The Tone Monster: Warwick Thumb Bass Demo

[@bassistbpl]

The most beautiful bass in the world

[@ОлександрРаєв]

Yeah, "neck" pickup :) There are like two bridge pickups. Or bridge and middle.

Warwick thumb, the best Warwick forever ....

[@EricT43]

[@tigerscott2966]

[@-GRAVESITE-]

[@aluisiod1910]

[@DavePorterBand]

Thanks for watching!

[@willyplaysbass]

wish that was a short scale one 😮

[@-GRAVESITE-]

Why?

[@willyplaysbass]

@@-GRAVESITE- so, i can buy one 😍

[@butacos1388]

I own StreamerLX4 but I always interest Thumb bass because it’s tone😢

[@matibasscl]

I have it, but its just a one trick pony, also i have a 90s Streamer which a i love. Very nice video!

[@CYTVim]

How would you describe that one trick? Sincerely asking, I loved the tone in the video. Growl, character, fits styles of music I like.

[@matibasscl]

@@CYTVim cut like a knife in the mix, and it is exhausting to hear it in every song, plus with old strings it sounds horrendous

[@CYTVim]

@@matibasscl I get it, that makes sense

[@DavePorterBand]

Thanks for watching!

[@ОлександрРаєв]

​@@CYTVim bass with two bridge pickups - yeah, wide range of sounds for sure.

[@ronaldfreilich3224]

Silly question but i gotta know. Are there any qualities of the bass that would impede a beginner from learning on and growing into it?

[@DavePorterBand]

Good question! In my opinion, no. I think it's important to start learning on a bass that is set up well (neck relief, action, etc) than learning on one that is set up poorly to avoid learning bad techniques. Thanks for watching!

[@jagpanzer16]

Is this the Pro Series bolt-on 5 string thumb?

[@DavePorterBand]

Yes it is!

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

Try some DR hi beams on your corvette $$, i won’t let any other strings touch my frets now. Makes for really glassy highs and tight, defined lows

[@DavePorterBand]

I have a set just waiting to go on! Have you tried the Dragon Skin coated series? I received a pair of those as well and wondering if they're as good or better than Elixir's? Thanks for watching!

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

@@DavePorterBand haven’t tried the dragon skins yet, you’ll have to give me your impressions. For a five string set coming in at almost $50, they better keep their sound for awhile!

[@maciejbrusio8321]

I guess that it is the first video on youtube properly comparing the Thumb to other Warwicks :)

[@DavePorterBand]

Thanks for watching!
