An elusive beast is the Warwick singlecut 6-string...

[Scott S]

Hi guys,

I'm pretty sure that it didn't appear to me in a dream, and my body temperature is 36.5 degrees C, so it couldn't have been an image induced by a febrile state. Tell me, the Warwick singlecut 6-string really does exist...doesn't it?

If indeed it does exist then where can I find one of these shy, woodland creatures, and how much cash will I have to con out of my lovely bank manager to become the proud father of one of these rather splendid musical coffee tables?

I'm damned if I can find one this side of Google Images. Help me, Basschat.co.uk, you are my only hope.

The Warwick Thumb SC 6 was reviewed in a recent issue of Bass Guitar Magazine (Issue 96 - October 2013).

Its price was a lofty £4749, and they suggest you contact Warwick.de directly to order one.

Here are links to the basses in question from the Warwick website;

Gulp...£4749? Blimey! I think that it can stay hidden in the woodland contemplating its' pending extinction. I'm off to the Sei website!

Cheers Shobaleader One.

And once you've done that check out ACG - get a lot of love on here and their Recurve could possibly be of interest.

+1!
If its just the singlecut aspect of the the Thumb Bass SC 6 string you like, I would definitely consider some UK based luthiers.
You can't go far wrong with ACG, I've got of them, 3 of them singlecuts and they're sublime

This Shuker is one of the few singlecuts I really like, looks stunning

I thought they were still looking for a tree big enough to make it.

and another ACG recommendation from me

[deepbass5]

The best selling point is you can lay it on a rack stand - play it like a pedal steel and there's room for your fish and chip suppa on the side.
