The Warwick Thumb NT 6-String Electric Bass is a masterfully crafted instrument, designed for the discerning bassist seeking both aesthetic allure and sonic excellence. Its arched Bubinga Pommelé body offers not only a striking visual presence but also contributes to its rich tonal depth. The "Hidden Neck" design, made from Wenge, provides a smooth playing experience, while the Tigerstripe ebony fingerboard adds a touch of elegance and durability.

The Just-A-Nut III system and 26 extra hard jumbo frets allow for precise intonation and effortless transitions.

This bass is anchored by a 2-piece Warwick 3D bridge and tailpiece, providing rock-solid tuning stability, while the Warwick machine heads and security locks ensure reliability during performances. An oil finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood and protects it, making this a truly timeless piece.

Throughout the music video for Auslander you can see him slapping on a 6 string thumb. It can also been seen in their 1993 Pinkpop performance of Love Rears It’s Ugly Head.
Jon talks about the basses he's playing at the moment around 0:24 into the video. 'Warwick NT 6 Thumb Standard'
??"Whatever is going on in the band it just fits right in there and sort of handles the way I play which is quite aggressive as well, so yeah… It’s what gives me my sound I guess."
Throughout this bass solo, P-Nut can be seen with a 6 string Thumb instead of his usual Streamer 5 strings. You can tell it’s a Thumb by the smaller body shape and the slanted double bridge pickups
