I've recently fallen in love with a Stingray 5, but the wife says I hafta let 1 bass go, so up for sale is my beloved '01 Warwick Thumb 5.
The Thumb: Sounds great, plays great, looks great! No issues whatsoever. Ovangkol body & neck w/Wenge fretboard. I religiously wax it every 2 weeks, and don't gig with it in fear of scratching it or getting it stolen, so it stays at home. I received it as a gift 2 years ago, though it was barely used when I took posession, so I'm guessing I'm the 2nd owner. Comes with original hardshell case (not a gigbag), original truss-rod tool, and can of Warwick wax (1/2 used up) and black schaller straplocks. I'm asking $1200 obo. If your in the Dayton, Ohio area, your welcome to check her out in person. See attached low-rez pics below. I also have much nicer Hi-Rez pictures I can email to you if interested. Just PM or email me.

I had originally posted an ad in the Wanted section for a straight-up trade. I'm gassing for a fretted SR5 in Honeyburst w/white pickguard & pickup. I'd like a maple fretboard, but I'd probably settle for a rosewood if I have to. I don't care much for matching/painted headstocks. Even though I'm lusting for a SR5, I may consider other 5 stringers.

!!!Sold!!!
 
:D

Since there aren't too many SR5 owners willing to trade, I thought I'd post a few other items that are causing gas pains that I might consider in trade or partial trade:
Alembic Epic 5 string or similar
Ken Smith (KSD) v70j Proto-j 5 string
Pedulla Thunderbolt 5
Sadowski Tokyo jazz
Tobias 5 string (not a musicyo Toby... I already have 2 of those)
...or just toss me an idea of what ya got!
 
Hey CG,
I don't have any soundsclips of my particular Thumb Bass, but you can [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] to listen to someone elses Thumb. That clip pretty much nails the Thumb sound, IMO. PM me your email address if you'd like me see hi-rez pictures.

Hey, what part of Ohio are ya from?

Now, I know there has to be someone who would love to trade their boring, domesticated MM for a young, exotic, all natural, dark-skinned, european vixen. :D

Did I mention that she's the kind of girl that likes to be slapped around a little now and then, yet still loves rock n' roll?

...yeah, she's naughty.
