FS/FT Warwick Dirty Blonde Thumb Bass, 2006 custom shop built Limited Edition with case. £1150

[Kev]

Up for sale I have the holy grail of Limited edition Warwick, the Dirty Blonde, 4 string version.

Limited edition custom shop built Warwick from 2006 in great condition. Comes with original Warwick Hardcase and complete user kit with certificate. A few marks here and there as can be expected for a 8 year old gigging bass, but as you can see from the pictures in gorgeous condition.

Stunning Poplar Burl top, incredible Tigerstripe Ebony fingerboard and the bass weighs about 8.5lb.


It has been upgraded with the fantastic BRASS Just-A-Nut III from the frankly awful tedur JAN II and is now looks superb.

As you will see in the pictures, the grain on this bass is particularly stunning, incredible ebony board and wonderful burl, as well as the flamed maple neck and ash body.

I'll do this for £1150 shipped to UK, little bit more for EU delivery. Worldwide can be discussed if needed!

Ah, the pictures!

Lots of interest but for the moment is still here. Also listed on eBay

Trade-wise, I am looking at SS1 or SSII 4 strings. Will consider other trades with cash my way, but ideally a cash sale on this one.
