Black Warwick Thumb with gold hardware…any images?

[Kubickiboy]

Sorry if this sounds like a daft question but I've been scouting the world wide cyber interweb to try and find a black Thumb with gold hardware. And I can't see to find one...

Purely for aesthetic reasons I want to change my hardware on my Nirvana Black PS Thumb to gold for extra bling. The chrome looks pretty good but when you've got to do it, you've got to do it... I've tried photoshopping some pix of my own (!) but it's not quite the same.

Anyone got any pix to help out?

That's a beaut...

Great, thanks for sharing. My decision is now cemented!
If I had that Streamer from bass direct, I'd spend most of my gig with my back to the audience just to show off the back of the neck!

[Kubickiboy]

Done and dusted. I'll get the new pix up soon.
I don't care what anyone says about these 'old' Korean PS Warwicks….These feel and sound better than my expensive 2005 Thumb and my Kubicki. A lot thicker and much more variable. Better necks. Brighter with maple. The curved bodies are much more comfortable.
The Thumb comes out top. Streamer is a back up really. The Sterling is for RnR purposes.

I keep looking at this - got a big birthday coming up this year so a new bass could be on the cards though I keep changing my mind as to which I want!

A question for the Warwick aficionados though; that ad on Bassdirect says it's a '91 but I thought they switched to the sloping tuners around 88/89 - is there something odd going on there or have I just got my years wrong?

[Dazed]

No I think you might be right. Sloping tuners were definately much earlier. My 89 dolphin they are angled. Maybe they've been moved? It's only a screw.
It would be worth confirming the serial number to prove the year of manufacture.

That's what I thought - fortunately my birthday's not for a while yet so don't really need to worry about it as I'm sure it'll be gone by then. If not I'll definitely be popping up to check it out (and a load of the other basses they've got).
