Oldman Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) 1989 Fretless Warwick 4 String Thumb NT Bass This is a feeler as this bass looks great next to my ’88 fretted, photographing it now and checking it out makes me realise why I bought it in the first place, but no Jack am I. I also shelved my dream of owning a ‘6 Pack’ of Warwick NT Thumbs. I bought this bass to compliment my Fretted ’88 which I have owned since new, it did and it does. I have never gigged this bass, hardly ever noodled it (I don’t know why either, another ‘Vanity Project’ I guess). It is in immaculate condition, no movement at all in the laminate on the neck. Its Wenge and Bubinga I believe. There’s a slight, lighter, discolouration surrounding the EMG pickups which could indicate a change of ‘pup’s’ prior to my ownership, although there is no evidence of router activity. Volume Push/Pull active passive, blend and bass/treble. Strung with La Bella Flats it does sound ‘organic’ but punchy, if that makes sense. The bass fits into a ‘teardrop’ bass case with contours to secure it in place for travel. With regards to condition, it is immaculate apart from the previous mentioned slight discoloration and two other marks addressed below. None of which effect its playability. However there is a slight depression on the edge of ebony board around what would be the 10 fret, about 1mm in circumference and about .5mm in depth, quite unnoticeable unless you’re close up. There is also a slight mark on the face of the board which is about 18mm in length just around the 11th position, this will polish out. Both marks completely invisible unless you know they are there and you are looking for them. These marks are a result of a music stand grazing the bass whilst it was resting hung up on a wall bracket. I have captured this mark at its worst. “Paddle” headstock serial number and year of construction Asking £1,450.00, for this piece of magnificent Luthiery. No Trades thanks unless you have a 5 string fretless dragonfly 35” scale and cash. But you can try. Any questions please ask away, offers, trades PM only thanks for looking Edited August 1, 2019 by Oldman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
