Warwick German Pro Series Thumb Bolt On, 5-String, Burgundy Red Oil, MEC Electronics
Player's Perspective
Warwick’s new Pro Series instruments are made entirely in Germany – in the same factory where Warwick’s highest-end, most souped-up models are built. The Pro Series was always good, but now it reflects a new standard of build quality, tone and playability. This one just instantly reminds me of Larry Graham's slap tone.
Small bodied but huge toned, the Thumb is an essential Warwick model that’s used by plenty of the world’s best bassists. I love the stripped-down, naturally ergonomic feel of the body. It’s easy to play sitting or standing and contours to your body nicely. The sound of this bass – fueled by two potent active pickups – is punchy and direct. It can wear a whole lot of different hats depending on your playing style and how you tweak the EQ – you’ll find this model in the hands of metalheads, rock bassists and the funkiest of the funky. This has always been a great design, and it just got even better.
Manufacturer's Description
This 5-string Warwick Pro Series Thumb Bolt-On sports an ovangkol body with a burgundy red oil finish. The neck is also ovangkol, and it has a comfortable wenge fingerboard that’s been given Warwick’s IFT treatment. Electronically, this bass is decked out with two active MEC J/J pickups wired to a great preamp. Quality hardware and unbeatable craftsmanship top off the design.
