WARWICK THUMB 6 BOLT-ON unlined fretless as new

jsixties · #1 03-21-2010, 10:43 AM

This bass is a tone moster, purchased only a few months ago brand new as New Old Stock is in fact a expensive whim for me so even its sound and look is unreal, I really don't know what to do with 6 strings. This is known as the perfect GAS attack, you know how it works.
Perfect setup with a very low action, the neck is very easy to play and truly slim.
I will send it with a brand new deluxe hardcase made specifically for this bass (pictures coming) that fits the instrument like a glove, instead of the factory gig bag or the generic hardcase pictured.
Included for free a very nice Ovangkol removable ramp made by my luthier, Warwick wax and all his adjusting tools.

Those basses cost today about 2400 EUR in Europe if you find one. 4599 USD, 3679 street price in the States, take a look at the end of this site:
http://www.basscentral.com/warwick/thumb_bolt_on.shtml
... so having in mind that is in as new condition I think 2295 USD + shipping to your home for a straight sale is a bargain for this stunning piece.

Talking about trades adjusting cash:
Any good fretted 4 strings could suit me well but my all times favourites are:
Fender Jazz Bass Custom Shop or Vintage Reissues or a Ultra Vintage Sadowsky. Also Laklands or Stingrays could work.
Also a good Telecaster CS, '52 RI or '62 RI or a Gibson ES-335 cherry could be of my interest.
Anyway feel free to send me any proposal through PM please and we talk about it.
Thanks!

Warwick Thumb BO Fretless Bass
Though the distinctive body design is a favorite of players worldwide, the Thumb Bolt-on has many features that separate it from its peers. The ovangkol body wood is both beautiful and harmonically resonant. Its MEC active pickups and electronics give you the broadest range of tones and textures. 3-piece ovangkol neck with ebony fingerboard. Black hardware. Gigbag included.

Why... WHY is it unlined... sorry man

Good luck though, because that is a serious bargain!

Hi mate, for me 6 strings are a jungle, don't mind fretted or fretless, unlined or not.

Grab this bargain so this bass is a work of art and it will not last long at this price.

I'm pretty sure all Warwick fretless models have Tigerstripe ebony boards.

if you have the serial number, go to www.warwick.de and input the number to their serial lookup form. it will tell you the woods used in the body and neck + original configuration.

i can't see the pics at work, so you can do this when you get around to it...
