Yep 
Warwick Thumb BO Broad (Wide) Neck 6er.
I just got this nice bass and I really thought I can handle it but I can't  It's a great bass and it really sounds awesome.
Bubinga body, Ovangkol neck, Wenge board, MEC soapbars and MEC preamp. weights 13.9 lbs and the string spacing is 20mm. Excellent condition, a few dings but nothing too bad. There was a little crack on the back of the neck but it's been repaired professionally and it's not an issue at all. Comes in a beaten but functional Warwick case...
I would love to trade it for a Thumb BO 5er or a FNA JazzMan 5er but I will consider other offers.
Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions.

I'll agree that it LOOKs a lot like bubinga, but stock Thumb BOs were ovangkol-bodied. My 10 cents(w/apologies to Maki ).

It looks like all stock Thumb BO are Ovangkol bodied, but none of the pics I've seen looked like mine. I'm gonna stick with Bubinga for now |

Yall are a bunch of wusses. My Streamer LX6 wideneck has about five bounds on that thumb... 
For anyone that has never tried one of these, that big intimidating looking 20mm spaced 6 string fingerboard is surprisingly easy to negotiate. I'd take one over that obnoxious 17.5mm crap that seems to pop up on every other 5+ string bass.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: New York | | | the neck is very easy to navigate, i felt more at home on this bass than any other 6 string ive played(pregibson tobias, mtd, other warwicks, modulus -included!). this thing sounds awesome, i sold it to danny to fund a bass i have been lusting after for about 5 years....so it was a necessary sale...dont hesitate to snag it up!
and FYI-it is ovankol...neck and body. no bubinga involved, and the only wenge is the fretboard.
