Lovely figuring on that bubinga body! Got me a Thumb 5er. The tone is just something else and more than makes up for any ergonomic deficiencies

solid brass can easily be bought back to new using either a metal polish or wire wool and elbow grease. failing that shot blasting can yield fantastic results and a very funky finish as it did on the bridge, knobs and nut of my Streamer I restored: https://reverb.com/uk/item/10464133-warwick-streamer-stage-1-1988-hand-built-in-germany-inc-brand-new-abs-hardcase If you are interested in the shot-blasting option Im happy to help

I am particularly confident that, if I were to buy this monstrosity, I would rightly be labelled a complete Richard

I would recommend a couple of follow up waxings as newly finished or refinished Warwicks will soak in the oils from the wax until the wood was settled. I am still finding this to be the case with my SSI i stripped and refinished last year:

Self adhesive copper tape vs Alu tape??
dyerseve replied to Jimothey's topic in Repairs and Technical
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I have done several basses(pup and control cavities) with copper foil and it's a doddle to solder. Quite frankly if you don't have a decent solder iron and know how to solder properly then you probably shouldn't be messing around with your basses electronics in the first place as you will make a mess soldering them back in once you have completed the shielding. -
Apologies, don't mean to cause offence & didn't realise the bass was owned by a BC member. However. I do know a little about Japanese instruments from this era, and having (a few years ago now, admittedly) bought & sold them to earn a living, I do have some awareness of the market for them, and their values. The simple fact is that, like any vintage instrument, original components and finish, both in good order, are paramount to their value. Refinishes and non-original components (regardless of quality) are unlikely to add value. I can only look at an instrument from the perspective of what I'd expect it to achieve if I were selling it - and a VA900B in top condition would likely be a £350-£400 bass. They are excellent instruments but looking at Matsumoku builds from this era, the Vantage brand is valued a bit lower than similarly specced Westones, and both of those are poor relations to Aria Pro SBs & SB-Rs. Of course these are little more than assumptions on my part & I'd actually like to be proven wrong about your bass. I hope you get your asking price. Just in case you are interested. I have had someone offer me the full asking price so it just goes to show if the right buyer comes along...

thanks but sadly it's already gone. not surprising really

Thanks mate just texted the seller to see if he will post. Not sure about dealing at distance with gum tree though...

Josh i have (non warwick) spares so let me know your address and i will post one FOC

Price aside, I cannot believe how good condition that bass is in considering it's 66 years old! Do we really think it's all original and not a refin?
