Hey folks,

Well I've got a P bass and that seems to take care of my bass needs at the moment so I'll see if anyone wants to buy this!

I have a German built 2004 Warwick Thumb BO 5 Broadneck unlined fretless. I bought it from this forum a while back and it is in very good condition and AFAIK these are very hard to come by to be honest, A previous owner had a luthier take a skim off the original factory board (I asked how much and about 0.3 mm!) to make is super even and this results in the action being very low. The body and neck are ovangkol, the board is ebony (with dots on the side of the neck in the correct fretless position). The neck has a fairly flat profile and feels pretty slim considering it's a broadneck version. It also has MEC soapbars and the spacing is slightly adjustable and can range from 18 - 20 mm or there abouts. The preamp is an MEC 2 band bass/treble cut and boost and it comes with a set of black Schaller strap locks. There is a little bit over glue overspill that happened when a previous owner installed the just a nut 3. There are also a couple of very small marks here and there but they are very minimal, the bass is really in good condition.

I'd now like £? with the bass collected from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire only please. I'll also include a Warwick soft case.

I bought the matching fretted bass from Jim last week and it is a great guitar. Love the broadneck it really is a beautiful thing. Seriously considering selling my b/o 4 thumb and buying this!

Would you be interested in a German 4 string $$ corvette?

[paul_5]

Shame I'm absolutely brassic.

[andyonbass]

Fabulous price!! Any neck dive when strapped on?

[OutSpoon]

I bought the fretted version from Jim a few months ago - and have been doing a regular gig every Monday for 3 hours (without a break!) .... it's not as heavy as you would think, and the balance is awesome. Great sound. :-)

[andyonbass]

Thats an insane price!

I hope someone grabs whats got to be the best bargain on the forum currently..... good luck with the sale!
