Eboclive Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Nice looking bass. Can you tell me some specs? What is the body and neck wood? I presume the fingerboard is ebony? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 2003 model so hopefully Warwick could give you chapter and verse - the serial number is D-098957-03 Already have some interest via PM on the bass just so you know.....

Satrugar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The neck is definitely Ovangkol, as you can see on the pics. Fingerboard should be (and looks like) ebony, it's standard on Warwick fretless basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for the clarification - I mainly play Sadowsky/Suhr and am unused to these exotic woods :-) the thumb does sound gorgeous though so they must make a difference.....

thisnameistaken Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 That weight sounds about right to me, Thumb basses are surprisingly heavy for how small the bodies are; my Thumb 4 is heavier than my mate's Stingray 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I spotted this on eBay and messaged you about your reserve price, just out of interest... And here it is! Beautiful bass. Out of my current budget range unfortunately but good luck with the sale. It deserves a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
