Electronics

The Thumb models are equipped with active MEC J-Style pickups, providing that unique Warwick tone that has been heard on countless records. They deliver plenty of punch and clarity, ensuring that you will cut through onstage or when laying down tracks in the studio. Active 2-Band electronics give you great control over your sound, making this a very versatile bass that can be used for a variety of styles. The electronics have also been adjusted to handle the extended 5-string range – so you can be sure that your low end will rumble with plenty of attitude!

The Thumb models feature a smooth and ergonomic body shape, not getting in your way so you can play comfortably for hours. The ovangkol body is joined with a bolt-on ovangkol neck, delivering a snappy attack and giving excellent projection to notes. The Wenge fretboard gives a classy-look to the instrument, and feels great under the fingers.

Stuff About Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Stuff About Electric Bass Guitars

Electric bass guitars provide the low-end foundation that supports rhythm, harmony, and groove within a band. Designed for clarity, punch, and control, they translate string vibration into a focused, amplified signal that locks in with drums and drives the music forward. Different scale lengths, pickup configurations, and electronics influence feel and tone, from deep, rounded lows to tight, articulate attack. Whether used for simple supportive lines or more expressive playing, electric bass guitars are essential for shaping the feel and energy of a track.
