Warwick Thumb vs Yamaha TRBX174

I have two Dingwall NG3s - 4 and 5 string and they are very balanced. Much moreso than my Warwick Thumb.

The 174s are actually a really great, great little beginner base in terms of what they've got going for them. So these are a perfect base for anyone w...

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...

It's as good as or better than some $900-$1,300 basses I've played. Definitely recommend. And I really don't understand why cheap basses are pushed on beginners: you're gonna need an instrument that makes you want to learn to play it. It's much harder to make a cheap bass sound good

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...

So just for example, I shall turn the first one down completely, so that's down ok, now turn it up, so that's giving you a bit more bottom end, so if ...

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.

Nice weight and well balanced. The neck is slightly chunky, with a nut width between a precision and jazz -. very comfortable. Very straight neck out of the box too

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.

This fixed the humming noise unless I max the treble out, in which case I can hear it just slightly again. To sum up, this bass gets 3.5 to 4 stars from me because of the minor imperfections, but it's so fun to play, that I couldn't bring myself to return it, or rate it any lower.

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 ...

We've got the TRB style headstock, which you may recognise from the flagship TRB range. We've got a newly sculpted body. In terms of electronics, fant...
