Hello! I'm trying to get rid of a few things I don't use... and this bass is one of them. Wood is in great conditions and the bass comes with a Rockbag flightcase. The fingerboard has only some light wear. It's got an EMG BTC preamp and the original one (never tested it but should work). The...

Hello! I'm selling this rare axe made in West Germany in 1989. Not many of these around, as you can see... in 16 years of playing I've probably seen a dozen of them. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. I guess you all know the specs but... it's a 34" scale, 26 frets, 7 pieces hidden...

Hello! I'm not using this beast much (I keep using my own headless for the rare gigs I face) so I guess I could let it go. 1987 JD Thumb, completely original and perfectly functional. I've upgraded the preamp to an EMG BTC 2bands and the bass sounds killer. The original MEC is still there...

Hello! Due to the fact I'm not able to sell my tube amps I'll sell a bass or two to make room. This one is a very nice '87 JD Thumb, I got it in a sort of "package deal" some time ago but never gigged it. I guess there's not much I can add to the description, you know these instruments well...

A friend of mine decided to sell this bass... it's an early one and comes with the original case. EMGs, Wengé neck etc. - as you can guess. New truss-rod recently installed (the type that comes out easily, luckily). It's in good conditions and plays/sounds good with the unique feel given by...

HI, Im after a Dirty Blonde Thumb 5 if you are thinking of selling one. Also interested in any other specials that came out of Germany. Thanks

Hello everybody, I've got two Thumbs NT, a 5 string from 1997 and a 6 string from 1996 (I also have a 4 string from 1990 but I got no problem with that one). I have the well-known issue with tailpiece slot for B string. I have tried several strings and actually some of them fit right, but...

Selling it for a friend. Made in Germany in 1990, Bubinga/Wengé neck, Bubinga body wings, brass Just-a-nut I, EMGs (original MECs included, don't even know if they works). The new set has been installed years ago but is in very good conditions, no strings wear and the logo is still there. The...

Can someone help me? The electronics of my new Thumb don't work. It has bartolini pickups and I guess the just the balance pot and bass/treble stacked. Also it has active/passive push/pull on volume, something I havent seen on my other thumbs yet. The problem is that I don't get any sound...

Hi everyone I'm new here, I've been playing a Thumb NT 5 for 4 years now. As I bought it second hand I did not get it with a cert of auth or treatment kit. I've heard of an oil that can be used for treatment, the wood is starting to look really dry. Any advise is much appreciated. I'm in...

The plate under my nut on my thumb broke the other day. I need a new one and I see they've upgraded the just a nut. But I'm not sure which one I need. My bass is a 4 string fretted NT Thumb I see they have the four string in 38.5mm and 44mm. Anyone know which one I need for my bass? Do they make...

hey guys, hows it going? i just have a question about something to do with strings. i have a warwick thumb bass...its beautiful, sounds like angels and demons at the same time sometimes and i will cherish it forever. the sound is obviously the main thing i wanna bring up here. as you...

Hi, New to the forum, and was wondering if anyone out there also owns a Taranis bass? I bought my Taranis bass a couple of years ago and loved every second of owning it. Fantastic bass - although a passive electronic configuration it really packs a lot of punch. I'm interested to hear...

Hey guys, I happened to find myself with these three basses, which I thought was pretty cool and not all that common an occurrence, so I decided to make a video comparison of them. Please check it out, and let me know which one is your favorite! Warwick Bass Comparison: Streamer Stage I...

Hi people. I need your advice: I have a '89 NT6 Thumb and I am wondering of replacing the frets. Now they're quite worn out and smooth (I think they had even been filed someday). I guess that replacing them with frewsh ones I will improve in sound and playability. Don't you think? So...

Hello fellow Warwick-lovers Hereby I present my Warwick JD (John Davis) 4 string bass from 1985. Maybe there are some people here who can tell me more about it, or have a same one. I believe it comes from one of the first production runs? I know y'all love pictures: I found it...

I don't have a Warwick(yet), but I want one and was wondering what model I should get. I don't want to spend too mush, $2000 at THE MOST. I play in a jazz band, but also like to play heavier music, such as Mudvayne. I like the Thumb models, but they are expensive and I can't get one unless I...

Hello everyone, first time poster, but long time Warwick/Framus Fan :) I am wanting a bit more growl for especially Metal sets, ans someone pointed me in the direction of the thumb bass, so I wanted to check with the forum if it makes sense (I can not try warwicks out here in the...

Hey guys! Here's a short clip of the Sexy Hair stage performance at the Salon Centric Hair show in Grand Rapids, MI a few months ago. The sound quality once the solo is over is not the best.. They actually had me almost completely down once the song starts. Nothing was coming through the mains...

Just a few of the many awesome memories I've made with my Warwicks!! Most of the pictures are of my 4 string Thumb. I also have a 5 string black Ash Corvette that you'll be able to pick out in some of these pictures.. (Didn't realize until now that I need some good ones of this bass!!) =] Thanks...
