Post subject: | Warwick German Pro Series Thumb 6 / Boulder Creek Fretless |
Hey all, I've got a couple of problem children that I'm looking to part with! photos linked below first up: 2016 Warwick German Pro Series Thumb 6 BO - $1100 + Shipping exact specs: Machineheads : Warwick Machine Heads Nut : Just-A-Nut III Neck Wood : Ovangkol neck Fretboard : Wenge fingerboard Fluorescent Side Dot : Iluminated Side Dots Fingerboard Radius : 47" Scale length : 34" (long scale) Width Nut : 52,0 mm / 2.0" Width 12th fret : 73,1 mm / 2.9" Width 24th fret : 83,99 mm / 3.3" Fret quantity material and size : 24 Jumbo Nickelsilver frets (width: 2,9mm/ height: 1,3mm) Frets : IFT Invisible Fretwork Technology Body Shape : Curved Body Shape Bodywood (Topwood / Backwood) : 2-3 pcs Ovangkol Pickups : Active MEC Soapbar Pickups Electronics : Active MEC 2-way electronics Bridge system : 2-piece Warwick Bridge Construction : Bolt-On Color : Natural Transparent Satin Hardware colour : Chrome Hardware Weight: roughly 10 pounds, can get the exact weight on request Selling only because I've recently upgraded. When its working properly this things sounds and plays great, but when I bought it on reverb last year the seller neglected to mention two things, one is that this bass has a wiring issue wherein (I believe whats happening is) the connection to the onboard preamp gets screwy, when this happens the bass loses a lot of output, and the sound becomes fuzzy and distorted as though the battery needs to be replaced. Tapping the back of the body a few times is how I usually resolve it, but I'm sure someone with more technical experience could find out exactly whats going on and fix it permanently. Second thing is that there's a very very slight dip in the neck, which I've tried to picture as best I can-- not sure if it just needs truss rod adjustment or if it's something else, but again I'm not qualified to go digging around in there like that with that said, the dip hasn't affected playability for me at all in the year and a half that I've had it, but buyer beware. Boulder Creek Fretless Electric Acoustic - $350 + Shipping Finish: Satin Top: Solid Cedar 3.1mm thick Back: Solid Mahogany Sides: Mahogany Scale: 34″ Long Scale Pickup System: AB4-T preamp with built-in chromatic tuner Weight: unsure, but can get it on request This guy is great to play, selling only because I never have a use for it, the issues with this one are a lot less complicated, first off, despite the fact that I've barely touched it in the past 5 years the quarter inch output doesn't work. No idea what might have cause this so I have no conjecture about how easily fixable it is, but note that the XLR out does still work. Second, the peg that holds in the G string at the bridge broke the last time I changed the strings, and I super glued it back together, obviously this doesn't affect anything except aesthetics, but I'm going for complete transparency about every little detail photos are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing Feel free to message with any questions or requests for specific photos, open to trades for one of these or a two for one if you happen to have something special-- Thanks everybody |

Just chiming in to say that I had a Boulder Creek acoustic for a few years and it sounded good both acoustically and plugged in. And I mean it sounded really good plugged in. Very attractive bass, too, and comfortable to play. But I had two acoustics, and after going a year without playing either of them, I decided I didn't need both, and the $200 Dean wasn't worth the trouble to sell, and also has sentimental value from decoration my daughter added I know not a lot of people are looking for a fretless acoustic, but $350 is a very good price for a very nice instrument. Looking at my old Reverb listing, I see my 1/4" out also didn't work. What the heck??? Still got $500 for it! https://reverb.com/item/34856202-boulde ... ustic-bass |

weird! maybe it's a problem with the electronics they used at the time? tim wrote: Just chiming in to say that I had a Boulder Creek acoustic for a few years and it sounded good both acoustically and plugged in.
