    The seller says this bass is from 1994, I have played it for over a year, I think this bass is genuine but I am not a professional guy, I would really like to know what do you guys think! Some info: One of the pickups was modified before I bought it. I don't know how many owners it has had...

    Is this Warwick Thumb real?

    Saw a guy post this on the local classifieds. Says it's a 2008 Warwick Thumb BO Broad Neck. Listed for about 2000$. Personally I've never seen a 5 string Thumb with humbuckers so I'm a little suspicious. The lack of a (visible) serial number also irks me a bit. I'm not big into custom shop...

    Is this a legit Warwick Bass?

    a guy in my area is selling a left handed Warwick bass for 600$ AUD (462.19 USD) Noting that Warwick basses are normally quite expensive, I was just wondering if this one was legit. Since I am no expert I was wondering if anybody could tell me if this was fake or not?
