For sale is a 1988 Warwick Thumb Bass 4-String Neck Thru, an extremely rare find among the early made-in-Germany Warwick bass guitars. Known for their thinner neck and body compared to newer models, these basses offer an incredible feel that established Warwick's reputation. This particular bass comes with a non-original bag and is in excellent condition, both cosmetically and functionally.
There are some light scratches, a few small dings, and minimal wear on the pickups. Overall, I would rate its condition a solid 9 out of 10. With the exception of 1 replaced pot and recessed strap locks, everything on the bass guitar is original, with no cracks, repairs, or issues. The neck is straight and free of problems, and the original frets show no wear. There is no buzzing or dead spots, ensuring a flawless playing experience. I have recently set up the bass guitar for optimal performance.
To provide complete transparency, I have included detailed photos of the wear on the bass guitar. The instrument in the listing is the actual bass guitar you will be purchasing—no stock photos are used.
Thank you for considering this remarkable 1988 Warwick Thumb Bass. If you have any questions or are ready to add this rare piece to your collection, please feel free to reach out. Your interest is greatly appreciated.
