TDM Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) Love the tone, tiny bit of neck dive, nice neck profile, great playability. Not sure what's up with the headstock but the paint (?) seems to have faded a little. Edited April 24, 2010 by thedonutman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 very nice Joe. isnt it just an ebony facing on the headstock? I had one of these for a week on trial about 10 years ago. loved the really tight compressed tone off it,would have traded my SS1 I had at the time against it but alas the deal didnt go through. always had a hankering for one ever since. if you ever want to move it on to a loving home let me know!

budget bassist Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Very nice, is this what you replaced the black one with then? And yeah, the earlier ones (such as this) had ebony headstock facings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm guessing that came from Josh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbass1 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 What is the fingerboard made from - mine has an ebony board but yours looks different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it from the bass centre in Wapping in 2000 and there were three to choose from, all with Ebony boards: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thumb NT is Tigerstripe Ebony board, there is a strange belief amongst some that all Warwicks come with Wenge nowdays which is not true. Many models use ebony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Gah, stop posting photos of all those lovely Thumb NTs! I love my Thumb BO to bits but it was a bit of a compromise as I couldn't possibly afford the neck-thru at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The bolt on is a great bass. Neck Through is just incredible though! Although I am a wierd one, my favourite 2 are the Katana and Star Bass. Mostly because I'm a big lad and the large bodies sit well on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
