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 ![]() 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.

I’m interested in the 6 string thumb if it is still available. |
