Look at this now availiable in germany... Warwick Thumb Bolt On Maple Machine. All Maple Bass (Neck, Fretboard, Flame Maple Body). MEC 2-Way Electronic. Seymour Duncan P.U. Five String: $1200 Four String: $1150 What do you think ? David
A midpriced Warwick that I might actually like! I wonder if it balances any better than the regular Thumb BO? I wonder how much like a Stingray the 5 stringer sounds?
Although I generally dislike maple unless it's a highly figured top with a sunburst finish over it there's something very attractive about that fiver. It'll definitely be a consideration if it comes to the USA.
