edstraker123 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Picked up one of these babies today and it's absolutely sweet ! 7 Quote
machinehead Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 That's lovely. It's unusual to see a painted finish on a Warwick. Frank. Quote
Graham Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 I've always loved Thumbs, and that looks brilliant in white 😀 Quote
visog Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 That'll do finger-funk for days with that twin-bridge pick-up arrangement... Quote

Al Krow Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Stunning! From Warwick? Andertons? Thomann? Quote
ezbass Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 That looks great in that finish 😍. Congrats. Quote
edstraker123 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Posted November 10, 2018 I put Labella copper white nylon tapewounds on it last night and not only do they look brilliant they sound utterly amazing. I had to force myself to go to bed as I didn't want to put it down. I saw it on ebay locally for collection only at an amazing price (Gear4 music had it listed at £2266 !) and to be honest bought it with the intention of selling it on but fell in love with it. When I picked it up it was absolutely flawless and came in a quality Gator case rather than the gig bag Warwick sell it in - all case candy included. Probably my best bass purchase to date. 2 Quote
Martbassplaya Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Oh my gosh. That bass in that finish is beautiful. Quote
Guest Marcoelwray Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Thing is that (awful for me) gloss coat totally changes the sound of the instrument.. That Thumb sould be very in the highs and responsive... Quote
CameronJ Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Don’t tell me this is yours, @edstraker123? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Warwick_Thumb_BO5_GPS.html Quote
edstraker123 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Absolutely not !!!!!!! I love it . Edited November 15, 2018 by edstraker123 Quote
CameronJ Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Any temptation in the one above as a backup? 😂 Quote
edstraker123 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Posted November 17, 2018 Maybe a natural wood one just in case ! Quote
