sleevey Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Looks like Wenge fingerboard to me.......Ebony doesn't have grain to it and Warwick didn't use it that I know of..beautiful bass though!!
ovialexm1 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Looks wenge because of light... is Ebony! ☺ Warwick used ebony for fingerboard! Edited December 4, 2015 by ovialexm1
ovialexm1 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Bass has the wood combination as I mention.
sleevey Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Please take a closeup of the fingerboard and post

[/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
ovialexm1 Posted December 9, 2015 Author 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. Edited December 9, 2015 by ovialexm1
Dazed Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Warwick can confirm the build details. They offer this free service on their website. You supply some photos and the serial no. and they do the rest.
Matte_black Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I owned a Thumb 5 (2006) with Ebony fingerboard (fretted). It wasn't a custom shop, though.

largo Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Wouldn't the standard SS2 have ying yang inlays too? Guessing this is a custom.

[/quote] Ha, I didn't even notice that glaringly obvious fact! There is no chance it was originally a fretless? Side fret markers in correct place for fretted?
papaya Posted December 17, 2015 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
Kev Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Im still interested in this Are the side position markers in line with the frets or in-between them?
ovialexm1 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) They are between frets... like any other normal bass. Edited January 10, 2016 by ovialexm1

[/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
