warwickhunt Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) I have to visit Solihull on Sunday to collect a bass so if anyone would like to buy my Thumb bass and you live anywhere on the M1 corridor between Newcastle and Solihull, I can deliver in person! Make me an offer between now and then and we'll see what we can do. Pics and details here...

warwickhunt Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 Too many Warwick Thumbs available?
josh3184 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 apparently if this was lefty then you might have had a pm already though

tauzero Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Well, I love the 87 JD I own (I've never encountered a more playable 4-string) and I live just up the road from Solihull. I'm a bit strapped for cash though, I suppose you'd want a bit more than a tenner and half a packet of wine gums?

rjb Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 [quote]Too many Warwick Thumbs available?[/quote] Yes, so if you drop it to my door I'll be kind and give you £20. Perhaps £25 if I'm in a particularly good mood.
warwickhunt Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 Time is slipping away as I need to be off first thing tomorrow morning!
warwickhunt Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 OK as it happens my best laid plans went awry (no new bass for Johnnie-Poos) and no-one took me up on my offer of free personal door to door delivery any way! This bass still needs a new home so if anyone fancies treating themselves to a Crimbo pressie, it's here for the taking.
Chipps Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 You're not after any (six string) guitars are you? That's about all I have to trade I'm afraid... (Unless you're into mountain biking...) Despite having a 'wick Corvette, I now want another Warwick, so there ARE some people out there who want Warwicks, so don't lose heart...

Oddly enough I think Wicks are starting to turn a corner and I've had some interest lately. Christmas is one of those weird periods where there are some tightening their belts to spend cash on their families and a handful of others looking to splash cash to get something for themselves!
warwickhunt Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 'A genuine amount of interest but no offers on the table' type bump.
warwickhunt Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 An 'I thought I had this bass sold to Italy but it's fallen through' type bump Anyone who I put off because of the Italian deal who wants to come back at me with an offer give me a shout!
Dubs Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Did you get my PM on the 14th? Not received a reply...

Gamble Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I wish I played 4's so I could justify buying this............ seriously tho, I never play 'em!

Chipps Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I didn't think that Italy was on the way to Solihull anyway Still a fine bass, but probably way over my limit of funds...

Nice to know that Italian garages are as expensive as over here.
warwickhunt Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 Just to add that if anyone has an interesting trade (cash either way) I'd be interested but not a Fender, thanks. Downsized Fender clones might be considered but nothing big and/or heavy.
warwickhunt Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 No interest in getting a Thumb shaped Christmas pressie?
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Just managed to sell mine on the 'bay for a pretty good price - at long last! Mark [quote name='warwickhunt' post='360313' date='Dec 21 2008, 04:37 PM']No interest in getting a Thumb shaped Christmas pressie?[/quote]

Mark[/quote] Nice one. I'm not desperate to drop the price on mine in order to sell, so I'll hang fire till later next year if need be.
