Warwick Thumb NT 6 Custom Shop $3300 SHIPPED CONUS
SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING FOR TRADES CONSIDERED
Bought this right here on the TB classifieds around a year ago. I bet I could count on both hands how many times I've pulled it out of its case to play it. Despite all of my desire to be one, I'm just simply not a 6-string player. The pics above are from the previous seller's listing since they are MUCH better than what I can do with my camera. Condition is near mint and as in the pics.
This Custom Shop Thumb NT features a Bubinga Pommele body which houses a set of active MEC Humbucking Soapbar pickups and a 3 way active electronic circuit. Accompanying this is a Wenge neck and a stunning Tigerstripe Ebony fretboard which gives you the "growl" that Warwicks are known for.

I am the 2nd owner. 2014 model, the previous owner purchased new (old stock) Nov 2016 from Warwick showroom in Nashville. Less than an hour play time by previous owner. Probably less than 15 hours of play time by me. I've owned a lot of high end basses and this absolutely is the best built and best playing bass I've ever put my hands on. Low action with no buzz.
The case has some scratches (most likely from shipping) but is still in very good condition. The case is like a tank and is VERY heavy. I'm sure shipping for this will be very expensive.
No international shipping. Please don't ask.
Like all Thumbs, this is a heavy bass. It's roughly 13 lbs on the bathroom scale. A good strap helps. NOTHING sounds like a Thumb bass so if you want that tone then you have to be willing to put up with the weight.
TRADES CONSIDERED (most would also require cash on your end)
Rickenbacker 4003 (must be a fairly recent model with the push-pull vintage tone selector)
Modulus Quantum 4 or 5 (Sweet spot or Sweet Spot Turbo only)
Warwick Thumb NT4 (might consider a 5)
Warwick Dolphin 4 or 5
Warwick SSII 4 or 5
Various Warwick Limited Edition models
Pedulla Buzz 4 or 5
Modulus Flea/Funk Unlimited (MM pickup type only)
Kubicki Ex Factor (must be in great condition)
Steinberger XQ (must be in great condition)
Ken Smith 4 or 5 string basses
Darkglass B7K
You can run other trades by me but it's very unlikely that I'd be interested. As you can probably tell, I'm most interested in modern, aggressive sounding basses. Please no P or J bass trade offers.
