    This bass has a bridge pick up and a BRIDGE pick up.

    Owner of a 5 string Thumb here. It can sound tinny on DI, but this thing sounds HUGE through an amp. Punchiest bass ever made. It can also mellow out if you roll off the treble, boost the bass, and EQ the amp properly.

    this thing is amazing. i've always thought of warwicks as trebly "hi fi " sounding basses for soloists but god, you can really dial in the thump on this thing. I'd probably play it at 90 bass, 30 treble, on the "neck" pickup. it has really good clarity in the lo mids for such a dark sound!

    Killer tone from that bass. My brother did like these basses mainly because of mudvayne. I personally like the corvette basses, but the thumb is a good sounding bass too. I can imagine how killer it would sound with distortion like the darkglass pedals and the amptweaker bass tight metal jr.

    Warwick basses are generally great. A few criticisms though. That headstock is a mess. The strings should pass over the nut to the machine posts in a straight line. This one is terrible. The upper horn looks like it should have a matching set of balls. The body's rounding off, looks like a schoolboy project that didn't know when to stop. Sounds great though, and I love the adjustability of it all.

    So, I kind of wish bass manufacturers would start looking more into using multi-scale builds for 5 strings and above. At the 1:00 in this vid, the tone thru the amp is good but the B string sounds like it broke and is flopping all over lmao. Ibanez EHB1235 does the multi-scale and it is seriously a game changer for the B string flopping that is pretty much standard on 5 strings
