Yeah I vote Stingray, but it's a Ric in the video. Either we all need some earwax treatment, or the video is FAKE!

Just entertaining a thought, but from a purely mechanical point of view, a bigger cone will certainly make a bigger displacement easier, and will move a lot of air by itself relatively easily. Unless your small cone design has some funky engineering allowing it to move back and forth a lot without shredding itself to pieces. Hence my point regarding how easier and cheaper it is to produce a large speaker than an array of small, high quality, higly durable 10'' speakers.

Or then again, I could be wrong.

I've always understood it is much easier (and cheaper) to get powerful ultra low frequencies with a large speaker, at the expense of poor higher frequency response. Not really an expert, but I'd love to hear an expert opinion about the qualities of large speakers vs small speakers for reproducing low frequencies at high volumes.

Steal it.

hmmm on second thought, don't, I think the shop attendant knows you too well by now. If GAS fever makes you do it anyway, you didn't get the idea from me, understood?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the construction is set-neck. Not that it matters really. Superb instruments in every way!

x means scratch plate. All the way up to the BB2024/X.

Saw it's twin brother in some shop, and it had an incredible tone, even with tired strings. Loads of midrange, mellow, Not agressive, almost a fretless quality to it. Absolutely loved the natural look as well. Very clean.

I'd bought it, but was looking for something with more bite :/ I kinda regret it now.

Saw another one in Thomann, with black hardware. Even better. That's the look Warwick should go for imo.

The Thumb BO 5 I had was the complete polar opposite. Super aggressive and growly, awesome B, heavy as an oil tanker, horizontal balance, and awkward to play.

I don't think this one is meant to be played. More like a trophy in a display cabinet, or in a 'museum'.

Real shame, but hey...

Yeah the Trebor mint looks is actually quite nice! Maybe not so nice for keeping it clean though.

I'd be weary of car-boot crap. Laminate bodies and broken trussrods. eek! Still, for a tenner, maybe a good way to learn how to do a complete make over.

Supply and demand?

Still, charging hell for it is cheeky. Brooklyn style!

Having owned a Thumb BO 5 once, great sound, loved the looks and build, but an instrument of torture comfort wise, and soooo heavy!

Fishbone - Black Flowers. Emo' Fishbone!

Dunno why Warwick persists with chrome hardware. Black is much better with wood grain.

And still people buy them. They must be backordered. Good on them tbh. Make hay while the sun shines.

Not really my look, but I must say, it's kicking ass and taking names.

Insomnium. Metal programming.

Impressive result, but...

It's lacking Goth stickers.

Warwick 5 strings are bit more neck heavy. Dunno if it's the big neck, the headstock mass. The Thumb I had preferred a more horizontal balance, my 5 strings Corvette $$ had a very slight neck dive, but much better than the thumb.

Phoarrr...That's down right filthy!

Hate the shape? Looks pretty spiffing to me!

I'd say, wizard pickups, black hardware for a less tacky look (hipshot A + hipshot ultralites).

$$$ woohoo! $$$

Looks like ebony or composite. iirc the metal ones are shiny.

Something Jazz-like, and a second hand amp. Jazz (two pickups) give you a bit more versatility. For the amp, check it at volume, and check if it's got some nice stuff like a cd-in and headphone jack.

BSSM bass tabs (for about a tenner) is a must have as well

... but it's an ESP, so it must be true!



Ain't it lovely!

maple / mahogany string-through, ebony board, mahogany body, ebony top, mathcing headstock, ESP three band EQ + pickups.

for £530.

How do they do it?

phoar...
