    Good for you on the Warwick upgrade (?). What makes you like the Warwick better?

    Pardon my spelling:rolleyes: . I really have always loved that warwick growl and especially the way it's present in the highs of there thumb nt line. I also just love the over all look of the thumb 5's and even the way the neck feels like I could take it to the batting cages:D , but honestly its always felt like a supremely solid bass in my hands to me. The Stingray 5 was only a step(a great step but a step none the less)towards the sound I have in my head and so far this Thumb 5 NT is closest to that.;) ....Play What You Dig.

    CONGRATS!!! i too went from a musicman (sterling) to a thumb of the same era! 'course i still have my sterling...


    but yeah, you want growl, this is the bass to have. everything just feels and sounds perfect to me. lots of people bitch about warwick necks...but i think having something substantial is the way to go.


    and, if i may recommend, try your new thumb thru an SWR interstellar overdrive preamp. i just got one, and it brings out the EXACT sound i wanted. fat, clean, huge lows, growly mids, and a clear top end. it sounds EXACTLY like the bass sounds acoustically.

    awesome, man! everytime i try out a musicman i think "this bass is really cool, but if i got it, i'd love it for a while but get tired of it." the feeling i get from a good warwick is pure gold. i gotta have that growl.
