I had to sell my '98 Thumb BO4 in like 2007 when I was broke. I'll buy another one someday. It wasn't the most used bass I owned, but it was the absolute best for certain stuff and I miss it all the time.
Do you have any idea about how the neck profiles differ on Warwick Thumb 4 string basses? Do the 90s models have slimmer necks compared to those being made today? Is there a difference between the NT and BO options? Or have the necks always been very consistent size-wise?
Incredible playing and great bass tone! I'd be happy with 10% of the playing skill and 75% of the bass tone. :) (I just bought a Thumb BO 5-string, after watching this video for weeks...)
I've never quite understood why Warwick has put the pickups on the 5-string thumb so close to the bridge. For me, the 4-string sounds a lot better and is more versatile. Anton is on fire, as usual. :D
I think the NT model sounds better the BO as a 5 and 6 string model because it seems to help the clarity of the low B, but as 4 strings I think the BO is just as good as the NT, just a different tone.
@@julianpischler9378 it's just a different bass with the same shape and model-name. People used to think in terms of "its cheaper so it sounds not so good". That what I wanted to describe in comment :) cheers mate!
Nice, really nice. I was actually trying to choose between the Thumb and the Elipse. Looks almost like you are faster on the Thumb, faster neck or was it just what you were playing? Which would you go for?
I would definently go for the thumb It is easily one of the most comfortable basses, and as it ages it starts to sound even better. Not even mentioning the sound Definently a worthy investment
the best warwick sound demo ever
it was great playing 'til the slapping, then it was simply astonishing
Bass definitely not stock pre amp
@@craigmack-cv3cp was thinking the same .. maybe an aguilar?
This guy can seriously play!
Bravo!
Whenever I will feel lazy about playing my Warwick Thumb, i will come here to see the only right way of communication with this excellent bass.
Was gonna say something about the sound but instead will say it about the playing, holy shit! Beyond amazing
When I read “90’s” I knew why it sounds so awesome!
This is Anton Davidyants, the killer Russian bassist. Just amazing !
My favorite bass! Big Jack Bruce fan here.
... U deserve this bass
You make the Thumb sound so much more versatile. Finally a worthy demo of the instrument
I think that might be an aftermarket preamp, I've never heard a Thumb sound that way.
@@The_sinner_Jim_WhitneyI'll tell you a big secret. The name of this "preamplifier" is Anton Davidyants, an amazing bass guitarist.
@ Sounds like my US Music Man Sterlings. Not like my Thumb.
Sweet Baby Jesus! What incredible playing and bass tone!

Omg, i wasn't expecting that. This sounds like five times better than any (newer) Warwick i've heard. Warwick, bring back the old thumb!
Great sound and great playing, my lord
Sound great. Perfect even.
Great tone... great playing..👍👍

Awesome demo. Mad skills. You really demonstrated how great the thumb is.
The Thumb will go down in History as that MUST have bass tone- watch. Its already at that level !
Great shit man! Thanks for making me feel bad lol

Anton is on fire, as usual. :D
The pickups position plus the tone wood is what makes the thumb original from the rest of the basses
ive got mine coming soon, great playing Anton. 97 4-string thumb, can't wait. trying to get you closer to a 1000 subs
I had such a bass in the early 90s
This dude can play!!! Wow
Totally underrated video!
Come on what a goated lad
Thank you! Shows off the Wick nicely
When you want to see just a regular bass sound testing video, and you come across some crazy chops that makes you wanna stop playing bass forever...
Вижу Тамб,ставлю лайк! А 5рка вообще ТОП!
Lovely playing!!!
Sir ur playing really excellent...
Killer player! And the bass itself sounds as good as a Fodera. At least, that's how I feel in this moment.
Fantastic
Ууух! Гигант!
you are a beast man!
really great!
incredible what a boy!!!!!
Wow you are the thumb 👑
never heard amazing sound like this thing
Great!
Unreal 😮
He has got some serious slap business going on there, my god
Sir, you have the skills...
thumb e um dos timbres mais foda que ja ouvi incrivel
Awesome!
Playing goes crazy
La nota muy definida,👌
Im hoping they paid you for this cause listening to this whole video would make anyone that could afford one want to buy one, immediately.
This guy can make a broom with strings sounds pretty well.
🤘🤘
I need to practice more
Beast
Holy shit man, you rip. Why would you want to part with the Thumb?
Damn!
Toca muito
Unreal.. 🤯
And this is why Warwick beats em all!
Ah, had the same Warwick, sounded amazing despite the people, who say that the only thumb bass is called NT.
@Robert Kaufmann Neck-Thru body
I think the NT model sounds better the BO as a 5 and 6 string model because it seems to help the clarity of the low B, but as 4 strings I think the BO is just as good as the NT, just a different tone.
