saibuster Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Amazing looking and sounding bass. Is there a great difference in sound between yours and a new thumb? Edited July 21, 2008 by saibuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master blaster Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 i played a new 5 string thumb in the shop. They sounded similar but i found they had and totally different feel. I found the newers ones lack the build quality of the older ones as they are all more mas produced now. The newer ones are lighter tho so i guess they will be easier to play in a set.

saibuster Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Im thinking of buying a new bass in the next couple of month and the thumb is one of my options. I never had a chance to properly play one and see how it feels, but from the 5 minutes i played it in a shop the neck felt HUGE to my small hands.

ped Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have tried G77's thumb and found the neck to be extremely nice, pencil thin and very comfy. I have never played a new one but I thought the 'Warwicks have far necks' thing was a misnomer, or perhaps it is true of the recent ones? I am not very 'up' on Warwicks at all, so don't listen to me.

Master blaster Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 mines neck is really nice. i love the fact it has 26 frets even tho i dont see why anyone would want that many. i like the look of the silver bridge and hardware on yours. I had to take mine into repair the other day and i was left to play a Mexican fender jazz. I hated every min of it couldnt stand then fender cos it seemed so much harder to play.
