Now here's a tough one.

Damn that is a hard one.

Stingray for looks, but the Thumb for tone. If you can handle weght, go with the stringray, but i played one a while back and the low B wasnt anything too crash hot. If you go with the thumb, get the bolt on. Thats just My opinion

 

Id get the Warwick.

 

I love the look of wood

 

Try both and decide for yourself, what we think you should get is irrelevant, afterall it will be your bass.

But if given the choice, I'd get the Warwick Neck-Thru.

Peace

 

WARWICK THUMB 5 NT!!!!!!! WARWICK THUMB 5 NT!!!!!!!

 

warwick nt 5

 

i prefer the SOUND of wood....

 

I'd go, and have gone, for the warwick Thumb bolt on.

I never really did like stringrays one the few occasions I tried them.

 

I could have sworn he said something about which bass look better. He must have edited it on me

 

warwick thumb 5 neck thru!!!!!!

 

houstin, we have a smart one

 

lol

 

"houstin, we have a smart one" - Define: irony

Kirby, I pretty much disagree with every thing you have said.

Both are good basses, trendiness says go warwick, I'd reccomend taking some time with both of them and see which one is more "you", very different animals.

 

i think the thumbs look silly but they sound nice. they are very different animals though. i like the feel of the ray better. if i were going to get a thumb it would be fretless but thats just me. hmmmmm get a stingray... the sound of metal!

 

They are basically the same. But the thumb i think is like curved which may be good or bad. Also my teacher had a stingray and he sold it becuase it was too heavy, but warwicks are also heavy. Your choice, but i favor the thumb NT

I've owned bot a '97 NT "wenge" Thumb and a '95 Stingray 5 in the past. Of the two I'd go with the Thumb in both looks and sound. Though if given an option similiar to the Stingray 5 (*cough* Sabre *cough*) I'd choose a G&L L-2500 (sweet)for both looks and sound.
