LukeFRC Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 mine is G135 85 - so not that far from your one - to be honest I would be surprised if Warwick were making 30 basses a month back in 1985! I wonder how many of these early short horn thumbs did get made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaNoFuNkY Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Lovely! Could you comment on the width/depth of the neck? I'm aware that the necks seem to change over the years - am I right in thinking that the early thumbs had "slimmer" necks than the later models? Best of luck with the sale!

[/quote] This one has indeed a slim neck, 39mm mut width with a comfortable c-profile. Also the feel of the neck is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
