[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='302364' date='Oct 8 2008, 05:22 PM']I’d bloody love this, but I just can’t justify it at the moment. If my girlfriend saw another bass being delivered then she would actually lose her mind…(I’ve been trying to think if I’d be able to convince her that it’s the Thumb BO that I sold a month ago [I don’t think she’s worked out that I sold it – I didn’t tell her just in case…] )[/quote] [quote name='rjb' post='302549' date='Oct 8 2008, 09:26 PM']I won't say anything if you don't! Here's a bump for the Thumb, Warwickhunt.......[/quote] [quote name='molan' post='302655' date='Oct 8 2008, 11:59 PM']Can't beat Mr Hunt for a straight dealer on his basses & gear - I'm more than happy to vouch for him & when it comes to Warwicks he really knows his stuff [/quote] Cheers guys. Plenty of interest in the bass, though as yet 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for'.[size=1] (cue U2 lyrics)[/size]

[quote name='whynot' post='302632' date='Oct 8 2008, 11:29 PM']Thanks Warwickhunt for posting the link. Height is 30 inches. [b]Width is only 21" [/b]which makes it so easy for carrying through doorways. PM to Kalim.[/quote] That for me is the killer punch; not only is it a featherweight but you can walk through a doorway without turning sideways... and no scrapped knuckles. Ah bliss.

[quote name='kevbass' post='300841' date='Oct 6 2008, 09:42 PM']Ah well fair enough, if you change your mind and do decide to put a figure on it let me know and we can go from there, cheers Kev[/quote] PMd

[quote name='funkyhobbit' post='300782' date='Oct 6 2008, 08:13 PM']I hope its not mine your talking about, it went a couple of days ago [/quote] Ah... I snoozed, I losed! [quote name='kevbass' post='300787' date='Oct 6 2008, 08:23 PM']A pre 90's thumb is one ive been after for a while now, could you possibly pm me with a cash price in mind? Thanks[/quote] Hmmm, see above. The nice Spector is now gone, so cash isn't an imperative.

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='300074' date='Oct 5 2008, 07:39 PM']Nice I don't want to do this to myself, however, do you have a cash price in mind?[/quote] There's always a cash price in mind Ben I do have to admit if I sell it there's a fair chance that SWMBO will spirit the money away for another house project, so a trade would be best. Saying that I do know of the whereabouts of a nice Spector which a sale might get me closer to...

[quote name='Trace_n_bass' post='299757' date='Oct 5 2008, 09:35 AM']Good point - do you know how I move the post to 'other related stuff'?[/quote] PM a Mod or it may well just get shifted when someone spots it.

Nice case, nice Warwick but is it a 'bass' for sale or 'other musically related stuff'?

[quote name='bottomfeed' post='299711' date='Oct 5 2008, 01:37 AM']it was the GS, a 2x10 + 2x12....too heavy & bulky for my needs really though!.....but a nice sound & I could be loud enough for me too hear it well, without my drummer complaining! (there's gotta be something in this rear or front facing ports thing....) [b]....is it true the DB's have rear ports?[/b] I am hoping that the smaller GS speakers... like the 1x12's, impress me the same way..... it's got to be quite portable for me... up to say similar in bulkiness of 2 x SWR goliath Jr 2x10's weighing in at 55lbs each( ..which I'd like to try if I can find somewhere with 2 in stock!) .... but preferably lighter.... I've got 14 stairs up to my front door!...& it's a narrow passageway.... (ooh er misses!) [/quote] The DB112's certainly have rear ports. I take it you've considered and dismissed the Tech Soundsystems 1x12's on this forum... certainly can't get any more portable than those!

I was going to keep this 87 Thumb purely because it's a golden oldie from Warwick but there's not much point having it if I'm never going to gig it (and I won't). The bass is generally in great condition for 21 years old. It has been a 'players' bass and as such there is wear around the top of the pickups (proper early EMGs) and parallel with the E string but this would be considered mojo on a Fender and is barely noticeable from a distance. No issues with the bass and I'm about to strip, clean, wax and set it up with a fresh set of Warwick EMP strings. Other than looking fantastic it has the lovely early Warwick slim neck, which you can get a bit more info on by visiting the Warwick forum or have a look through the thread on this forum re. Warwicks. Being the early JD model (truss rod plate is logo'd) it has the sculpted headstock rear and the tuning spacers (which are intact). With regard to what I want. I'm 'mainly' interested in a nice NT Spector or 'early' Warwick Streamer Stage I (no later than 89 and the earlier the better), though I could be swayed for something like a Zon or similar unusual and light bass. If the Spector is a USA I'll balance it out with cash or if it's a Euro LX etc then cash the other way. A deal with an unusual/rare Streamer 'could' involve me looking at putting cash to it but only for one or two specific Warwick Ltd Ed basses that I have in mind. PM me what you have.
