The Heads Up Thread

[Hoggles]

Gorgeous Thumb. Paint looks to be original. Turning a beautiful cream white.

Two piece bridge though. Not an '86. Probably '87 or '88. Also the pups would be angled much more severely on a '86 Thumb 5. Like bumblebee up there

Why are all of the really good vintage wicks in the UK??

 

[DemBoneZ]

YES that white thumb has been my dream

Maybe a Rockbass, but 400,- Euro for a Vette $$ 5-string is nice!

Warwick Corvette $$ 5 Saiter

On the Vette $$ theme.... I'll go ahead and say this is worthy of a heads up. Custom Shop '11 Vette $$ with a lovely slab of Mahogany that kind of has a pinknot/burl/quilted theme going. Stunning. $1700

Almost reminds me of one of the SE editions that came out several years ago. Very nice!

Yep I saw that one as well. Looking at selling my home and buying a new one at the end of August...the streamer needs a playmate.

I know one thing for sure; Warwick didn't fit those P pup screws when it went back to the factory!

 

[Dazed]

I wouldn't have thought a Jan 2 is the nut of choice either

Continuing the vintage Streamer theme... Here's 1985 #67 (Netherlands)...and 1986 #22 (US). Didn't realize they must have have started from zero on the the serials, when they introduced the modern headstock? Coulda sworn all this time, that for instance my #1031, was infact that number in the line of Streamers from the beginning etc. Guess not. They must have reset in January of '86. Good to know.

The '86 is reasonably priced...the '85...not so much.

And what do you guys think.....the fretboard on the '85 doesn't look like Wenge to me. Looks more Bubinga or Rosewoodish, in color and grain. Interesting...

 

[warwickhunt]

That's rosewood for sure.

Yeah, for sure Pro Series. Well, 99% sure. If the silver hardware is factory, then it's most likely a PS.

And leave it to good old Guitar Center....continuing the long tradition of being the absolute worst company when it comes to pics and descriptions
