The Official Warwick Club (Part 6)

[Lublin]

I'm currently looking for a 5 string Thumb. My budget dictates a bolt on.

Welcome to the forum! Thats a great trio of Warwick basses you've got there! Thanks for sharing - enjoy!

By mine and have it fretted! Then you'll have bo5 with a snappy ebony fretboard.

The photo is not that detailed, but it seems that there is a dot every 6 or 7 frets, and the last fret (the 24th if I am not wrong) has a single dot, not two.

The rest of the bass seems legit to me.
Can that be a custom model or can I be a fake?

HELP FRIENDS!!!

Glad I can finally say after 15 years of lusting after a simple 'wick, I've landed a beaut. Almost seems like Guitar Center didn't know what they had, this bass came LOADED and is in gorgeous condition, practically new. Every bass (except my LTD b-206sm) before this has been a distraction. So stoked, count me in!

Very nice octopoculator! Congratulations on a great bass...thanks for sharing, and enjoy!!

[crustychef]

Very nice! I love active vette's! So aggressive. Someday I'll have an active six string corvette.

After being on the search for a Thumb 5 for a while, I think I found a nice one. Saw this one on eBay and was able to cut a deal with the seller, who is a very nice guy and fairly close by so it won't be shipping far. It's a 1998 Warwick Thumb 5 Bolt On with the most flame I've ever seen on a Thumb in an almost bookmatched pattern with a subdued center section. According to the seller it doesn't have a scratch on it. I should have it by the end of this week or the beginning of the next. Very excited.

Lublin - Congratulations on finding yourself a Thumb bass! That one is a beauty, and the grain is absolutely amazing! Very exciting...be sure to keep us posted!

[TinIndian]

Wow! Nice bass, Lublin! Congrats!

Can I join? Just got this yesterday from here. My first Warwick and it's everything I thought it would be including weight. About 12 lbs but it's cool. I'm a big guy. My old Yamaha TRB was heavy. I have the Wenge neck with wenge fretboard. Electronics are Bart pickups and Aguilar pre. All the growl in the world. I almost wet myself last night at church during rehearsal for the Christmas musical. The tone is sexual.

[WarwickOfficial]

Tewest86 - That is absolutely stunning... The grain is incredible...and with that neck wood, pups, etc...it must be a staggering tone! Thanks for sharing and enjoy!

What preamp would you guys recommend in my corvette. I have an Aguilar but just like my last Aguilar preamp, the bass knob is WAY too sensitive. It's get muddy really quick.
