Hi folks, I'm looking to trade for a Thumb NT5 with a bubinga body just like this one! Shipping: only US I'd be more than happy to answer any questions and take additional pics. Thanks! This bass is in fantastic condition, with the exception of a few minor blemishes. There a some barely...

Hello everyone! Sorry if this has been answered before. I searched the forums and Google and couldn't find anything. I could be a bad searcher ;) Does anyone know what the normal black headstock veneer is on our beautiful Warwicks? At least the German made ones. For the longest time, I...

Hey guys!! Hope you enjoy this video of our band Boomslang playing live at Bogart's in Cincinnati!! In this video I am playing my 4 string Thumb (with an AMAZING, smooth ebony fingerboard \m/ ). I also have a 5 string Corvette to play our dropped songs later in the set. Thanks Warwick!! These...

Hi, I could get a 5er Thumb NT with wenge fingerboard, new but old stock. I wonder if I should go for it or better take a current new one with ebony board? Anybody ever made a direct comparison? thanks, Nippes

I was recently shopping the CS section of Warwick's webpage. I noticed that maple fretboards need to have a finish but ebony does not. Do these two woods sound the same? I could save money if I don't have to finish the fingerboard with Ebony. Thanks.

Newbie: I just picked up a nice used Fretless Corvette Std. The black ebony fretboard has a small area a few inches long where the black (dye?) appears to be absent with the underlying wood grain visible. Is this a wear related thing? Any way to re-stain? Thx....

I just got a new Corvette Standard fretless. It totally rocks! :D:D:D Anyway, I love that ballsy roundwound sound, and I like my big, nasty vibrato style, so I am probably going to be putting more-than-average wear on the fingerboard. My question is, how do I protect the fingerboard...

Hey mates, I'm a loyal forum reader (don't make many new topics) and I really enjoy all the information you guys give out. Now I have always been impressed by the wood ebony, my first contact with that wood was the fretboard of my second bass (a Sandberg); I was thrilled that this is a wood...

I've just bought a fretless thumb with a beautiful ebony fingerboard, and am looking for tips about keeping the ebony in prime condition. Does it need some kind of oil like the body or does it not need any special treatment? Sorry if this has topic has been covered before - I have searched...

I don't know if this has been asked yet, But does anyone know if Warwick will do a fretless with something other than ebony? Say maybe wenge or even purpleheart? It would be pretty nice if they would offer other woods for the board and apply an epoxy finish themselves, seeing how it's not...

So I've found this Thumb I want to buy, it's an NT 5 from 99. The seller states that the fingeboard is tigerstripe ebony, but I think it looks more like wenge: AFAIK all thumbs were made with wenge boards and necks up until they switched to ovangkol unless ordered otherwise. They even had a...

Look at the figuring on ebony fb on this Corvette bubinga!

That is more twisted than any of my creations because it's real!!! Phil Wilson, you are one lucky dude! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

on the pricelist link for the custom shop it says that warwick is the only one who produces tiger stripe ebony fretboards, is this true? another thing, does anyone have a pic of full line riboulan in the tigerstripe ebony fingerboard and also the quarter line line riboulan in the tigerstripe...

Hello I'm a new member of this forum. I've been playing for one year on a 1995 WW fortress one (P/J). Some days ago i found a Fortress one Limited Edition 1994 with ebony fingerboard to sell. Since the seller can't provide any soundclip, I came to ask some specifications because I have...

Title says it all! :wink:

Can the Warwick CS get a hold of Pale Moon Ebony for a CS bass fretboard, like on this Fodera ?

Dear all, so I do read often about the difference between the old Wenge necked Thumb vs the newer Ovangkol necked Thumb, but I find very little info here or elsewhere on the internet about the Ebony fretboard of the Thumb (I think Warwick introduced this around 2003) vs the older Wenge...

hi im wondering whether it would be a wise decision or not to get a ebony fingerboard on a corvette double buck. Asthetically i like it better and i see alot of high end basses with it (dont hold me to that.) . What would it do to the tone as apposed to the wenge and is it that durastic? Thanks.

Hey guys! I have a Thumb 4 NT with a hazy ebony fretboard. I bought the bass used in new condition off of Ebay and this is the way it came to me. Just wondering if there is a way anyone knows of to restore it to its former shining glory. Also, this is not way affects the sound, just the bass...
