been sitting down a lot playing it & holding the neck up more to minimise the wrist bending, however this hasn't really helped. I've got stubby fingers so I think the combination of this & the thick neck is what is causing the problem. [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='336621' date='Nov 25 2008, 08:50 PM']I didnt mention figures; I neither implied that your price was high nor low, just that I remember you contributing to a thread where the price of these basses was being discussed and therefore I know you have a good understanding of what is achievable at the moment. Sorry if I touched a nerve though.[/quote] Alright mate well I got the feeling you were implying the price is high & that I know it due to the comment I made in that previous thread.

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='336089' date='Nov 25 2008, 10:51 AM']I remember you contributing to a thread a little while ago about the current value of Thumb BO 5’s…[/quote] Notice the words [b]I'd like[/b] & [b]negotiable[/b] plus the fact that this is a feeler, I'll admit I wouldn't quite be willing to part with it for what some Warwicks seem to fetch at present but it's simple logic to start higher & then come down isn't it. Thanks for the constructive comment though Ben!

Hey mate Would like around £800 for it, price negotiable though!

A few photos....

Heya guys this is a feeler for my Thumb bass. Just a bit in to why I want to sell it... Since picking up the bass guitar again back in May or so I've only really been playing for say 20 mins max at a time. However I recently joined a band about a month ago so have been playing for longer periods of time at practices etc. Everytime I take the Thumb along I find after about 30 minutes of playing I get pains in my left wrist which also then sometimes spread up to my fingers, I damaged my wrists in a weight lifting accident in 2006 so I think it's the C shape profile of the neck which is causing it to flair up. I really don't want to own a bass that will merely be played for a few minutes every now & again before being set down again so therefore I'm considering selling it. It's a 2003 BO model, MEC pick ups, 2 band EQ. However I have upgraded the nut from the Just A Nut 2 to the JAN 3. There is a small bit of fret wear, other than that it is all in working order. Great feel, great sound, another great Warwick instrument I was planning to fit a 3 band EQ that I got off another member so could also throw that in if needs be. Only have one photo at the moment, the bass is fitted with Black Beauty strings. Behold the awesome picture quality of the LG Viewty [url="http://img114.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thumblk3.jpg"][/url][url="http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php"][/url] Sorry about the quality, will upload some more, hopefully sharper ones later. Don't have too much of a price in mind so PM me if you're interested. Cheers Joe

Lol that's pretty cool that your other half plays! I've tried encouraging mine to have a go, but she hasn't been too interested. Good luck with the sale, can't fault an Ibanez piece of kit.

Beautiful! Good luck with the sale mate.
