The front of that headstock looks like it's countersunk around the pegs....is this what the front of the vintage carved headstock thumbs look like?

not all! the really early warwicks have those i think about 85-87?. my one is flat like ordinary ones.
I'd just like to see a pic of the back of the head, especially the area where it meets the neck. We've seen a few older Warwicks (without the volute) that have cracked there. I'm betting it's from a fall or something, my 93 Fortress has no crack, I'm sure your 89 Thumb is crackless, so it's not something that just happens. But with the older Wicks that is the weakest area, be nice to see what that bass looks like there before plonking the bills down.

no crack that's right;)

so... there are no bids. i'm gonna go for it if the price doesn't get high. but before that i wanna get first the answers from my questions + i want some pics of the body i don't know if it's high polish or oil finish) and the headstock from the back.
the biggest fear right now is that he don't want to send the bass. he's quite far away (yeah i know switzerland is not big :roll: ) hope to find a fair deal with him...

quite good time this auction because i just gave the stingray5 back to my friend two days ago.... fate?:D

peace

Actuall it can just happen mate.Without the volute there's not much wood there.This is why some manufacturers have the rod at the body. :wink:
 
Ouch, even more reason to ask for a nice clear photo of that area.

For €550, I'd beat you to death with a blunt object for not buying it :P. This is a vintage Thumb NT we're talking about.

the seller says:
"Ein schöner Warwick. Hat am Kabeleingang einen wackel, ist aber
leicht zu reparieren. Sonst ein wunderbares Teil. Neue Saiten
müssen drauf. Verkaufe ihn nur weil ich Gesundheitlich
aufgeben muss."
