rmcki Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Warwick Thumb BO 5 string [size=5][b]£750 including delivery to the UK[/b][/size] [url="http://s738.photobucket.com/user/rmcki68/slideshow/Warwick%20Thumb%20BO%205"]http://s738.photobucket.com[/url] For sale is a recently acquired thumb, bought from eBay. This was my second attempt to get into a Thumb which has not come off. Bass has had some TLC, but is in great nick for a 20 year old German instrument. All the hardware is new and a new MEC vol pot and jack socket has been added. Very little fret wear and everything functioning as it should. There is some obvious wear on the neck pickup, shown in the pictures. Serial # K-021793-95 Wenge Neck and Fretboard! Brass nut Ovangkol body New black hardware 9 volt pre-amp Mec pickups Finish on the body is just liberon finishing oil, which provides a great protective barrier Price includes delivery to the UK only, hard case, padded 3” strap and strap locks.

Grangur Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 This bass seems to have a real shine to it for oiled finish. Did you photograph it fresh,y oiled, or has it been polished with something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcki Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 This product dries hard, so the more layers you put on the more gloss it gets, I put on 5 coats with 24 hours between layers. It nourishes and enhances the colour of wood. Its's hard wearing and Water, heat, alcohol and food acid resistant. Found this when i was designing furniture many moons ago.

NickD Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Man that's pretty! Does that finish negate the need for oiling, or would you still oil over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcki Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 The finish is an oil product, it just goes hard, so you would not need to oil over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Warren Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm very interested in the bass but strongly dislike that finish (no offence intended). Can it be removed easily and returned to the standard matte oil finish without damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass would need to be disassembled then i would suggest 1800 grit sandpaper would leave the bass with a light satin finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
