Scooby Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) [b][/b]Here's my Warwick Thumb NT 4 that is happily snuggled in its Warwick gig bag out of the cold! It hasn't been gigged for a while and I'm wondering whether it might find a new home - not 100% certain I want to let it go but it just isn't getting used. Here's the spec from Warwick: Bass: Thumb NT 4 string Bass Serial Number: E-2301-90 Year: 1990 Month: May Number: 2301 Neck Wood: 4 pcs. Wenge Wood with Bubinga Stripes Fingerboard: Wenge Wood Frets: Bronze Warwick Frets Nut: Just a Nut I Brass Version (originally) Neck construction: NeckThrough Construction Body: 2 pcs. Bubinga solid wood/ Surface: Oil Finish Pickups: JJ MEC Pickups Active Electronic: MEC 2-Band electronics Hardware: Warwick Black Hardware The bass it's been thoroughly set-up, new strings etc and lovingly waxed (the bass guys, the bass...). The main pic is by the original store owner and the second body pic is the bass now after a few loving touches ;o) These basses cost £2500 new, but this beauty is from the period when Warwick used slightly lighter woods (and better quality too). It's all original, sounds fantastic but you knew that already ;o) A very reluctant sale but needs must (no, I haven't got GAS, just bills to pay (( [attachment=69334:WarwickThumb.gif] Price-wise I'm looking for [b]£1095[/b] Edited January 28, 2011 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a beaut! The body wood is one of the most unusual I've seen on a Thumb. The pattern changes depending on the light and from which position the bass is in! A really tactile bass - I'm almost convincing myself not to part with it, hmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I agree with others. You'll regret getting rid of this one. I've got the 89 with EMG's and they were by far one of the best basses on the market at the time. I would never dream of parting with such a collectors item. Very rare, very exceptional - don't do it !!!! Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note :- not 100% sure but don't think the more recent Thumbs have the pearl fret markers on the neck. ? Good luck anyroads Cheers Dave Edited January 23, 2011 by dmccombe7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
