Bass Lady Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) [b][size=5]For Sale: 2006 Warwick Thumb BO 4 String - Excellent Condition - SOLD pending payment and collection.[/size][/b] Good evening all. I have up for a grabs my beautiful Warwick Thumb, made in 2006, 4 string bolt on model, made in Germany in an excellent condition. I bought it in 2007 locally, so one previous very careful owner and one lady owner who has only ever loved it! It's never been gigged and has been looked after and waxed regularly. It is now time to find a new owner for it is I am mainly playing fretless these days or my $$ Corvettes and such a great bass needs to be played!! Everything is original and will of course include the Warwick owner's pack including truss rod tool, allen keys and even some wax (about half tin left). The only marks are a couple of very minor scratches on the back (towards the upper horn) which I have shown in the pictures. As mentioned, it is a German made Warwick. These days the Thumb BO model is being made in Korea (and selling for £1500!) so I can only imagine these German made basses are going to get harder and harder to find. I'm living in South Wales and would prefer collection (I'm will to meet up to a reasonable distance), I will post if necessary but haven't looked into postage / courier prices but am guessing about £30. Any questions or queries, please feel free to ask. Edited March 14, 2013 by Bass Lady

marcus bell Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Still really want this bass! Wish I had money LOL
Bass Lady Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 A few more pics of this beautiful bass. Again, the only reason I am selling is that I am playing either fretless or my $$s so it is such a shame for this beauty to be sitting there unplayed.
Bass Lady Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks 3below. Bass is still available. It was mentioned to me that the Thumb BO is still being made in Germany and it is the Pro Series Thumb which is being made in Korea. Having checked this out, this is true, however the German made Thumbs are now only available in Bubinga and RRP is £2699.00 whilst the Pro Series is £1449 and only available high gloss finish, not the natural finish on this one so either way, I do believe this is a fair price for a beautiful, well looked after and all original bass. Make me an offer, you know you want to.....................
sblueplanet Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I have a '99 lefty one of these (see avatar) so have a bump on me. A great gigging & recording bass.
maldy Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Do you what the neck wood is on your bass? Did Warwick switch at some point from ovangol and wenge for the Thumbs? Or am I imagining that...
Bass Lady Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Maldy, it has an ovangkol neck and wenge fingerboard and of course the ovangkol body too. Just checked the paperwork too so 100% sure on this.
Bass Lady Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Sold pending payment and collection. Thank You.
