FS: 1998 Warwick Thumb BO

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD!!! For Sale: a 1998 Warwick Thumb Bolt-on, 4-string, in excellent condition. 1998 is the last full year Warwick used the thin-profile, ultra-playable three-piece wenge necks on TBOs; this one's particularly nice, and the bass had a full fret level and dress and setup about three months ago. She's totally stock except for a new Neutrik output jack I had installed during the fretwork. The bass plays like butter, and growls with authority – in fact, I find this particular TBO to have a smoother, more rounded tone than is typical of a Thumb (and I've played a bunch – it took me three years to find a pre-1999 TBO good enough to add to my stable).

This one's got a little play wear in the typical spots on the body (pickup covers, just above neck pickup), but the hardware's all fine and there are no major dings on either the ovangkol body or the neck. Comes with a practically brand new Warwick RockBag (later, better model) and the black leather strap pictured since it's got Straploks installed.

Asking $975 shipped to CONUS, which is a deal since the bass plays basically like new thanks to the fretwork. No international deals (I may consider Canada, but at the buyer's extra cost), and no trade offers, please.

I'm selling my entire rig (“life needs” … gotta do what you gotta do); please check my other FS items for some killer gear!

Ohhh. Any interest in a ballot box used as a prop on Battlestar Galactica?

Bump for a killer bass. I would buy it hands down if my pocket would allow. Unless I can sell some things...

TTT in honor of a 500-yard Tom Brady passing game. I'm going to give this a few more days, then it's off to the 'bay with her ... and that'd be a damn shame ...

Recently snagged one from the same year. I think wenge has heroin in it- it's that good.
