@@michaeljones6568 bro you can totally learn 10 songs easily. Muse Hyper Music. You want songs that sound fat, play pretty fast, and are repetitive so your dad thinks youre hot shit. RHCP Californication is another relatively easy song. If your dad is going to buy you a thousand dollar bass jsut to learn 10 songs and you haven't learned one youre doing it wrong
+Nicholas McNamara actually ryan uses nowdays bolt on thumb i think. i mean his '99 Thumb NT is very iconic, but i think he uses new thumb bo warwicks on his new projects. they sound bit more clanky i think, i prefered the nt but the BO sounds awesome in its own way also.
Hi, and yes, in a way you're right. We chose the term "fluorescent" since it's a more general term for material that emits light whoch it absorbed before. And to make sure that also people who are not english native speakers would have it easier to understand. Thanks for watching!
I just got a brand new thumb bass like the one here. I can't play bass as such and only got it for fun. But I'm sure gonna start. I'm ideally a lead guitarist but this is looking like a lot of fun so I pulled the plug.
It's not about "big" or "small" words, it's about using general (more commonly used) terms rather than specific (less commonly used) terms that both describe the same phenomenon. It was not directed towards bass players, but to people who have a different mother tongue than english. Thanks for watching!
Played one of these unplugged the other day. Awesome bass, if I had 3 grand I probably would have bought it on the spot! On another note I played a $3800 PRS and it felt nowhere near as good. Honestly it almost felt like a Squier.
The problem with Andy Irvine in videos like this is that he'd get an encore precision copy to sound amazing with a wide variety of sounds via playing skill. Of course Warwick basses sound amazing anyway!
Dear S Walton, please have a look on our website. Here is a link for you. The German handmade Warwick Custom shop instruments are made from Bubinga.

This guy is actually really really good at bass lol he's got every style of playing down it looks like, perfect guy to have making your awesome videos for awesome bass guitars, I'm about to get a 5 string Warwick very soon, I got an Ibanez and it's nothing compared to my buddy's warwick, I can't wait to play one of these amazing Basses every day xD
***** I actually now have someone building me a custom 5 string Bass xD I wanted a warwick but I was offered something far better for a way lower price so I can't pass it up, going to have the sweetest single cut bass ever.
Hey, I was just funnin' with you! BTW I love this bass and I will be picking one up shortly. It happens to be used so it doesn't come with a truss tool or a hard shell case. Is there any way I can get these from Warwick? Thanks for replying.
ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION: ive just bought an amazing thumb bo 5 and i see that the lower b string it's smaller in the end of the string. I'm asking WHAT KIND OF STRINGS I CAN USE ON THUMB 5? Thanks a lot bye
There's a shop in Melbourne selling them (new) for around $3200. If you're actually referring to the NT, then they're about $6900 at the same place. Not "nearly" ten grand IMO, and I think you were referring to the bolt-on version?
hi im thinking to buy a pro serie but i really dont like the chrome hardware can i change it to black??? i dont see any option to do that on the website
Should do a new vid as the BO has changed a lot ... I ordered a Thumb BO6 that I got a few weeks ago and it has an ovangkol body, wenge neck and finger board, the just-a-nut III isn't made of brass but something like graphite
SERIOUSLY though, I'm in the market for a new 5 string and this one sounds good. I did play a 4-string version of this bass about ten years ago in Miami sound checking Chris Cross, how much does this cost??? (really)
I was thinking about buying one of the 2014 Warwick BO4s, but the retailer says that the body is now ovangkol as opposed to bubinga? Is this true or an oversight? :-\
It really depends on the woods used more than anything. The neck joint is crucial however. A bolt on harnesses most of it's tonal energy from the body wood, less from the neck. Whereas a neck thru gets most of it's tonal energy from the neck wood, and less from the body wings. So if a neck thru bass has a maple neck with mahogany wings, it's still going to be fairly bright sounding. A bolt on bass with a Mahogany body and maple neck will be much darker sounding.
Got a different point view here: In my experience, the majority of the sound quality is related to pickups and equalizer. Wood does not matter that much, if you got a good set of PUs and an Eq. you can balance that out. Of course I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying that you can make a bass with a crazy material like resin and still sound good with the right PUs either. Body and neck material do influence but pickups are the crucial part. You can have "good" woods, and if they don't have decent pickups it will suck, on the other hand, if you got "generic"/average woods like basswood with a good set of PUs, you can be impressed how they will upgrade your overall sound.
I had one of these left handed. It was very nicely built. I personally thought it sounded like shit, and the balance was WAY bad. Serious neck dive. You wanna slap, get a Stingray. Oh and now that I've watched the video, mine came with a gig bag. Not sure if the seller ripped me off or if that is just how they did it in the early 2k's, but I am never happy with any instrument that has a gig bag at $1k+.
I have a question about the pick up placement on the thumb basses. The neck pick up on the 4 string is in a position you'd expect to find it, but why is it right next to the bridge on the 5 and 6 string version?
What Bass amp Head is he using? I have a Peavy MarK VII Solid State Amp but it never will get the roar or thump a Tube amp will get I am looking at upgrading the head or placing a Tube Preamp, any ideas or recommendations. Thanks
Dear +Dean Lutz , in this video he is using a Warwick LWA1000. Here is a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/0qoKV15yMho/v-deo.html . Best regards, Michael.
i really hate the looks of the thumb but the wenge and bubinga makes the soun really BIG AND FULL! Also i preffer the corvette $$ is more versatile and the slap tone i way better!
Sound interesting but man… since the very first time I saw that body shape just make me think of the hammer of a caveman kind of neanderthal to hunt some Ox or smash some cro magnons that treats their community
The Warwick Thumb should be great with any genre, but if you look around you'll see that there's quite a few bass guitarists out there using Thumb basses. Remember, it's all about EQ but the Thumb should definitely help you cut through the mix! No, Warwick did not pay to say this.
Warwick is one of the few bass companies where the five string model is more recognizable than the four string one.
This was my dream bass since i started playing bass 15 years a go. And finally got a 98 Thumb in amazing condition, and i'm the happiest man alive 😁
There is no better love story than this

@@KamiDisturbed hes never owned a bolt, ''99 is actually a '98, im a know it all for him
@@stewartross13 yes he has
Best low b tone I have heard one a bass ever. Period.
Correction. Best sounding bass ever. Period.
Easily one of the more beautifulest instruments ever built.

Still a dream bass of mine.
That bubinga piece looks amazing.. and the passive growl on this thing.. damn you sure make great instruments.
Yeah, I picked it up last week. Such a good decision. Neck is fast as hell, and the bass just slices through the mix. Thanks for the advice fellas!
My dream bass!
I use it in my band The Etherist, love it !!!
I’d love to get my hands on one. 🤘🏻
Love the sound of this bass and definitely like it more than the Corvette SS
Great tone
that double thumb tech. is SICK!!
Definitely yes, i reccomend you to check Unearth, they are a metal band and his bass player uses one of this. I also own one, and it's awesome
I'm buying one right now.

sound smooth !
Maybe one day my father will buy one of those basses for me ,can't wait to have it on my hands.
That sounds exactly like my bass .... oh wait it is. Gotta love that Warwick sound.
I'm astonished at how different the BO and NT sound.

It's an advertisement, not a review.
Am I crazy or do the bolt on's sound better!?

Tyler Rosentreter right
it is 3 grand

Ten grand?? no wrong information, does not cost nearly that much =)
Dude, has anyone ever told you, that you kind of look like Evan McGregor? That makes you the Obi Wan Kenobi auf Bass Guitar 😄

Bad sound, where is the mid? I think corvette standard sound way better. Or might just be a matter of adjustment?
It's adjustment, I've tried one today and you can have plenty of mids by using the bridge pickup more
i feel like it sounds more like an acoustic guitar then a bass when it's slapped.
I feel like you’ve never played one amped up
