littleal Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I've just recieved my new wal sixer so its time to let my trusty warwick go, It's one of the first bolt on neck thumbs with the smaller walnut body, wenge neck & slightly warmer tone. the condition is exellent apart from very slight wear around one of the pickups from playing. Idealy i'm looking for a trade for a yamaha trb john pattitucci 6 string, or something interesting ?? or £1000 + postage just a quick note: this is a rare bass & is the only one i've ever seen in the flesh.

littleal Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 I would also consider a trade for a 5 string thumb or streamer or something similar.

EUROSTEVE Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Bump great looking bass, mate plays thumb 6 really nice.
pantherairsoft Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Gorgeous. Unusual to see one with Silver hardware is it not? Does this have the tight 16.5-17mm strif spacing like the current ones, or is it wider? Shep

Shep[/quote] Cheers, the early ones all had chrome hardware, it has standard string spacing 16-17 mm, i think the small body makes the neck look wider Al
littleal Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 Bump, looking to trade for a 5 string thumb ??
Chris2112 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Whatever happened to the fretless Thumb 6'er you had for sale here?
Bill Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Would love this bass, im on the lookout for a nice warwick 6 string at the moment. i own a 5 string streamer but love it too much to trade it/sell it. Bump for a great looking bass.

littleal Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 This is still up for a trade, I'm looking for a 5 string thumb or streamer stage 1 or something interesting,
slapierro Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 hi littleal, don't you think it's an Ovenkol body and a broad-neck too? it seems very similar as one i've owned it's not for boring you

littleal Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 [quote name='max' post='990849' date='Oct 17 2010, 06:27 AM']Any chance of a link to the video clips ? Thanks[/quote] Thanks for the kind words Ziggy This is the youtube clip [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdHjPz9Exqs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdHjPz9Exqs[/url] I thought the sound was a bit rough as it was only the mic on my camera that was picking up the sound from my amp & it was my first attempt at youtube
pantherairsoft Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Any chance of some more pics? Maybe a close up of the body as I've not seen a Walnut bodies thumb before, also the lovely wenge neck? Also, the pic you have given makes it look as though there are no strap pins? Is there a Warwick case included in the sale?
