littleal Posted October 7, 2010 Share 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 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I would also consider a trade for a 5 string thumb or streamer or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUROSTEVE Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bump great looking bass, mate plays thumb 6 really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted October 9, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted October 30, 2010 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
