Warwick - Thumb Bolt-On LTD 2006 'Dirty Blonde'

Thumb Bolt-On LTD 2006 'Dirty Blonde'

The highlight of the 2006 Winter NAMM Show was definitely the unveiling of the new limited edition bass, the Thumb BO LTD 2006 'Dirty Blonde.' Built off of the incredibly popular Thumb Bolt-on model, the Dirty Blonde has some unique and ground-breaking features. Most notably, this beautiful instrument has a Birdseye Poplar top over a hand-selected US Swamp Ash back, with a thin ekanga veneer in-between. Birdseye poplar is a very distinctive tone wood that has warm, defined lows and snappy highs. Also, this killer bass features an active MEC Twin J pickup in the bridge position and an active MEC P-style pickup in the neck position. MEC even created a special P-style pickup for the 5-string Dirty Blonde, which is wide enough to handle the 5-string spacing. You will not believe the great tones these pickups and the onboard active MEC 3-band preamp can generate! To top off this amazing bass, Warwick used special sea gull inlays - an artistic finish to a masterpiece of an instrument.
