iskim86 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 does anyone make Warwick copy bodies? preferrably the Thumbs. I'm attracted to their small design. or while I'm at it, where can I find Spector bodies? Warmoth doesn't have any of them... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krizalid Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 well, if you can't find em, build em! just try to have a close look at the design at remember it by heart and with some luck and confidence (a butt load of it of course), you can have it on your own. my 2cents opinion.

MKGBass Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 you can't find the bodies. That's the answer. No really makes anything besides fender or Ibanez in replicas for the most part. To find a warwick body, well, you'd just have to buy a warwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 USA Custom Guitars can make any shape body you want but it costs extra than the standard ones he makes. The owner is a very cool guy. You could save money if you put the finish on yourself. USA Custom Guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskim86 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 yeah. I don't like finishes. looks dull. I like natural finishes with the beautiful wood showing.... YUM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 The problem with the Thumb bass is that it is CARVED to the max: the entire back is concave, the whole front is convex, the edges are rounded 100% of the way around, and the horns are basically cylindrical. If you want to build a replica, you'd better have your spokeshave ready!!! As for the finish, do what the Warwick customer service recommended to me: Use a few coats (I did about 5) of the Warwick Surface Finishing Wax that you can buy on MusiciansFriend.com as per the instructions on the can, and then finish with a light coat of tung oil. Voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
