These basses "don't get any better than this" to quote a TV chef type person. If i didn't already have one I would snap this up. It has extras too - what is wrong with you guys. BUY THIS NOW. Good luck and post my sales commision to the usual address please. Cheers Dave [/quote] Haha! Thanks man! I will let you have a go on whatever i get next as part of your comission! And i agree...BUY THIS NOW!! Haha!

Folk'll trip over themselves to snap up Fenders for this kind of money but ignore rare opportunities to get basses like this. Very strange.

These early warwicks really are stunning instruments, so well built with an incredible tone! Shame i need the money, or i would be able to keep her!
jimbobothy Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Agree with the above post, I've had many wicks and I prefer their tone over most basses, have a bump on me!

Thank you! Played a 1989 streamer and it was stunning, almost made me trade in various basses, there's just something about these early warwicks!

vindi Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Hi Wilko I have been after one of these for years but like most people I am financially embarrassed. I don't suppose there is any way you would consider trading it for my beloved 1971 fender telecaster guitar. [attachment=83865:telecaster_1.jpg] [attachment=83866:telecaster_3.JPG] Regards Vindi
alanbass1 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) With all the basses I have my Thumb NT is my go to bass for gigs, great instruments Edited July 3, 2011 by alanbass1

Is it all original etc? jamie[/quote] Hi Jamie Unfortunately not all original any more. I've had to get the machine heads changed & the pup's - as they were no longer serviceable - had them all done professionally, & it was also re-fretted in the 80's. The new pup's were made by "kent armstrong" to my spec. I got the guitar in about 83. Its a 1971 CBS era model. It was fret dressed & set up last year. I hadn't intended to sell it and it has been gigged regularly over the last 30 years & plays like a dream. I have two other guitars as well now so it is surplus to requirements. I've only got the one bass & would like the thumb to complete my collection. I can remember trying one out back in the early 90's & loving it but couldn't afford one back then. If you need any more info PM me & we can email or phone etc. Cheers vindi
