=The Warwick Thumb Club=

Thanks, Avram for the advice heh heh :) now i'm not at all afraid for my warwick if i were to get one... Well i calculated the cost of my dream thumb... And it costs about 8540 USD.... Which is converted to singapore dollars is near 13k.... 0.0 and so far i've saved up 50 bucks... Lol... Hhhmm... Super long way to go :(
 
hi kitex,
i believe i have responded to you in the soft forums.
my thumb bo 5 is 8 years old and my neck is straight as heck.
even when i thought it was warped it was actually just too much relief.
looking at the neck of a warwick thumb. its like what greg said. its ♣♣♣♣ing tough for it to warp.
 
Heres a few pictures of my 88nt. The pictures are a wee bit big. And out of focus. But me and technology don't mix. Which is why i like playing bass, nice and simple right? :p
 
Just picked up my new thumb today!! 2008 Bolt-on Broad neck 5.. Came with a flight case and owners manual so on :D
Think I have just found the perfect bass for me! So excited about it ;). Chucked some pics of it with my 99' BO4 too :)

KiteX why don't you just look for a used wick that has been in Singapore for a few years, then you would know it can tolerate the climate.../

Hey Motor Rock,

We never stopped using wenge, it is always a CS option, and not very expensive one.

Wenge is a great wood for neck, but please do not make the mistake to consider Wenge as being better than ovankol, because it is not. It simply sounds different. I actually like ovankol better, it has that tight sound as wenge, but brighter, more resonant.

Here's my beauty (and a bonus pic of the only BO bass I've ever liked and loved to play).
