Wtb Warwick Thumb Bleached Blonde 5-string

Hab mir zwischenzeitlich eine Kopie in China bauen lassen und dann nach meinen Vorstellungen geändert ;-)
Klingt Hammer!

Sound is more Thumb than my 4-String Bleached

 

War wohl tatsächlich der einzige Weg zum Ziel. Habe bisher keinen 5-Saiter gesehen, sind einfach nicht am Markt!

 

Jep

 

I swore I saw one of these for sale in my searches...I just found what i was looking for It turned out it was a LTD5 corvette hot rod from 2005 which is so so close to the thumb BBlonde..but yeah so close but still not the same. Still has the full flame maple neck and body of the BBlonde and those super cool planet inlays. Good luck with search I will keep it in the back of my mind for you

 

Thanks, but I think I have to end up my search.
The Copy sounds really great.
(For less Euro

 

Pics of the finished bass?

 

I'll do my very best

 

Wanted to make sure you saw this one selling out of Paris. Though it sounds like you may have already chosen something else.

Warwick Thumb 5 Bolt-on LTD Limited Edition 2003 Bleached Blonde

 

This is what he's been looking for...right? I think... I guess. Maybe?

 

oh no!! after all this time and giving up and building a copy....what a saga!

 

that's the one! lol

 

I'll PM him. Maybe it's not too late...

*Strange, I don't see the "start a conversation" option when clicking on his Avatar. Hmmm

 

Good morning to all
Sorry for the late answer.
First thanks to Hoggles for the link
This bass was on Ebay Germany a few weeks ago and was sold for € 1260. At this point my China copy was already in progress ...
Here is a picture:
As you can see, the Chinese weren't able to mill the pu's in the right position. But maybe that's why it sounds like Thumb?

 

Your right. It don't work

...but don't know why

 

they've done it the wrong way around...it is supposed to angle back to the bridge on the bass side for a tighter sounding bass strings.. also the original had Jazz style pickups not humbuckers. anyway not smashing your new bass but that is a pretty big design flaw by them especially as they have put the effort into making it look somewhat correct.

 

Regardless of the pup angle and style, that's a pretty impressive looking copy. Right down to the little LTD badge on the headstock. Haha.

Sorry you missed out on the original @Bogart05 Let us know how this one sounds. Congrats on the new bass

 

Schweeeeeeeet!

 

@ Madmaskbass . ...also the original had Jazz style pickups not humbuckers.


Take a look at the first Pik on Top of this Site...

There you can see why I installed soap bars. The J-Pups are not milled in parallel
