I used to watch these videos years ago when I was first learning how to play bass. Now that I'm older with a job iv finally been able to purchase one! :) best bass iv ever played.
federz666 Don't despair! I have two Warwicks, I love them very much.. believe me. But know that alot of what we also admire is the eye-candy factor... I have a bass that is worth half of what my Thumb 6 NT is, and that has become my primary work horse. Sometimes even the nicest looking instruments don't deliver on all fronts :)
+1BassJohn Agreed here as well. As mentioned in another comment, I bought a 1994 Warwick Fortress V back in 1996 for 1/3rd the price of a Thumb V NT and with a Thumb V NT there for me to compare it against, it was the better sounding, better playing bass. It's only sounded better through the years. I have a 1990 Squire P-Bass that sounds and plays great.
I have ordered through this site, and I live in Germany - waiting times are pretty hefty 3-4 months. Their reply was quick and very friendly ' cos I had some questions and everything went smoothly. Now I'm waiting still for mine. They ship worldwide but I guess waiting times are even longer then.
MAN!!! you play like a Prince.. I wanna take up the Bass now. I always thought Warwick was the best, after my favourite Fender Jazz Bass of course. But your style and playing is my me reconsider. The body is so nice and small. I am also guessing that Neck thru is where it's at rather than the Bolt-on.
+BeeElectric The BO is nice to and has a bit more of a growl to it. But the NT is really nice as well and has a little bit more clear tones in the lows. I own a 99' Thumb BO and looking for a NT now as well.
I love this bass, and all the Warwick products, it would be really nice if the sound wasn't record from the camera, the sound of this bass is the most beautiful sound a bass can have so please record it with good quality :D
Ever since I picked one up off the rack for the first time, I've coveted the Thumb NT. Love the look, love the construction. The sound is honestly something I don't love about it. A good 23 years since I first played one, my preference for bass tone has gone much more towards the P-Bass, that round warm full tone. For hi-fi slap, I prefer the stingray. The thumb sounds too Jaco, too thin for me. I bought the Fortress V bolt on for 1/3rd the price of a Thumb NT and I have to say it has a greater tonal range and a surprising amount of low end for a Warwick. While clearly a beat up road warrior after over two decades of playing, it has only sounded better with age.
The Thumb can have a lot of low end. It’ll cut through the mix far better than any fender though. I’ve had a lot of both brands….don’t use fender anymore!
@@Nickthebassist01 Oddly I don't use a fender P for much of anything but I'm getting a convincing P-Bass tone out of something that looks nothing like a P-Bass: A Curbow I. E. Petite V on full neck pickup. I've never played a bass with flatter action or more reliable neck in my life. It's not the best sounding bass I have but it's a killer touring bass that definitely cuts through a mix.
I'm not crazy about the slap tone of the Thumb bass, to nasal, much rather have the Fender Jazz or fender jazz style bass. Great tone for funk though, very midrangie.
lol I think my Warwick that I ordered brand new 11 years ago is better. lmao I've tried "vintage " Warwick NT5 . No difference exep for the old one looks less awesome . :) I could also say that my 76 Fender Precision Bass is better for being older but that wouldn't be true and it would make me sound like a dueche bag.

I ask myself the same question!
It barks, burps and growls. It's alive
I wish I'm a bass player. I'm always in love with Warwick basses!
good taste!
Why not start playing? You can always learn! And yes, you've got great taste.
Its never too late, im probably getting a preowned warwick 5 string bass soon, oh yea and i been playing almost a year now
Once you Warwick you don't go back. Best investment ever.
An absolute gem of a bass. So full of character...
I can always pick out a thumb bass on a recording. That's a promise. Kinda give a fretless sound
I so want one of these basses. It looks absolutely amazing. Great review Andy!
Getting my hands on one of these has been on my bucket list for some time!
The guy is a damn slap bass GOD.
Great bass... I have one just like that one!!! GREAT SOUND!!!
If I wasn't poor I would go out and buy this bass straight away! Sounds absolutely astonishing
Ryan Martinie called and he wants his bass back.
love seeing the thumb in this guys huge hands
the best product of warwick the most beautiful.
Such a beautiful bass , where do I order one ? I looked at the Warwick website but there’s no option to buy !!!!

Are the thumb basses prone to headstock diving, since their bodies are relatively short?
Shopping for one
Bubinga or Ovanglol?
Not easy to find them in shops to try
Leaning towards 5 string vs 4 but would privilege sound or # of strings
Gahhhh brb. Gonna go rob like 5 banks. A Thumb 4 or 5st NT has been my dream bass for years!
You are god of bass!!!!
Love this guy!!
I couldn't agree with you more! I just want one so bad!
can't say enough, I've owned Thumb and now a $ $ Double Buck and they're great basses. If it aint broke, don't fix it.....
What I appreciate about the Thumb is it sounds the same with new strings and old strings
the GAS is strong with this bass. it is my dream bass i want one sooooo bad.
I got mine when they were still $3,500.oo :) Totally worth it.
MAN!!! you play like a Prince.. I wanna take up the Bass now.

+Joston Powell I sell my warwick Thumb bass NT if you want.. it´s just like the video. 3500€
I would if I wasn't broke =D

I neeeeeed one!
Wyn basses are full of flavor for 3500 Randell Fullmer knows what he is doing. That's a good deal.

Warwick sounds amazing on the new JFAC record. It's like he said when you hear it on a recording and you know instantly what it is.
I want that sosssososoooo baaaaaddd....Good thing i'm saving for it :P
Best bass ever!!!! I love my 05 NT
Does anyone know what kind of Jazz is at the 8:58 ?
Such a beautiful bass
Killer low end but the highs seem a bit muted and dark.
i just bought a vintage 88 thumb 5 NT and they are better than the new ones.
it is simply the tits.
It's not warm, is it?
They say ''only'' whether it was 10 dollars or 10000....
Okay now which one of you anonymous youtubers is giving me $5,000 to get one? Checks work.
Turd Furgeson you can buy some on second hand for less than a 1000 bucks now.. :)
Most closely to a Rick in my opinion although still with it's own touch. It's just an excellent sounding bass, no question.
