TRADED! unique Warwick Custom Thumb b.o.6 broad-neck"Bleach Blond"NEW LOWER PRICE

Sign in to disble this ad
EDIT NEW & LOWER PRICE:$2600!

Hello to every TBier,
Here is for sale an unique Warwick Custom bolt-on 6 strings
broad-neck,it is the #245 Custom Thumb,
do you remember the 2003 limited edition "Bleach Blond"?
well i was dreaming about this bass but in a 6 strings and broad-neck version, so i sent an order to the 'wick Custom shop
and got this stunning bass,i paid it around $4300,if i put it on sale it's because i've already enough great basses that i use
really more than that Custom Warwick,here is the specs:
-3 pieces maple neck with maple fingerboard and incrusted inlays witch are evolving moon behind a mountain,24 alloyed bronze/cooper frets,yes this neck is wide with an almost flat fingerboard and a round neck profile,
-ash body with flamed maple top matched on the headstock,
-chrome hardware including 'wick strap-lock and a 'wick strap,
-2 regular Mec soapbar pickups and Mec preamp:vol.with a push/pull for active/passive,pickups pan and a stacked bass,treble boost/cut,9v. battery,
-width at nut:55mm,at the 24th fret:10mm and at the bridge:
+ or - 98mm,(sorry if it's not measured in inch)
-the 3 knobs (with one stacked are custom ones:chrome and white abalone cap,not on the pics),
-just-a-nut III and Warwick,a big dress handkercief including:
'wick help book,'wick wax,a T tool for set-up truss-rod and 2 allen keys for set-up the 3-D bridge and a small strip of paper specifying the Thumb Custom built and at last the whole bass and other stuff in a Premium Rockbass bag,i didn't have the fliyt-case given usualy for custom order because of the width of this 6 strings Thumb,
useless to say that with that wood combo,this Thumb is incredibly so light!
If you already played on a standart Thumb i think that you know how much heavy can be these basses,
as i said above i paid that custom $ around 4300 (what is not
the most expensive among others Custom model),
my price is $2600 + oversea shipping,yes i'm a Parisian amateur bassist
i'm well experienced in making a good safety parcel,no worries,
some pics coming from the Warwick web-site,i'll put soon my own ones,
if you need others specs or if i did a mistake with it,let PM me or emails,
thank you for having take a look,and anyway:6 strings for ever!!!







Tuesday Bump and a lower price:$2600!

TRADED on Basschat UK

You bought this bass initially for $4300? Wow, that was some price hike...I'm sure this would cost closer to $8000 if one was to order this from Warwick now.

Bump for an A W E S O M E deal. I wish I was good enough to play a six so I could buy this!

Yes you're right CFclef,that's why us european are more facilitated than US for few brands
like Warwick,Humanbase,etc...even Yamaha,while the most of US brands are untraceable or really expensive in Europa
Thanks a lot for your kind bump

This is a cool Bass. I would not mind having it but I am unsure about purchasing from overseas.

Someone want to clue me in on how this can be done safely from an indavidual?

Bump.
