Nathan always sounds great.

Always enjoy listening to Nathan play, and now he's dropping knowledge! Poor Nathan, all alone, fiddling with his own knobs because no one else is there to fiddle with them...

Yeah. If there was only someone else to fiddle with Nathan's knob

The pickup placement on the 5 string is to help tighten up the sound of the B string by putting them closer to the bridge.

In my humblest of opinions, there are few, if any, better manufacturers of basses than Warwick. The feel, sound, and looks are amazing. I've got a Corvette $$, and I love it more every time I play it

Agreed. Warwick set the bar years ago, not only by going completely carbon neutral in manufacturing, but by being an industry leader in production and QC. Not to mention the design team for their custom builds.

The intro sounds AMAZING, Nathan !!! Talent sure runs DEEP in the King family. Your bass playing is better than most bass players, Nathan. That fill on Peg was sick ! That TONE is the best !!!

I can’t see a Thumb without thinking of Jack Bruce, who favoured a fretless model later in his career. I saw his live solo gig at the Clapham Grand back in the 90s - a true artist, the wee man was.

Nice demo, sir! I'm sorely tempted!

Great to see - and hear - you again Nathan! Lovely stuff with the Steely Dan.

Hurray! You were missed.

I appreciated coming along on Nathan's Journey of Knowledge. Anderton's videos have always been a great Journey of Knowledge. I found the channel several years ago trying to answer the question, "What's a Squier?" Still learning.

It was interesting to learn something about the radius of the neck and how it's depending on the type of bass guitar. Your explanation was clearly!

It's nice to hear you play, Nathan.

Sounds amazing.... still has the unmistakable 'Warwick growl'

Great 👍 demos !!! He’s my fav demo guy .

Bit of Peg by Steely Dan which reminds me, i'd love a revist of Sound like Steely Dan BY busting the bank, then you can grab an MXR Flanger (either the M117 or the Micro) to replicate this song's tone better also the Warwick thumb bass sounds gnarly

That looks pretty sick!

It would be cool if they got nate a partner that played some motorhead and rancid type stuff. Would be sweet to see some punk and metal stuff on some of these vids

that would be awesome, and would give better idea of the basses/sounds.. not that the groove playing is boring by any means..

Never knew that about the radius of the neck! Makes sense. I'm not really much of a player.

Peg is a good song! I used to own a Thumb about ten years ago...

Omg Nathan that was great~ I wish you kept going with Peg

I would like to ask this model still has any problem about neck of guitar bass ?

So, do they make them left handed as well?

Random question but is Lee the bassist still at Andertons?

Thumb! 😍😍😍😍😍

Can I play songs by MAHOGANY RUSH on these basses?

What is this? Some kind of ultra-baritone guitar?

What's the bridge string spacing on the 5 ??

@chriscuthbertson

4 жыл бұрын

16.5mm is standard Warwick 5 string spacing. If you need something wider i'm sure the Warwick custom shop could build the same bass with a 'broadneck' option which would have a 20mm spacing on the 5 string.

That's how you demonstrate a bass, by playing along a track. How it sits in a mix tells me more about a bass than anything else.

Why is the pickup position different from the 5 string to the 4 string basses? Why couldn’t they just leave them the same?

We need more BASS.

Poor Nathan ☺️ cast out to the rough seas of video presenting without a shipmate in the dinghy with him. Like Morcombe without Wise, like Laurel without Hardy like Ant without Dec. Great job mate but hopefully soon you can get a partnership back in the studio soon as these videos are the highlight of a long week. Oh, the Thumb is a great sounding bass.

Warwicks are always sound like Warwick any of their guitars))))

So finally they have GPS integrated. No chance for robbers to steal your bass anymore!

This bass really needs the active engaged to sound decent.

Awww you cut off Peg just before the slap bass 😂😂😂

what does gps stand for?

Beautiful basses, but not for me. I had a Spector 5, and it had the pickups close together near the bridge. Could never get enough bass tone out of it.

Sounded to me like the "Tone" was working quite well in Passive Mode.. Must be the rhombus Mahogany!! Or, maybe, Nathan's thumb. (⌐■_■)

why cant you and Mark do one of these

Not sure I can handle wild mahogany. Tame mahogany is much more my style.

Made of mahogany or in German mahooganey!

Will you guys PLEASE tell us if the bass balances on a strap. This bass looks like a neck dive job. You explain fretboard radius and talk about how the knobs work-nothing about neck dive. It’s important!! I know you have to SELL PRODUCT but a bit of honesty would be good for your reputation.

Those thumb bass sounds so wrong! Maybe the different body wood.....

Oh, man! You look lonely :/

As a guitar tech, almost every single warwick I've ever seen has either had a twisted neck (and they only use one truss rod) or they have delamination issues, or both. Warwick is the new Rickenbacker, overpriced JUNK.

I've only played 1 Warwick bass.This was WAY back in the mid 1990's.i was very eager to give this bass a try because it had a 2-Tek bass bridge.(At the time it was touted as the holy grail of bass bridge design) Anyways, I did not like the feel of this bass at all !!!----It felt very MACHINE made. No TLC in the feel at all.---I asked the guy at the music store and he said to me "I don't like it either".---Sorry, but if I'm paying thousands on an instrument it's gotta play nice, sound nice, talk nice, look nice.---You're squeezing my wallet, i'm squeezing you !!!

To each their own I guess. One of the best sounding and playing basses I've every had. Best part is, it's versatility. I play in deathcore bands and old school jazz and blues bands. The thumb puts out some of the best tones for any genre and every sound enginer and producer I played with talks about how amazing it cuts through a mix. In terms of feel, it was odd at first to handle but after some hard earned hours it fits like a glove! Everyone has their preferences 😁
