Hi folks, anyone know of the best balanced 5 string Warwick out there. I've tried a Thumb bolt on 5 string and Streamer Jazzman 5 string and personally found them to be too neck heavy for my liking. I'm digging the sound of the basses just the ergonomics don't agree with me. I've currently got two 4 string Warwicks but I'm needing that low B string!
Deal now done, thanks. I'm liking the thumb a lot!! It's certainly lived up to my expectations and I now understand what everyone is on about, tone, tone, tone!!
These are good basses, I had one at one point, think I paid £420 (or was it £470?) for it brand new. I'm pretty sure that they are german made but obviously to a price.
Go with the squier, the basses are very good value for money and the sound you get from them is nice. I would get some half or flat wounds on it as the ebanol fingerboard does mark fairly easily. Pickups are also good on them.
I've fitted it anyway even though it is made rather badly. It is nice to be able to drop d easily whilst playing. So overall works well, but could be made much much better!!
