SOLD ELSEWHERE Warwick Thumb bass 6 fretless £2450

[Matte_black]

Bought this rare beauty from the original owner who ordered it from Warwick in 1989. He didn't want a lined fretless but asked for small marks on front and they did a good job.
Always used with flats, so the fingerboard is perfect.
Completely stock, it's missing the truss rod cover but I could make a new one out of ebony for free (Warwick charges €35 for that!).
One ding on the back (not easy to see unless in the right light) keeps it from being spotless. Original Warwick gig bag. £2450 plus shipping.
Not interested in trades, honestly. This is the only one of its kind I've seen in 21 years of playing!
For sale on other sites too.

She's a lovely thing, would be a great match for my fretted thumb 6 but sadly money is all spent! I wish you well with the sale. Much better than most modern Warwick's IMHO.

I had a few 2003s, 2005 etc. and they're totally different. I hear that the "recent" standard is high again but a bass like this would retail for €3800, if I remember correctly.
And this one has the cool feature of being made before the Wall fell, I guess

[Matte_black]

Bump!

[Matte_black]

Still available!

I have the same bass ('89 6 str fretless with Barts) totally brilliant bass. I could not recommend this bass highly enough to anyone thinking about it

[Matte_black]

Really? Never seen another one! But I guess it doesn't have the partial lines this one has as a custom feature.

I think it was originally fretted but was made fretless at some point. I think the Dutch death metal bassist has few of them as well I think his name is Jeroen Thesseling. He has around 5 6 string fretless 89 and 90 Thumbs. Great basses

Aaah ok... 'cause fretless 6ers were really scarce.
