Warwick Thumb vs Yamaha BB434

Here we have the quick access truss rod cover and the Just-a-Nut 3 fully adjustable solid brass nut system. This enables us to raise and lower the act...

Now, I actually love the sound of the stock pickups, and I should note that the old pickups were something that I didn't love at first. I thought they...

I mean, it's definitely a slap tone as opposed to that sort of roundness that you get when you're playing fingerstyle. I can imagine that would really...

Terribly disappointing for a Japanese custom shop bass. The sound from the pickups were not anything spectacular. And they are the same pickups you can get in the $750 BB734a. I ended up returning the second one and got the Kingpin BFR stingray and made the right choice

I just got a warwick thumb, my 3rd warwick and i gotta say out of the 20+ basses i own this has to be my favorite, and i own everything from a squire j bass, to a fender american ultra p bass, and a couple of rickenbackers. Absolutely adore the thumb, the tones are incredible and the neck is super comfortable, only con i can think of, is MAN this thing is heavy.

Minimal fret noise which should we Ben get better once strings are broken in. The weight is very manageable, even light weight. The materials seem quality, not boutique but not cut rate either.

98 German Warwick Thumb BO. The playability of that bass (while sitting down - what an atrocious neck dive while on a strap) was out of this world. Finger, tap, slap, every sound just wanted to jump off the bass.

It has a three knob selector, volume, which is a push pull going from active to passive. This is a fader between the neck and bridge pickup. And then ...

The only issue with the bass is that the J pickup is a bit noisy, but if you roll it down 1/4, the noise goes away. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the bass. I had a very small issue with the shipping that the seller, GearTree, was very quick to resolve to my satisfaction. Superb customer service
