thumb

So I got a little bored during my Christmas break from work and decided to snap a few photo's of my Wick in HDRI. HDRI is pretty sweet if you haven't messed with it yet. I'm no photographer, but I enjoy taking pics like this and making them look cool. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to...

I own a thumb BO, and i have had this problem since i have gotten this bass: i get very punchie loud low ends, but weak quiet highs and mids. and ALL of the notes on the E string are loud. and on the a d and g strings are quiet. I have tryed adjusting it, but nothing is worked. is it all thumb...

Hi I am new here - been lurking, reading and listening to clips. Seems to be a nice forum. I love the sound of my Thumb 5 NT. Percussive, cutting through the mix live and recorded as if there is a compressor inside. But this is love with some reservations. The lack of balance.... And...

here's some clips from back in the day, thumb 6, tuned f#, b, e, a, d, g. d.a.r.k. - Tracks - SoundCloud (the 'wick is listed as sub contra bass guitar) cheers

Here is our first completed video (woo-hoo!), and the music is one of our newest recordings. Signal chain was Thumb --> Mesa Fathom --> mic'd Uber 410 --> Distressor --> board. My overall sound is ~ 80% mic and 20% DI... love it...

I miss the bass already, didn't know it would turn out like this because the thumb was the one I allways ended up playing the least. Suppose this makes me thumbless! p.s. and this goes out to all the others trying to sell a thumb bass - don't do it :) =g=

Hey all! Hopefully Florin may be able to see this, or if possible some of the other estimable forum members here may be able to field this question! I just acquired a 97 Thumb last week, via Ebay, and when I received it, I took it for a test drive and noticed some type of white noise which came...

Hey guys, First of all I would like to say hi to all of you! I'm a newbie on this forum but have been playing bass for about 29 years. Once I owned a Fortress Masterman 5, but traded it for some other bass. But... Just about a week ago I bought a '94 Thumb 5 BO, with which I'm very very...

This is a song a liked for a very long time, and that, unfortunatelly, is unknown to so many people. When I finally bought the Cat People OST, I found out that the song sounded too eighties for my taste. But, still, a great song (Bowie Rocks even in the eighties). Then I decided do record it...

Hey everyone, I just got my 91 fretless 5 string thumb in the mail yesterday and thought I would post some pics. I got this bass just browsing the Guitar Center used gear section of their site. This bass is freaking amazing! It has the MEC j pups and the MEC 2 band eq as well as a stunning...

How come some thumbs have two J style pickups that are angled right next to each other by the bridge, and others have one angled by the bridge and another one that goes straight across in the middle of the body

Hello everybody, I'm the happy owner of a beautiful Thumb bass BO 5 strings. But the volume control is getting old I think, and it cracks quite often. A couple of months ago I went to see a specialist who cleaned it up, but the crackings are back already. I guess the right solution would be...

As the title says, i've got the option of trading my thumb BO 5 for a buzzard BO - in straight trade which I like. My only reservation atm is that it's a 4 string (I prefer 5ers atm)- but having a 4stringer kicking about isn't really a bad thing. Atm i'm thinking i'd just go ahead and trade i...

Hey folks! Yesterday I had a dream come true. I picked up my first ever ´88 Warwick Thumb 5 NT. It´s got EMGs and it sounds awesome! As you can see on the pics it´s kinda road worn because the former owner has been touring with it for 20 years. So I decided to give it a little overhaul but not...

I have a 2001 LTD Thumb BO w/ Bubinga top and am tired of waxing it. I like the wet look of it right after I wax it, but I have neither time nor energy for waxing it frequently any more. So, I'm thinking of the following two options. 1. Apply glossy poly. 2. Stain it to get a maple or...

Does anybody know where I could get a replacement MEC preamp for my 87 88 ?? Thumb. Since a power outage/restore at a gig recently I am intermittantly getting volume loss and distortion. It has to be the preamp going faulty, I have metered out the wiring and checked all solder joints, the jack...

I was wondering, I found this little beauty for sale (but I haven't bought it... yet :) ) and I was wondering from you warwick experts which could be a good price for this instrument. Thanks a lot. Francesco

Hello everybody, I just introduced myself in the cafe and already got a question. I´m sneaking around some offers on ebay Germany and would be glad to get some advice on this offer here: I´ve asked the seller some questions about trussrod, woods and whether the neck is okay. Now I´m waiting...

Hi, I'm a new comer from Japan to Warwick Forum. I read some of posts in the forum to consider of if Warwick could fit me when I'd been searching for my next bass after playing various basses for 25 years. And eventually I've just got a Thumb '91 and it really sounds great!!:d I appreciate all...

Hi all! I have a Thumb NT'90, a real oldie but still young and fresh. It has the original Bartolini pickup system and I have no problems with it appart from being able to play it too less time. I have a doubt: When you pull the treble knob you have a different sound that affects the bridge...
