yepmop Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Really good read, seems like they have a lot of time for browsers over there, unlike here where they want you out the door if you not flashing your wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 True. I imagine mentioning Basschat and handing over my business card may have helped a little, too. But I'm sure there is no pressure at all to buy or be quick for any customers who walk in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks Bluejay, My soft spot is for Thumb NT's. I've just loved them since they came out and Jack Bruce is my idol so i had no choice but to buy one many moons ago. Do like those Jack Bruce ones tho - Mmmmmmm !!!!!!!

KevB Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I promised myself I wouldn't contribute to this thread 'cos most of you know I don't like the look of Warwicks. But then I saw the pic of the selection of Thumbs and the [b]single cuts [/b]in particular and I couldn't stop myself. Yes yes it's all in the eye of the beholder but holy mother of christ they are the victorian freak show of the bass world aren't they? I'm sorry if I've offended anyone but I just had to get it off my chest. Again. As you were... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm not keen on single cut in any type of bass, by Warwick or anyone else, but I do like the shape of the "normal" Thumb model. and those woods are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 How have I only just seen this?! Bluejay, what were the 5 string necks like that you tried? Chunky or skinny or normal? Also were they the new (again) wenge necks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 All current Warwick necks are thin, like [i]really[/i] thin, and very kind to the fretting hand, in my opinion. I now have a variety of Warwick 5-stringers and they all have 17mm string spacing, standard 45mm nut, and D-shaped necks. They're not lightweight, though.
