1986 Warwick Thumb Bass NT 5 string in exceptional condition. After discussions with the founder of Warwick, Hans Peter Wilfer, I found out that this was one of the first ever 5 string Warwick Thumb basses made in 1986. Serial number L 51 86 dates the production to November 1986. (production number 51) It's all original other than the case. Made in West Germany / Pretzfeld / Franconia. Fully set up by my technician with a low action. The frets are in excellent shape with virtually no wear. This is a very rare Warwick bass.
