Warwick Thumb 5BO - Pending sale - *SOLD* £1350 Bournemouth, Wimborne, Dorset

[gavc]

For sale is my Warwick Thumb Bolt-on 5 String, in excellent condition. Manufactured in November 2003, I've owned it from new, bought via PMT in Birmingham. It has ovangkol body and neck, wenge fingerboard. Plays beautifully and sounds exactly as you'd expect.
I gigged this in my function band at the time for a couple of years, so it has the usual very slight signs of use...Since then it's had light home use only hence why it's still in excellent condition. The neck has no marks and is lovely and smooth to play, no fret wear, the body looks great as well, no signs of buckle-rash or anything like that. The MEC pickups logos had gold paint originally I remember that quickly wore away to leave black-indented logos...this seems common with Warwicks. Weighs 10lb4oz (4.6Kg) on my scales.
Original Black hardware, with the adjustable nut, all working perfectly. Active MEC pickups with volume/active/passive, pickup-sweep and treble/bass controls.
Included are the original Owner Manual, truss rod tool and Warwick body wax, also a Bodyglove gig bag.
Would prefer collection from Bournemouth area as I'd rather the buyer got to see & play this for themselves before buying. Can meet up if it's a reasonable distance in return for fuel. Cash/Bank transfer only.
Genuinely sad to see this go, but it deserves to be used and appreciated!
