Chris2112 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Very nice, there have been a couple of these early walnut Thumbs on here recently.
Thornybank Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Just this one, I think.... Put up, swapped to Rumour6 for his fab+ USA 62VRI P, then to me....
andy67 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Nice bass and really lovely to play! Buy with confidence from this seller, thorny is a good bloke and sells only decent equipment.
Thornybank Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 As per PM from Italy... ...distance no object. ...p/x happily considered.
Thornybank Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Your amp says do it.... do it....
andy67 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Welcome back Chris. hope you had a good time in the States.
Thornybank Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Keeping it live As always, happy to ponder swaps
krispn Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Had a very brief play on this and its super comfortable ( kinda forgot it was a 5'er) and a very up front jazz tone - Burpy like it had just shotgunned a can of fizzy pop... Did I mention the neck is sublime?
TheGreek Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I was on the Warwick forum earlier today - somebody looking for a Thumb 5 there IIRC...
shizznit Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 What kit would you consider to swap/px for this fine instrument?
andy67 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Some tone this instrument has! Big beefy bottom B string thunder.
Thornybank Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Jeepers Had a 55-02 - prefer the G&L 5500, but could flip it...? Had an EBS 650 - too clean, 350s not pulling much dosh Had an iAmp800 - not enuff grunt, best thorugh theri won (£££) cabs Had an Eden 410 - Fender head almost tore it apart Don't suppose you have something that isn't in your list...?
rapscallion Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Any interest in a four string EBMM 'Ray? Black black maple with Hipshot D-Tuner?
Thornybank Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 The market speaks.... Mintish orig cased Rays seem to pull £650. Maybe £700 with hipshot if orig key incl. Subject to condish and such ref above... ...I'd have to see 'nother £200, anyway. Is it a clean pre-satin/gloss neck con muchos birdseyes?
