Hey guys,
Well.....
Here we have my very custom thumb. "the Beetle" as the GF christened it!!
fully appointed thumb
orange and red side Led's
thru neck
Bubinga, nice thick old slab of wenge fb (To accomodate the Leds),
MEC pups with the pull/push pots (active passive and mid)
Gotoh machine heads
Growl and sustain like an immortal tiger!!!!!
I have had this bass years (I believe it's an early nineties)
I contacted Warwick about this piece and they said it was created for a NAMM show hence the blank inlay at the 24th fret, the idea to get your name (or whatever) cut into it.
I just never got round to it
I wil see if i can dig out the old email or contact warwick again for further details
The serial number has been obsured by the thick paint or is not present as far as i can tell!!!!!
Overall the bass is in excellent condition, very very little marking or buckle rash (although not pristine) And the blurring and smudging is just my handling marks while photographing)
There is discoloration along the top of the neck where the fret dots are, but this is entirely cosmetic and perfectly smooth
Being no photographer I actually found this bass really hard to photo!!! flash bounces right of it! the leds are also hard to photo as it's black with lights!!
I really REALLY wish this did not have to go but I have made a promise to a loved one I mean to keep. And my car is a money pit at the moment............
it has a tkl hard case and it still has the original "Monkey business" Romford music store sticker on the headstock.
I will contact warwick again and take any more photos on request:)
