NOS (New Old Stock) Warwick Thumb 5 String Bass

Post by gravesbass »

I have a brand new Warwick Thumb 5 BO (Bolt On) that I am contemplating selling to fund my bank account thats very low these days. Yes, its Christmas right around the corner. I made a purchase from a Warwick reseller of a 3 bass deal. This is one of the basses I received and the one I kept. Now I got something else to pay off in a few weeks and... well, it might go up on ebay soon. Just wanted to give the lefty community first dibs. The frets are PERFECT and the neck is PERFECTLY straight with LOWWWWW action. This is the best Warwick I have ever own for ultra low set-up. I used my fret rocker on the frets and there are zero fret issues. Perfect!!!!!

This bass is new but the only mark on it is a small indention on the back plastic side cover where the electronics live. Its purely cosmetic and does not effect the bass whatsoever. If you like a great growly bass, this is it. Street on one of these before they were discontinued was $2849.00 with gig bag. These are no longer available in lefty. If you want a Thumb in left handed now, you have to go the rout of a custom shop of neck thru ($4700.00 plus 3-5 months wait).

Pics will come soon. I just wanted to get some feelers out here. I want $1650 B/O for this bass and actual shipping. I have the Warwick protective box the bass shipped in so its protected with a gig bag. For reference, check link below:

I've got a 2005 one n it's great, a bit heavy but not a lot of neck dive surprisingly, although I play pretty high,not bowtie high, just jazz nerd high. Very fair price. Why have Warwick stopped making these? :cry: The website still has the lefty no extra cost blurb. Any insider trader tips welcome.
