Thumb NT

The Thumb bass is a favorite with the world's most successful and innovative bass players, both for its technology and for its tone. Its elegant and epoch-making design, ergonomically adapted to the human body, has spawned a host of imitators.

The Thumb bass is crafted from selected Bubinga Pommele, Ovangkol, and Tigerstripe Ebony hard woods. These attractive, exotic woods, combined with Warwick's unique construction techniques, maximize the instrument's stability and maintain remarkable overall compactness.

The Thumb bass packs a tremendous punch even on the lowest of bass notes, which remain powerful, dry and clear, combined with brilliant highs that never become obtrusive. Powerful and effective on-board equalization permits infinite variations of timbre and the perfect arrangement of the pickups ensures that your sound is always clear and balanced.
