thedontcarebear Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Just got a Vigier last night and Thumb today, asked my housemate to take some photo's as I was busy eating dinner, and he went a bit arty, so these are the least arty, but there aren't many, haha, will take some normal ones sometime. The Vigier is awwwwwwwwwesome! Warwick has the good Warwick Growl, took it apart, waxed it, cleaned etc and restrung it, sounds nice, got a wonky machinehead though where I can see the outline of where it was, not sure why, seems pretty solid. Sandberg has basically kept every other bass I've had for a while out of the picture. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Actually, just fixed the wonky machinehead by taking it off and refitting it, awesome. Quote

thedontcarebear Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 From a bloke on here, actually picked it up from my folks after getting that case from you yesterday! Quote
thedontcarebear Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 Oh and does anyone know what the body of that Thumb is made from? It's from '99. Had fun cleaning it last night, reminded me of cleaning my old Dolphin Pro. Quote

thedontcarebear Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah, it's good to have another Warwick again! My house mate plays bass too and he bums it, haha, if it was 5 string I think he would have already stolen it. Quote
