Congrats! Fretless Thumbs are the best!Ive ordered a new thumb 5 bo fretless. Very hard to find. I alteady have the same bass fretted. Im selling my $$ corvette 5 to help cover the cost. The $$ doesn’t work for me. Im buying the fretless thumb not having played one. Bit scary, I hope it lives up to my fretless thumb tone research.

Where are you located? As it so happens, I have a LTD 2006 4-string that I wish had one _more_ string

Turns out, joining clubs pays out fast. I live in Berlin Germany, wouldn't want to mail it, but could arrange a weekend trip (meet half way?). PM me (haven't figured out, how to do this here, yet)
Do you specifically mean a masterbuilt by Warwick, of a Thumb NT 5, or do you just mean a Thumb NT 5? The Masterbuilt is a fairly recent designation, there aren't many around for sale second hand, and they are very expensive. However, a Thumb NT 5, before they invented that grading system, there should be plenty around on the second hand market, there is basically no difference apart from some nice add-ons like wooden tuning pegs compared to the previous NT models, lots of models that are now only Masterbuilt (I believe all NTs by Warwick), existed before that designation existed, so unless you specifically want those metal plated pickup covers and wooden pegs, I would look for a second hand Thumb NT 5, they are basically the same instrument other than some older NT models may be ovangokol, not bubinga and wenge, depending on the era. By natural stain do you mean oil finish, or something else? There will be plenty of oil finish ones second hand, as it's been their standard, however satin, colours etc, are much more uncommon and will probably require a custom shop order, or hoping to find someone's custom shop order sold second hand.
Oh yeah I’m not too picky I just want a neck through. Master built would be awesome but not necessary for what I need. The grading system is what confused me as I only recently started learning about Warwick nuances. Also by natural stain I did mean oil finish! Thanks for the input I appreciate it!
