Warwick thumb dirty blonde question

[Jbyjnkx57]

Hey guys I have a 4str Warwick LTD dirty blonde I just bought. Its actually not even in my hands yet but its on Its way! I was wondering what the used value for thoes babies were in mint condition? Anyone have an idea or clue?

5/8-3/4 original selling price would be be a quick guess.

Well I'm not even sure what the new value is :/. I think its around $4500 but I'm definitely not for sure.

12-1400

$1200-$1400 sounds low to me even for like a NT thumb normal run or a streamer. I paid more than that lol so hopefully it goes for more (if I sell )

There are four Dirty Blonde sale threads from TB Classifies, with the price ranging from $1100-1400. Warwick's cost a lot new, but don't have much for resale value unfortunately. However, once you grab them used, they tend to hold their value pretty well it seems. That being said, lsu921 was about spot on with his estimate.

A NT Thumb will go for more (typically $1800-2000 average from what I've seen), but Bolt On Thumbs (even limited editions) don't go for as much. A standard Thumb BO will range from $800-1300 depending on year and condition. As for streamers, it all depends on the model. A Streamer LX, $$, or Pro M typically ranges from $800-1200, a Jazzman around $1300-1500, a Stage I around $1500-1800, and a Stage II from $1600-2000. Sometimes you'll find stuff for less than the normal range, sometimes more.

I was at Guitar Center at the time that they put those out. I want to say that the street price was $1500 which is/was amazing.

Okay thanks for the links tech and thanks for the input all. I guess we will just have to wait see if its something I end up keeping!

Thumb NT or Streamer NT are iconic, well deserved respect axes, so they are not just normal run.
Limited Editions are very often less appreciated on the 2nd hand market.
Also, in my book only NT are really great Wicks.

There's one of these (and a Flamin' Blonde too) at a local music store on consignment. It's a got a few nicks on it, and it's missing the "case candy." They have it priced at $1500, and despite my best effort, will not budge.

Seems a tad high, but I am seriously tempted. Great sounding bass...and she's a looker as well.
