Just scored this sweet Warwick fretless Thumb for $850 off of Ebay, which is a terrific price on a 2000 (silver era) Warwick Thumb. It is in good shape, just needs a little love and the right strings and will be perfect. I used to have a fretless Corvette 5 that was my favorite bass. This bass has an amazing 1.5 inch neck, and it sits so comfortably on a strap that I can't believe it. I kinda wish it had fretlines but I guess I will have to be a big boy and use my ears.
Already sounds amazing with such a punchy tone down low and singing tone up high. It came with a ton of bow to the neck as the truss rod was totally loosened and had heavy gauge strings on it. I put light gauge strings on and gave the truss a few turns and I am sure in a day or two it will be as flat as a like my necks to be.
Oh, it weighs 8.75 lbs, lightest Warwick I have ever played. I believe its a Walnut body, Bubinga neck, and Ebony Board, even though the seller said Wenge board I don't think he was correct.
