Love that ss2

joebar · #**283** 01-12-2013, 07:38 PM

would one of these basses ever come from the factory with the three band EQ of the thumb NT6?
i have a chance to buy one and it looks like a factory set up but am not sure. it has a stacked volume knob which i know the BO doesn`t usually come with.
anyone? ty

My nt thumb has two stacked knob and a single.....vol/blend, mid, treble/bass. Hope this helps. Unless you are referring to a streamer?

yes that is the layout: (thumb) i corrected my original post; this is a thumb BO 6 i am looking at.
stacked vol, regular middle knob and stacked bass/treble.
the thing is that this layout is on a BO which usually come with 2 band EQ,right?

yes, usually, they do. it's not unheard of for folks to upgrade to something else, though. have you been able to decipher any markings on the pcb in the control cavity?

you might also try looking it up with the serial number lookup tool on warwick's site.

i had warwick official look up the serial number, but i do not know if they can figure out the exact details about how it left the factory.
it looks clean and unmodified in the cavity area.

I have no proof, but just a feeling that Warwick keeps very detailed records on their instruments.

i double checked the serial number- doesnt give info on the electronics.
i did look at the warwick owners manual and i am right about the three band being on the NT and the two band on the BO.
obviously i want an unmodified bass so this is important to know

JamesGoodall · #**290** 01-12-2013, 09:04 PM

Here's my '09 Corvette $$. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a new Warwick in the US now. At least for me, where I'm at it was. But I have her and she's treated me well ever since. And I only get a little bit of flack from my 'conservative' friends for her 2 extra strings.
I actually haven't seen a single 5er at my school yet...I may be alone up there.

Edit: wow...I never saw how invisible she was in the second picture...

Can you open the electronics cavity and take some pictures? Also what's the last two numbers after the dash at the end of the serial number. I believe that the online lookup tool only works for 2000 and up models

okay i pulled the trigger on the thumb and brought her home tonight.
did some routine maintenance on her right away and adjusted the rod a little.
it came with the deadest strings i have ever heard or played
i slapped an old set i had laying around just so i could hear a note lol. night and day
still gonna tweak for awhile...
not sure if i am gonna like it more than my corvette 6er or not. i am leaning towards the corvette but they are different body wood, different electronics etc.
but very nice bass nonetheless.
pics are coming

That's a sweet thumb. I've owned four thumbs and seen many more, and the variance is definitely there in the years. Yours. However might be the coolest yet! It's awesome! Congrats!

^ great looking bass! i think it's simply an "F.N.A.," though since it doesn't have the jazz pickup in the neck.

and your G is wound in the wrong direction.

It is a great looking bass! And, yes - its an F.N.A and not a Jazzman, which has the J-pickup in the neck position. I was wondering about the G-winding also...

Thanks for sharing fmoore200!

Yeah, I wasn't sure about whether it was a jazz, but I got it used and never saw just the fna on the internet, my bad

The g string kept popping out in the normal position, so I stopped fighting it, lol.. Whatever works I guess..

Thanks for the kind words anyway!
