As construction begins on my new Roscoe fretless, I'm making it official: my hot-rodded Warwick Thumb NT 5 is for sale!
New, these basses go for $4499, and I've added a bunch of value with the electronics upgrades ($285 for Barden PUPs, and another $200 for the Audere 3zB 4-Band preamp). The bass is in excellent condition, I've treated her very well. Also, I have all of the original MEC electronics, and I will throw those in just in case you want to take the bass back to stock condition.
I'm only asking $2999, but I will entertain offers. No trades, please, I need cash to pay for my new Roscoe when it's ready.

Instant $500 price drop, the bass is now just $2499. First come, first serve. |

Great looking in person, too - very nice wood, beautiful curl in the body.

| | | I actually like the sound of the MEC pickups and electronics better. I'm not sure if it's the way the bass sits in the mix of that song or the EQ settings.

What's the saying?? Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission?? |

Owning a music store is incredibly useful when it comes to covering up the depth of your gear acquisition depravity.
Man, I sure hope that TB "spouse filter" is working today |

Man, I sure hope that TB "spouse filter" is working today | ...I just got a message on our voice mail...some very irate female voice going on about her husband spending money profligately and his horrible taste in beer...couldn't understand a word of it...the caller ID didn't have a name, but said it was from Blacksburg, VA... 
...I just deleted it, I hope that was the right thing to do... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
