Product Description
German company Warwick are world famous for their incredible modern bass guitars. As one of the leading bass manufacturers, they are known to set the standard required year upon year for what is possible for premium bass guitar design.
This 5-string Warwick GPS Thumb bass features a combo of humbucking & single-coil pickups, placed near the bridge to harness some extra treble and bite. This also allows for more freedom when using slapping techniques, which may be why they’re called “Thumb” basses! The sound of their pickups can be controlled via an onboard 2-band EQ, letting players tame any excessive highs or lows.
Key Features
- Stable Tuning Stability - The combination of the sturdy Wenge neck, expert Warwick build-quality & hardware all contribute towards stunning tuning stability.
- Tonewoods - The highest grade tonewoods have been chosen by hand to create this simply stunning instrument.
- Bartolini Pickups - With punchy, highly versatile sounds, an MM-style humbucker & J-bass pickup combo makes this bass great for playing 'the hard way' - slap & the odd bass solo will stand right out.
- Active Mec 2-Way Electronics - The Active Mec 2-Way control system gives you precise control, while still keeping simplicity so you are in command at all times.
Tonewoods
The Flamed Walnut body top, and Walnut back create a balanced, warm tone with good sustain, clear treble notes, and a noticeable midrange presence due to the density of the wood. The Wenge neck provides an exceptional stability due to its hardness. Wenge delivers a focused midrange tone with good clarity & a fast playing feel.
Thanks to the Ebony fretboard, you can expect an exceptionally smooth playing surface, bright and articulate tone, excellent sustain, and resistance to wear and tear due to its extremely hard wood density.
