The Warwick Thumb Singlecut - Product Demo with Andy Irvine

[@aaron.biketrials]

Action looked so low and zero buzz. Amazing. Sounds beautiful!

[@TomasiAkimeta]

My dream bass = the 5 String Thumb Singlecut... so gorgeous AND gorgeous sounding!

[@metalheadneji]

This is probably the best Warwick I've heard based off demo's; I must get my hands on one of them.

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

We have a Warwick Dealer in Singapore, it's Swee Lee Holdings Pte Ltd., 150 Sims Drive 38781 Singapore. You can find all details for all countires easily with the "Dealer" search on our website. You can find the link in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFreebasslessons]

The opening bass line comes from one of my tunes, "Long In the Tooth"

[@TheFreebasslessons]

Thanks for the suggestions!! always trying improve the quality for the best results for all =)

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

First of all, I have to say, it's a question of taste. But if you are looking for the well-known singing sound of a fretless, there's not really a way around using roundwound strings. For example, we equip our fretless basses with Warwick EMP strings which bear the benefit of lasting longer thanks to an ultra-thin coating. Thanks for watching!

[@TylerMillsftw]

I think they look kind of cool, but the best advantage I bet is balance more than anything. You can keep the balance right while getting a nice cutaway to the last fret.

[@jbcarbou]

Wow, really nice bass!

[@wintonwhite7909]

I love that hillbilly intro you did :) It's amazing you can go from that to some sweet modern jazz/R&B tone.

[@CorinGatwood]

haha yeah. though that dull, toneless sound is bad

[@sammuell92]

The sound of the Thumb SG is so amazing. Do you guys have any other basses with the same combination of tone wood but different cuttings?

[@GoreF1en4]

This is my DREAM BASS!! I need to start saving up money..

[@MuscleDad420]

"versatality"

[@dellebelphine-moralez3510]

flawless victory!

[@lobsterbass6495]

Ok so I always wanted a Musicman Stingray as my lifetime bass....but after watching a ton of Warwick videos, I am looking for the Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string, these guitars are so beautiful, they could look badass like an ESP ltd or a SG but these look badass in there own way, and i'll honest, these in my opinion are the best sounding basses I have ever heard, I hope to own a Warwick in my life. or even play one.

[@kylesmith-gz5hw]

once you have one its with you for life. Never had a problem with my 4 string corvette

[@lobsterbass6495]

***** It's just a matter of price, it's not like 4 grand just falls into your lap, but you're right, I believe Ralph Armstrong said it best....get yourself a lifetime investment and get yourself a Warwick bass

[@davidsolano9363]

I get a corvette $$ 5 string and its a beuty! you wont regret if you buy it! 100% recomended and i preffer my corvette than this thumb!

[@fireemblemistrash75]

I love warwick but the website almost never had anything, and the 6 months is understandable, but sometimes it’s better going for a used one

[@evilmushroom100]

Hey Andy, what was the first piece you were playing at the start? sounds awesome, and I would love to use that for a solo performance that I have to do at the end of the year.

[@TheKille22]

Hey there Andy! What's that ditty that you play in the beginning of the video. Is there any possibility to get tabs or notes? I know that you made it on the spot but can you recall the notes played? Oh yeah since I have no money to get the real deal is tere going to be a Rockbass Thumb Singlecut version of the bass because I like it very much and I bet there are others!

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Dear TheKille22, there will be a Rockbass Thumb but not in a single cut Version. Please have a look: warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--German-Pro-Serie--German-Pro-Serie--Thumb.html Cordially, Anne

[@TheKille22]

Framus & Warwick Hey! Thanks for the info! You guys rock :-D

[@TylerMillsftw]

Honestly, if there would be any demo that would sell this bass to me.. it'd be this one. The tones are incredible but I am just not that wealthy yet.

[@thorugs2816]

All the expected versitality of a high end craftsmanship product

[@aldrencleiton5870]

lindo, pena que não tem algo assim no Brasil

[@three10media]

3:48 Andy makes up a new word.. Versitality

[@nsalaza]

I know that these pickups are passive, but are these pickups dual-coils?

[@clydebigsby4117]

I really wish you had bass players demo your products.

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Irvine_(bassist) That's the guy presenting you this bass ;)

[@clydebigsby4117]

he sounds like he never laid down a grove in his life.

[@1okanaganguy]

Impressed. good vid

[@lsjones42]

Is there any way yall would give a bass a way, id love to have one!

[@pecavallo]

Is there any more information about those pickups construction? blade or poles?

[@pecavallo]

***** Thanks a lot Johannes! It is always great to know more about your great instruments ;)

[@justicefortrance]

I'm really wondering how I can get this to my country - Singapore

[@dryvibe]

What's the difference of the Broad Neck version with the regular (in measurement/figures)?

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Dear Mick, please have a look on our website. Here are the specs for a 6 string and a 6 string braod neck. Corially, Anne warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--Made-in-Germany--Warwick-Series--Thumb-SC--Thumb-SC--6-Saiten--Description.html#current_site_id warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--Made-in-Germany--Warwick-Series--Thumb-SC--Thumb-SC-Broad-Neck--6-string--Description.html#current_site_id

[@demidbaynazarov9728]

anyway if santa bring me this - i'll hug him

[@Gregsheppo66]

Btw Andy. Are the weights of the brass & lightweight bridges available?

[@Icanplaybassme]

Which set or Warwick strings would you recommend for a 6 string fretless?

[@NorthTexasEagle1989]

(3d bridge=mind blown)+(adjustable nut)=mind obliteration. looks heavy?

[@existentialopal721]

4:00 wow That’s what I want to hear instead of a trebly “twang” I’m gonna say it my mind is blown 🤯

[@embracingthemadness1722]

i am not gonna complain that my 5 string bass is hard to play anymore

[@giojerusalem]

How much is the bass

[@TommyboyGTP]

Very nice! How much?

[@Djamezzzz]

Jesus was the bassist. Аnd now he would have played on this bass.

[@jazzman1954]

Jesus couldn't have afforded this bass. People who can won't pass through the eye of a needle.

[@xydex99]

Well... HOLY SHIT DAT BASS

[@billkeon880]

Versitality...? That’s the second video I’ve heard Andy say this

[@kevinaldridge2900]

Intro reminds me of walking is still honest by against me. Obviously not that song though

[@hampulator]

Sounds "Nasally" all around to me?IMO

[@byjuu246]

I agree!!!

[@hampulator]

byjuu246 Ya,definitely get a Jaco tone huh? lol

[@sethnicholls7861]

The Thumb is great at most tones, especially nasally yet growly! Hard to get a P bass tone from it, but that's not the point.

[@MrRundas]

Soooo... the price of the 6 fretless?

[@manniples]

+MrRundas About 7000€ if i'm not completely wrong.

[@MrRundas]

I've checked the list price and you are right... Too much for my financial resources ;( ;( ;(

[@droidappshd3089]

+manniples i would my sell my car if i want

[@rajangenesisn.sanchez508]

I wish Warwick can produce a 4 string version of this Bass....

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Hello Rajan, we can produce it in any configuration you wish. shop.warwick.de/#Searchword:Thumb%20Singlecut

[@McOuroborosBurger]

That bass is a thumb, but Andy looks like a thumb thumb from spy kids.

[@McBurnside6380]

Eventually we are going to run out of trees making these instruments. I'm going graphite for my next bass.

[@Khazandar]

Since Warwicks wood "consumption" is sustainable, that's unlikely.

[@Allenbass7]

It's okay. They grow back 😂

[@MountainMetal]

You've never planted a single tree? Sit down.

[@eddyc4603]

Woah.

[@ppgabesz]

OH! MY! GOD!

[@Gregsheppo66]

My mum used to have a saying,

[@telesagonzalez]

:( ha quiero uno pero jamaz podria tener tanto dinero :( siempre e tomado a warwick como la mejor marca del universo

[@PieroMinayaRojas]

Déjame adivinar... Ryan Martinie?

[@CemAkdemir]

Sounds like a Ken Smith to me just a bit brighter.

[@jazzman1954]

Sounds like a Cort to me apart from the price tag

[@Alex69eyes]

Price? in € please...

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Dear Alex, the pricelist can be viewed here: warwick.de/en/Warwick---Pricelists--Warwick-Masterbuilt.html . The price is 7.259,00 €.

[@Alex69eyes]

Framus & Warwick thanks!

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

No offence to Warwick and their people but Andy Irvine could string up a ketchup bottle and make it sound good

[@seanlikestoeat]

ugh the wood is so resonant

[@demidbaynazarov9728]

nice try.. it would be interesting to ask Vinny Fodera - what he thinks about this bass :)

[@InfiniteRhombus]

holy shit the action of the higher strings is so low

[@kuyaferds8715]

Bro

[@chandlerplusbass]

VERSITALITY

[@LRS905]

As a Warwick fan and owner, this thing looks like a fucking beluga whale, ugh.

[@greymoth4917]

That sounds a little too bright

[@DeltaYankee6]

Love this bass, but Andy you've lost your sparkle dude. Ditch the script and bring the character back x

[@hetschhog]

Sorry for this, but all those hip single cut basses are so ugly.

[@aaron.biketrials]

But sound beautiful

[@asoo786]

***** you are ugly

[@1BassJohn]

***** Some of them look really sexy.

[@numberneinlarge9965]

H. Hetschko I personally like the design of the Ibanez single cut basses, but I don't really like the Warwick design.

[@robertmolldius8643]

Yes they are!👍😁

[@harryanderson9681]

I was expect this to sound amazing(Given its a Thumb), but to my ears its just AWFUL. That and the lack of upper fret access on the lower strings make this seem like a lose-lose situation :(.

[@yumiinaction9759]

I hope your ears improved since.

[@DuxJerome]

Im not really impressed with the sound. Well thats a matter of taste anyway.

[@gimmeagig]

All those exotic woods carefully crafted into a work of art still doesn't sound as good as a mass produced slapped together Fender Jazz bass from the 70s.

[@1BassJohn]

gimmeagig Boutique basses can sound amazing. That's the difference. I have a Sadowsky, and yearn for something with the rock solid feel of a boutique bass. But you are right, I have a thumb bass I am selling, because exotic woods can sound good in theory (in this case, the Thumb does have a very unique tone). But in my preference, it's so dense and heavy, that it just doesn't breathe. Best of both worlds for me personally is to have a nice boutique instrument with nice breathable light woods like ash etc. Having said that, I have a Warwick SSI 6 string, lighter woods, beautiful :) Forgive the rant ! haha

[@bassman3235]

gimmeagig that's your opinion

[@kennethbeavers6903]

gimmeagig the point is it's not supposed to be or sound like a Fender. It definitely has multiple character

[@Khazandar]

Tone doesn't "breathe". It's not alive.

[@Zombbg4]

Well a great sounding vintage jazz has the worst modern bass tone. This is a modern bass, will not sound like vintage bass. You have compared a Porche to an aircraft.

[@Gregsheppo66]

If you can't say something pleasant? Say nothing. It only makes you look foolish.

[@spinacker16]

Awful form beautiful sound.

[@MatZacharis]

Simply disgusting

[@Peppeblackmetal]

There is no such a thing as "tone wood" sorry, plastic, wood, metal, they all sound the same

[@joshuaclaytonsmith]

Just don’t dig these single cutaway basses.

[@indobassgear2087]

Yeaah whats the point for that large cutaway

[@jazzman1954]

So you can play guitar licks obviously.😬

[@hartmuthillmann]

Nice guy, horrible sound. For this money you can get a really good bass or even a used Fodera.

[@simonrobert9858]

Handcrafted in Germany vs Handcrafted in USA
