FS: 99 Warwick Thumb BO 5 string.

Year: 1999
Ovangkol body, one barely noticable blemish just above front pickup
Wenge neck
Wenge fingerboard, no visible wear
34” scale
Black hardware
Hardshell Warwick case included, some typical road-wear
New D'Addario strings
Brass frets recently cleaned & polished, very minimal wear.
MEC Active Electronics
MEC J/J pickups, slight wear
Includes Warwick issued allen wrenches
Asking price: $1250 firm, shipped to lower 48

It has been my joy to own this bass since 2003, and I have played it primarily in our church worship band. According to previous owner, before I acquired it, it was used as a studio bass. With the exception of very minimal wear and one very subtle blemish just above the front pickup (a slight indentation but zero discoloration), it is in superb condition. Feels, plays, and growls exactly like a Thumb should!

Brass frets have been recently cleaned and polished. Fingerboard has also been recently (and lovingly) cleaned and hand-buffed.

Two weeks ago, I had to replace the 9V baterry snap-connector. Wire leads were soldered, re-sealed with heat-shrink tubing, and covered with electrical tape (just for good measure). Electronics are still absolutely noise-free.

I have been supremely satisfied with this bass. The ONLY reason I'm selling is because I recently got the itch for a more classic sound, and I know I will truly miss this bass.

Pics will be provided asap

Would prefer sale over trade, but might consider trade for a recent model Fender American Deluxe Jazz Active 5 string - prefer black finish w/ shell PG.
