 I’ve decided to go through the painful decision of parting ways with my lovely ‘98 6 string Warwick Thumb BO. The only reason why I’m letting this go is to help fund a new Vigier, and I simply can’t justify hanging onto too many basses nowadays. I’ve owned it since 2007 and it’s served me very well in that time. It’s only been gigged a few times, so most playing has been at home - in a smoke free house. It's just had a set up, clean and new set of strings, the frets are now super shiny. I used a few different Music Nomad products on it, it's come up really nicely. 

Tone on this beastie is great, it’s got that classic Warwick sound that I love, with a nice broad range of dynamics. For tappers and such, the action is nice and low making it a nice and easy to play. It’s not too low to cause any buzz, and it still allows you to really dig in when playing finger style - I’m quite an aggressive player so really appreciate being able to really get some good attack on the strings without any farting or buzzing.

There are a couple of dings but nothing major, I’ve tried to highlight them as much as possible in the pictures.

I can give you my strap if you want it, it’s an old leather one. If not, that’s all good!

I will have this with me at the Guitar Show in Birmingham this weekend, on the High Tech Distribution stand. I'll be giving it a good detailed clean with Music Nomad products so people can see how awesome the stuff is. Please drop by if you're there, you're welcome to have a play on it!

Thanks! :D I've currently got my mitts on a 4 string Excess, and I'll be taking delivery of a sexy new 5 string Excess next month! Oh don't you worry, I will indeed! 

I have my new Excess 5 coming in next month too, hopefully. The only basses for me now. Love them so much. Looking forward to comparing notes ;) 

PS Lovely Warwick. I had a couple and they are great basses. GLWTS.

Will do. I've had my number 1 for 3 years now and it has surpassed all expectations. Looking forward to the new one arriving. Did you post pics of yours somewhere? So good to meet another Excess player ;)

Hi,

I'm very tempted, won't be in a position to commit until March payday though, if you sell before then that's fine. 

I'm in the Isle of Man so I'd need to do a road trip either way.

would you have any trips North planned for end of March?

cheers

Alan
