warwickhunt Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 [quote name='LukeFRC' post='884184' date='Jul 2 2010, 05:55 PM']maple bodied thumb? thats not normal is it?[/quote] Not normal at all but you can order pretty much any combination you like on a Warwick Custom bass. That does lead me to believe that his quoted original purchase price is just for an off the shelf Thumb. I'd also prepare for the worst and assume the LEDs are kapput because it'd take nothing to fix if the problem is simply a battery wiring loom, you'd get it fixed if it was that easy... well most people would anyway!

D-L-B Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 How difficult do you think it would be to sand back through all that horrible blue? Quote
AndyTravis Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 see, that blue really does it for me... i'd buy, but i'm skint as a bint. Quote

It could be done though. Quote
budget bassist Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I saw this the other day, i think it's absolutely gorgeous! Quote
TDM Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 It looks like a fantastic bass but to me the appeal of Thumbs (and Warwicks in general) is the Wenge/Bubinga. Quote
kevbass Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Hmmmm, a neck thru custom shop thumb for 650? does anyone else not think that's a little too good to be true? I wonder if there is an issue with it or something. Perhaps I'm just being a little too cynical Quote
