not sure. u'll have to ask the distributor swee lee.

was wondering how would you position the right picking hand. as the acoutic bass body is thicker, does that mean the wrist would have to arch even more to a even more uncomfortable position?

or do you play this like a typical acoustic guitar, so you thumb your bass instead of picking using digits?

That looks amazing!

I've heard about the original warwick one.

Wonder how it sounds. Been looking for an acoustic bass. Been looking at an used Taylor AB1.

Fretted sounded like this.

i dun mind getting 1. i try an acoustic bass b4 but i use the thumb, finger , classical style.

i think it should be ok on the wrist with the right technique. i don't normally tuck my right elbow into my body. it's out keeping my wrist completely straight. i just feel that bending the right wrist hinders motion. but then i'm not exactly the smallest guy so it's not too hard getting my body all over the bass.

i wonder if they will have the huge mofo warwick neck.

ah i see, makes sense. i was a classical guitarist before picking up the bass.
