'89 Warwick Thumb 6 Neck Thru
« on: September 22, 2008, 10:34:14 AM »
Very early Thumb 6 (SN B066-89).  This is from back when they hand made these with a solid Bubinga body and Wenge neck - not that Ovangkol neck that they use now. This bass produces that classic Warwick sound!  Dual Bartolini soapbar pickups with Volume (pull passive switch), Blend, and stacked Bass and Treble.  Includes newer Warwick hardshell case and Warwick wax for the natural finish. Recently strung with Warwick Black Label strings.  Many hi-rez pictures available and I can take additional pictures of anything upon request.  I "need" another Alembic, so this one has to go! Get it now before it goes on eBay.  Current retail $5899 + case  Asking $2250

Good luck with the sale - looks like a sweet bass! I'm impressed with your collection - I really like the Jazz in the other thread...

The Warwick Thumb 6 bass is now gone - part of a swap for my latest Alembic!
