Lovely basses, nice weight too, ultra comfy, just a beast of a bass.
MarkusWarwick Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) £1225................offers considered Edited December 15, 2012 by MarkusWarwick
maldy Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Lovely bass - how can you get rid of this!! How does it compare to a normal thumb bolt on?
MarkusWarwick Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 Its really incomparable. Keeps all the best attributes but really enhances everything with a cool clarity to go with the growl!
MarkusWarwick Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 £1075 final drop peeps, decent day at the office means im ok to pass on a good saving! Go for it, £1075 (shippings only £20 or so)
MarkusWarwick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Bump (Would consider trade with Ss1, ss2, buzzard, stryker) Edited December 20, 2012 by MarkusWarwick
maldy Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Hey mate, what is it that is missing from this Warwick, that the Ss1, Ss2 etc have? I think you are selling for a great price and I'm sure if my normal thumb is anything to go by then this bass will be outstanding.
MarkusWarwick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 The main difference is the neck and 3 band eq. This has the typical thumb dimensions which mean its a little wider than a streamer but still really easy to play. The ss1 and ss2 also have the 3 band eq instead of the 2 band on the Thumb. Thats really the just of it mate, im really a streamer player, more than a thumb guy, thats all it comes down to if im honest
maldy Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 That makes total sense. I love my Thumb, but agree it pretty much has one type of sound. If you like it and it suits the music you play then it is perfect. However, my little experience of Streamers is that they have a lot more sound variety. The Streamer $$ I once owned had quite a chunky neck, as compared to the Thumb. Do you know if that is true of all Streamers?
MarkusWarwick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 Not at all, the Thumb has amazing variety, its just that theres a slight dimensional difference between the Thumb and streamer necks, and again, depends on the woods as to the sound you get from them. Iv always been really comfortable with streamers and thinkin of addin one more custom to the collection!
maldy Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Wasn't saying your Thumb doesn't have a lot of variety - poorly worded reply by me! Sorry if it came across like that. I find with my Thumb that I don't vary the sound much - I pick it up and play because it is perfect. I meant to say that I didn't feel the need to vary the tone. I hardly ever tinker with it, because it has a good standard sound. I love the Thumb so much and would never sell mine. I found the Streamer had so many sounds options I just couldn't decide which one to use!! If I had the money (and space) I would definitely buy your Thumb. I would love to have a dirty blonde and a bleached blonde! Again I think you are selling this limited edition bass at a great price.
MarkusWarwick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 Yeah im lettin it go for a steal if im honest, and its costin me a pack to let go considerin what i bought it for, but iv got my eye on a few things that could see this shifted sooner rather than later Really hate to get rid of it, but needing to free up space :/
maldy Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Just been looking at the cost of new German Warwicks....whoaaaaaa! The prices seem to have gone up loads since I last bought! This bass and some of the others on here are going at really crazy good prices. I really recommend anyone who hasn't tried a Warwick before to give them a go. They are a real quality built basses and sound pretty awesome too.
maldy Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 On the serial at the back of the neck it says: 6/261 I've seen a few dirty blondes starting with 6. Is that maybe the year and the 261 is the number of it?
MarkusWarwick Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 No man it was 6 of 261 of the 4 string run
