Listening to suggestions from players all over the world,Warwick recently released a new version of their popular Thumb Bolt-On model bass with a wider neck. This new, wider neck allows the player to have a 20mm string spacing, which is more comfortable for certain playing styles and techniques. In particular, those players who like to slap and pop the bass will find more room to perform special techniques like the “down/up thumb” technique (made popular by Victor Wooten). of the standard Thumb Bolt-On. You will notice, however, that the newest makes of Thumb Bolt-On basses have some of the most beautiful ovankol wood we have ever seen. The color is very deep and the grain is well figured. The retail price for the Thumb Bolt-On Wide Neck is only $2,279 for the 5-string version, and $2,479 for the 6-string version. (The wider neck is not available for the 4-string Thumb Bolt-On.) That is only a $180 up-charge for this special feature. Fans of the Warwick Streamer LX 5 and 6-string basses can also get the wide neck option for the same up-charge of $180.00.
