I have three fretless basses in my arsenal; a mid1990's Warwick Thumb NT5, a mid 1980's Zola fender clone and an early 1980's Wal pro. The Warwick always get the call. We all know the negatives - weight, neck dive etc but this bass makes the music directors go wild - the sound is worth the pain!

No affiliation with the owner - just trolling for lefties tonight & thought of y'all.

I've never cared much for the Thumb Bass body design, but this bass is a beauty! Between the Buginga wings, fretless-unlined fingerboard, and the Wenge stringers in the neck-thru, this is one nice looking bass; one I'd gladly walk on stage with! 8-)

Thanks FOM and fivebass52..... SHOCKED it took this long for you guys to mention this Thumb bass. Well, that bass and listing is yours truly.... "Mine". I don't post my own gear here. just leave it to you guys to find. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me offline. Its a rare breed and a piece of Warwick history. AND, its not that bad in the neck heavy department. Its more body heavy... Cheers!

My only regret at this point is not having an unlimited supply of GAS money when a beauty such as this comes up for sale! :cry: :D
