I love my 2017 GPS Thumb BO 5. I recently changed the chrome hardware to black and installed a bell brass Just-A-Nut III, then I set the action extremely low and that thing growls like a beast asking to be "tamed" lol I've struggled with slapping for over a decade and now it clicked and I've been making progress daily, consistently. Super low action was impossible on my cheap 300 dollar basses with horrible fret work, soft woods and dull electronics

@Halfpastseven4 жыл бұрын
Bob Wijntjes I actually did a comparison video on that on this channel. I didn’t notice any tone differences to be honest. I think if you want the sound of a Thumb you gotta get the 5 string models either BO or NT. They have the slanted pickups that give it a sick sound. I think the main difference is really cosmetic other than having 2 extra frets on the NT. Sound wise they sound 99% the same. If you want the high end wood choice and look go for the NT if you just want the sound of a Thumb go for the BO. If there was no budget I’d go for the NT though. Also the NT has a 3 band eq vs the 2 band on the BO. I run my Basses passive and use an equalizer so that part doesn’t really matter to me. You can always just use an eq to make up for the lack of mid control on the BO model if you like using the active electronics.

@Halfpastseven5 жыл бұрын
Yeah I should do that! That’s a good idea! I can you give a few tips I use in this comment. 1. Brand new strings Daddario’s super steels medium gauge. 2. Truss rod set at the proper relief so there is minimal string buzz. 3. Boost Highs 6k-10k either on your bass or amp/studio gear 4. Boost high mids 2-4K slightly 5. Boost bass frequencies 50-80hz 6. Punch/tap the strings with your right hand fingers instead of the regular finger style, this is what gives it that attack almost like slapping the bass with your thumb. You will have to adjust your wrist for this. 7. Use compression to bring out harmonics, add sustain and to soften the attack of any harsh frequencies. 8. De tune the bass to C or lower. (The secret) to the Thumb sounding like a gurgling monster. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! It’s mainly open strings for the main riff with a half step up and down on the G string on the transition lines to start the riff over. The trick here is the triplets. I use my left hand and thumb to make the triplets instead of double thumbing. And the plucks are added in between where the drums aren’t as busy. They are also single plucks. I don’t have tabs, since I just kinda winged it here and thought it might be cool to put up on KZbin!

Yes! On this bass there is only one knob that balances the pickups. Turned all the way clockwise when looking down is 100% Neck pick up. In the center it’s split 50/50 both front and rear pick up and then all the way counter clockwise is 100% rear pick up. It’s a smooth blend knob but it clicks into place when in the centered position. I split the pickups 50/50 in this video.

I'm so crossed between Bolt On and Neck Thru versions of this bass...
@Halfpastseven5 жыл бұрын
Get the bolt on if you want the 99% the tone the NT has.. Get the Neck Thru if you want the extra cosmetics, more exotic woods, slightly different shape and 2 extra frets

I did a comparison video of both models you can hear there isn’t much of a difference. If you don’t watch and just listen you can barely tell..

@@Halfpastseven I see, but what about the fact the the NT has got a three way preamp while the BO has got a two way one? Does it make a big difference or not?
@Halfpastseven5 жыл бұрын
It does make a difference but, if you have a good equalizer you can set it at the same frequencies so you don’t have to use the active electronics. When recording I set everything flat before it hits any gear, and do all the Eqs and compression afterwards that way you have more control over the final mix.

Is it German Pro Series ?
@Halfpastseven4 жыл бұрын
No it is 2003 German Warwick, before they started making the Pro Series. This is considered ”Masterbuilt“ now a days.

The “Pro series” come with Chrome Hardware that’s how you know. Look for the black hardware when it comes to Thumb Basses.

@@Halfpastseven Thank you for replying! Your bass and bass tone are amazing! I think it really sounds like Ryan Martinie's tone. I actually have THUMB 5string (Pro-series though. looks little similar to yours), and I have been trying to make a sound like your tone for long time but somehow I can't. So I asked you a question, thank you! Sorry I'm not good at English😞I'm Japanese bassist haha

Thank you! I honestly got super lucky with this bass. I don’t need to adjust the truss rod or bridge with the same strings and it still sounds clean! When I played it at a store I was blown away by how clean it sounded in standard tuning since it was a used bass my expectations weren’t super high but, I began to play it and I was blown away and had to have it.
@KC-dg9pu5 жыл бұрын
so do you just plug this thing in and its gets that tone or is there more at play?
@Halfpastseven5 жыл бұрын
Yeah pretty much. As long as it has new strings and a good set up it will sound pretty close to this. There’s a slight cut in mids, slight boost in lows, and slight boost in highs with mild compression and that’s it.

@@Halfpastseven Thanks for quick reply. Are there lower end warwicks that have a comparable tone?
@Halfpastseven5 жыл бұрын
Yes, you would have to get the Thumb model in the Rockbass or the Pro series to get the Thumb tone and it has to be the 5 string model the way the pickups are angled. That has a lot to do with the tone.
