I went to guitar shop tonight looking for Warwick bass.....I wish I can find a Dolphin Pro 1, there are a Thumb BO 4 and dirty blonde LTD 2006, the blonde looks beautiful, I have watched Andy C Saxton clip on youtube, it sounds cool, maybe I will buy it if it price is good, before the worker go down floor to bring the blonde, he give me the Thumb BO 4 first, I had never play Thumb Bo 4 before, after my first slap.................BOOM!! OMG, we are shaked...

The sound is full of punch, the response is fast, I had play my friend's Thumb NT 4 before, the response is fast but the punch is not enough, I got not idea why the BO 4 is so different to the NT 4 and more different to my NT 5.....that is the slapping sound which I am search for......my only concern is the BO looks ugly compare to the NT...

Then the workder bring the dirty blonde 4, after the BO 4, the blodne didn't surprised me, the fingerboard is maybe ebony so the sounds is not so woody, of course, the blonde is much exprience then the BO 4 but after few test, the BO 4 is the winner....

Thumb NT 5 is my first Warwick, then SSI 5, Thumb BO 6, SSII 4, Buzzard....before tonight, I will say the SSI is the best slapping bass and SSII is the most special slapping bass, after tonight, the Thumb BO 4 is super slapping bass.....

I don't understand why Warwick want to make Thumb bass so different, hello Thumb BO 4 owners, do you guys feel the same?

Electric guitars have a few more bells and whistles than acoustics. Most electric guitars are not hollow, thus when you strike the strings, the sound produced is very quiet. In order to project the sound of an electric guitar, a guitar amplifier is needed. Generally, people find electric guitars to be a little more confusing than acoustic guitars - there are more knobs and buttons to deal with, and there are also a few more things that can go wrong.

Electric guitars are generally much easier to play than acoustic guitars. The strings are lighter, and easier to press down. The sore fingers that many novices experience when learning on an acoustic guitar generally aren't nearly as much of an issue when learning on electric guitar.

I´ve played both BO and NT models in 4 strings, my impressions were that I loved most the BO, it had an agresiveness that the NT lacked, and I love that in a bass.

No, I didn't buy that Thumb BO 4 due the price!!!!!!!! the bass is 2005 old stock but the price feels like 2010 price to me...I told to the boss and they said the price I am looking for ......if I can find, she will buy 10 bass from me...

I realized that I can always find Thumb BO 4 in the price they offer, I will take my time, maybe buy a used on ebay...much cheaper..

Now I am thinking to buy a used Dolphin Pro 1 first, Warwick will rise the price every year, I should collect my wish list model sooner, start with the the expensive one.... but I will buy a Thumb BO 4 one day.....for my main slapping machine.
 

Those are the lamest spammers ever. At least act like a spammer if you are one, be a man!!!

It is always a link in the text that leads to a store or something. I edited it, so it goes to the right place to see guitars.
