TRADED Warwick Thumb 5 String Bass - Fantastic condition with original Hardcase £899

[Kev]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Up for sale I have this rather nice Warwick Thumb Bolt-On five string bass.

I received [color=#000000]Received this bass yesterday as part of a 3 way trade deal on here. It was always the intention to move her straight on as I don't really have a use for it, so I am offering it up now for cash sale or trade (cash either way).[/color]

[color=#000000]Nice example of a Thumb BO, built in 2000, superb condition, no dings to mention. Cracking bit of Ovangkol, with the grain typically shimmering differently depending on what kind of light you have on it. Great player with a nice low action and no fret buzz. Not weighed but seems around 10lb, will confirm if necessary. Comes in its original hardcase, a basic brown strap and a tin of wax. The JANII has its little tabs missing (I haven't seen one that didn't) but nothing to lose sleep over.[/color]

Awesome bass bump

Is this one of the thinner necks Kev?

If only you done finance

Not one of the slimmer neck models, no. slim neck ovangkol thumbs did not appear until 2009

Several offers on the table but nothing quite 'right' for meat the moment, but don't wait too long

To answer a few queries that have come up:-

Exact weight is 10lb 4oz according to bathroom scales
I am happy to consider trades with cash my way and not just for other basses. Not interested in amplification but other gear could interest me.
The neck has no dings whatsoever and the truss rod works with no issues.
This is very much a Made in Germany model and currently retails over £2000 new I believe.
I am happy to ship to the EU and beyond at cost.

Hi Kev,
I saw the thumb on ebay. I would make an offer but i am waiting to complete on a property sale.....due tomorrow!! Obviously you must take the first decent offer but i am very interested. Keep me posted if you don't mind.
Thanks Nick

[Kev]

No problem, Nick. I'll keep you posted

[andytoad]

How would you describe the neck kev? Down at the headstock, does it feel like a fender c size?

[Kev]

At the headstock it is more of a D

[Kev]

Bump.

Keen on a cash sale now. A very similar all Ovangkol thumb Bass Direct is offered at Bass Direct for £1,300 at the moment...

Could well be taking it there to sell for that much if it doesn't go on here soon!
