[/quote] This will have to be a custom order, as wenge was the standard for SSII fretted basses, unless this was originally a fretless Close up picture would quickly reassure buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovialexm1 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I took another look at bass so: Fingerboard: Ebony 😉 P.S. I bought this bass personally from USA about 5 years ago and cannot contact the previous seller to find out the exact history of bass. Do not know why cannot post more pics but those are interested in bass can recive more photos in e-mails.

Matte_black Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I owned a Thumb 5 (2006) with Ebony fingerboard (fretted). It wasn't a custom shop, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Wouldn't the standard SS2 have ying yang inlays too? Guessing this is a custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaya Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 That is true, no inlays... this will help: http://www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Support--Serial-Number.html#current_site_id Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Im still interested in this Are the side position markers in line with the frets or in-between them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovialexm1 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) They are between frets... like any other normal bass. Edited January 10, 2016 by ovialexm1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I previously asked if it maybe used to be a fretless, hence the ebony board and lack of inlays. I didn't get an answer so I thought I would check another way Its a cool custom order bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
