86 I just purchased from one of our brothers here on the forum:

Bumblebee Thumb!! Wow! Congrats dooders!!!!!

Definitely among the first of the fretless. That's a special little lady. And you weren't kidding about it possibly being in storage for decades. The EMG logos, backplate, hardware... is pristine. Score.

 

[RIP]

Thanks man.....yeah, I haven't bought a real nice bass in close to 20 years, so I'm loving it!

Thanks again @Hoggles

A little test drive on the Thumb

 

[AdzNadz]

Yep that's a thumb! Great playing too

Blue jelly Thumb

Hahaha...good question. No doubt it's great for playing the blues

Didn't know Wick would do something like this. Thank goodness for the Japanese. Without their CS orders, HPW would probably go bankrupt

And I'm kinda surprised it's as "cheap" as it is. I'd expect something this custom would be in the 10k range min to order new. Yours for only 4.8k. Warwick Custom Shop Acrylic Thumb Bass Bolt-On 5st Electric Bass Free Shipping 4033685167962 | eBay
Work of art for sure. It'd pair nicely with Shaft's bumblebee Thumb above.

A Clockwork Blue

Congratulations!
But I think you need to adjust the scale

 

[StreamerII84]

That case is so 90s! Brings me back to my teenage years, I want to go skate and play Diablo!

I imagine you're talking about his bridge saddles. They certainly are all maxed toward the neck. Intonation is probably a little off for sure.

i forget how tiny thumb bass bodies are.

they make people look huge.
