Mark[/quote] No but with so many Thumbs floating around on the forum I don't expect to. I'm not in a massive hurry as I've sold my P bass to a BCer and a Warwick forum member has bought one of my Infinettes... just waiting for 'further' verification on my paypal account so that I can access the funds!

[quote name='eubassix' post='355130' date='Dec 15 2008, 03:39 PM']Thanks Ady! .. thank goodness somebody has a decent memory: there you go John, if Oct. 07 sounds about right then you would have bought it from Ady/ebay. +1 on Ady's comments on the lightness/0-dead spots (in addition to what's been said before). Remains an excellent & uncommon bass .. at a very good price.[/quote] Phew... thought I was having a senior moment. Yep it looks like those dates would tie-in nicely. If those dates are correct why the heck did I get it off ebay and not direct from Ady? Never mind, another bump for a cracking bass.

[quote name='db100' post='354767' date='Dec 15 2008, 07:30 AM']superb example of a 78 Fender Jazz Bass,beautiful looking instrument,ash body with amazing wood grain,, original shop tags still attached ,pearl inlays,excellent condition. email me for pics and discussion if interested.[/quote] Pics in the thread will save you a load of time and hassle.

Just a heads-up as it could matter to a potential buyer (and 'might' help you achieve a higher price) but your eBay ad needs a quick amendment... the neck is wenge (and bubinga) not ovankol; ovankol is the wood of choice for the recent range not these old basses.

[quote name='eubassix' post='354555' date='Dec 14 2008, 08:31 PM']I DID have one of these ages ago - same specs/colour (you can get various options including 2x magnetic p/up in addition to the piezo / and various colour options - although IMHO this is the best). If there's some slight marking/wear below the rear 'hook' (extension for strap/balance) then it's possibly mine (well, formerly mine). There is (was) also a superb Bolin fitted hardcase (traditional, tolex type but with interior fitted for this bass specifically) with 'Bolin' logo. Superb instrument!.. can only agree with what's been stated thus far (except that I do like the headstock concept) - I really enjoyed playing it but didn't really find a 'working' use for it.[/quote] This does have that bit of wear described... am I going completely senile, did I buy this off you Dave or did you have it prior to my receiving it. I'm certain that I got it off eBay!

OK as it happens my best laid plans went awry (no new bass for Johnnie-Poos) and no-one took me up on my offer of free personal door to door delivery any way! This bass still needs a new home so if anyone fancies treating themselves to a Crimbo pressie, it's here for the taking.

Time is slipping away as I need to be off first thing tomorrow morning!

[quote name='budget bassist' post='353552' date='Dec 13 2008, 01:55 PM']How many BCers have owned his bass? [/quote] Obviously I've had it BUT I don't 'think' that eubassix has even though Josh said that he did!

[quote name='tauzero' post='353554' date='Dec 13 2008, 01:56 PM']Well, I love the 87 JD I own (I've never encountered a more playable 4-string) and I live just up the road from Solihull. I'm a bit strapped for cash though, I suppose you'd want a bit more than a tenner and half a packet of wine gums?[/quote] A [b]HALF[/b] of a packet... some people take the p*ss on here!

[quote name='josh3184' post='353524' date='Dec 13 2008, 01:12 PM']apparently if this was lefty then you might have had a pm already though [/quote] Dare to be different... turn it upside down and restring it (actually very easy as the bridge saddles and nut screws will just swap around)

Too many Warwick Thumbs available?
