[jbassbrett]

hi, a friend of mine has an FNA jazzman that i LOVE the tone of and i found a great deal on a NEW doublebuck 5 string that i'm considering buying, however i know very little about warwicks..i play mainly older country,some blues and southern rock, occasionally slap..i prefer fairly hot/strong pickups do you think i'll enjoy this bass?

Warwicks are great. Warwicks are heavy.

I own a Thumb BO 5.

this one says 9.4 lbs so not too bad for a 5 string, are the pickups pretty strong?

Yes the doublebuck MEC's are pretty hot.
My Dolphin 5 string is 10# on the nose.

I've had a 5-string doublebuck for almost 10 years, awesome bass with a brilliant active preamp...it has the most amazing bass boost...
