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!
I had a 5 string version of this bass. Very pretty bass, but not my cup of tea. Serious neck dive on this thing, plus a Stingray pisses all over this bass.
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
