Apparently this Thumb Dirty Blonde is #251 of 250 worldwide units!

Does that make it extra special?

 

[Tony G]

Wow, its like it doesn't actually exist, making it even more rare....

 

[moogboy]

that guy is an UBER-dufus.

 

[ProfGumby]

Now, now....

There's pics, so it must exist!

I wonder though, it is #251...like Spinal TAps amps go to 11. So when everyone else does a limited edition, they only go to 250.

But not the folks at warwick, theres is better they go to 251....

 

[eedre]

Guys, check out that video too, the guy playing almost looks like he's not even playing the riff that you hear!

 

[superbassman2000]

maybe warwick started their serial numbers at 0001?
i mean, 0251-0001=250
that would make that warwick the final bass in the run...

just giving him the benifit of the doubt

Watch the video at the bottom.

Now I understand why some people have no respect for bass . that boy needs some grooove.

 

[Lockout]

Is it just me, or does that bass sound like crap in the video? I'm betting it's because of the way the guy's playing it, but all I hear is *grind* *clack* *fret noise* *grind* *grind*. Yuck.

 

[Matt Dean]

Is it just me or does that Warwick look just plain ugly? I mean, if you're going to design a "high-end" bass, you'd give it sexy-fine lines!

 

[MarchingPig]

I just love it that the name of his "shop" is Mike´s Chop Shop. It just radiates "I´m a serious kinda guy!"

 

[Disc]

Lockout,

Its xXgrindcoreXx you guyz duh :metal:

Sounds like a metal bass

Yeah, but then why dont you just make it so that it just goes to 250 and then make that the highest?

Especially given that #299 is in my lap.

Here's the scoop for the curious - I called Dana B Goods (US Warwick distributor) for the lowdown on the Dirty Blond after I got mine:

500 units produced, all in 2006 - 300 4 string, 200 5 string. Yes, I have the last 4 string made.

The tag on the back of the neck has 2 numbers - 6\(some number.) The first number denotes the year, second denotes the serial number, from 1-299 for 4 strings, 300-500 for 5 strings.

err....need to check your maths mate.

even starting at 1 the 250th bass would have the serial number of #250, not 251.

 

[lefty007]

This thread delivers.

 

[ThatGermanDude]

about that video

is my eye ear coordination just totally off or is the guy not playing what you hear?

Yeah, he's totally lip syncing.

 

[Tape]

well they probably do start at 1, so 251 would make sense.

And the bass doesnt sound bad, just the player. The action just has to be raised cuz its buzzin alot. I really like the tone.

 

[eedre]

Maybe if the first one was numbered 0. Then the last one would be 250 - BUT technically it's the 251st one made.
