gerryk Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 OK, just bought a beautiful MTD 535, so selling my Warwick Thumb 5-String Bass with bolt-on neck. This is beautifully made older model with contoured body of exotic woods - Bubinga body and Wenge neck. Wenge is currently favoured by hi-end bass guitar makers for it's stiffness and fast response. This gives this bass one of the best quality low B string sounds available, clear and not woolly like the problem so many 5's suffer. This was my regular 5 for a long time, but the relatively narrow neck does not really suit me, so I moved on to a bass with wider string spacing (MM 5, laced with dead spots, then excellent Lakland US 55-94, which I still cherish!). Some very minor wear from thumb resting above B string while playing, and one other virtually unnoticeable dent. I'm asking 1150 euro ( roughly £1000 I guess) [attachment=44903:Thumb_Front.jpg][attachment=44904:Thumb_Front_CU.jpg][attachment=44905:Thumb_Rear_ CU.jpg][attachment=44906:Thumb_Rear_neck.jpg]
