spacecowboy Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Just picked up my new *old* '89 Warwick Thumb NT5 from Gary Williams today *you aint getting it back bro!!! * its absolutely incredible! it blew my mind at band practice tonight, such an incredible sound and feel with a perfect players neck, I'm in love. Thought i would show it to you all posing with her sister an '88 Warwick Streamer Stage II NT4. Enjoy! Edited October 19, 2009 by spacecowboy Quote
GreeneKing Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Very nice. How does the Thumb balance? Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Wonderful! Both with Schaller machine heads - I had a Thumb Custom built for me in '90 and it came with gotohs (which are fine!) but I was upset that it did not have Schallers!!! Sad eh?

Nick (author of `Machine Head and Tuner Monthly')[/quote] Yeah the Schallers are lovelly, i never ever have to tune my Stage II up it just stays put constantly, I'm expecting the same with my new Thumb as the tuners are a lot stiffer on this model.

spacecowboy Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Sorry it would have seemed that my bandwidth on my old image server had ran out! Seems like these are popular things to look at over at the Warwick forum! Re Linked so the images should now appear! Quote
Dread Bass Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 They are two very nice basses right there. Quote
