Description
Docs
Warwick bass guitars are a unique synthesis of craftsmanship and technology. No other basses - indeed few instruments of any kind - are designed and manufactured with such diligent attention to detail. Warwick designs are classical without being adventurous. Explore in detail what makes the "Warwick Difference".

The Thumb Bolt-on has a body of ovangkol with an arched top and a concave back. The three-piece ovangkol neck is neatly and securely fastened to the body. The gently arched wenge fingerboard with 24 ultra-hard jumbo frets offers a high degree of playing comfort.

The Thumb Bass is characterized by its superb attack and distinctive sound. The electronics give the player fast freedom to vary the timbre. Ideally equipped, and finished with loving to detail, the Thumb Bolt-on bass is a sound investment and retains its value superbly.

"If you can live with the standing balance angle, you'll love this bass."
Feature:
Passive/active push pull switch is nice. Brass frets are as beatiful as you will ever see/feel.

Quality:
Built like a tank with gorgeous earthy woods. Solid, solid, solid.

Value:
In the world of high-end basses, this bass is well priced.

Desirability:
Oh yeah. You'll want it when you see and feel it.

Sound:
Nice growl, especially with new, roundwound strings.

Ease of Use:
This bass seems to balance at 2:30 to 3:00. I like to angle my bass to approx 1:30, so I'm constantly pushing the neck up. Please make sure this bass balances where you like before you buy one.

Support:
They were friendly and responsive when I asked them about the "balance" issue.

Overall:
I'll keep it forever--along with my alembics and fenders.
