Jay has picked up a Warwick Thumb 5-string and an SWR head in the past week. Since he must be ashamed that he couldn't snag a busted-up Precision with flatwounds and some pics wedged under the pickguard, it's left to me to tell you about it.
Pictured on the upper left is the Thumb 5 that will soon belong to the Roan. This specimen includes the seldom-seen soapbars as well as the wide string-spacing. I'm sure this bass will provide Jay with hours of slappity fun.
In addition, the Roan seems set to acquire an SWR SM-400 head. This is a classic from the SWR lineup and will pair very well with the Thumb I imagine. The question that remains though is what kind of cabinet will be paired with the SM-400. What configuration will it be? 2x10? 4x10? 1x15? 1x18? Horn or no horn? Will it be an SWR to match the head, or maybe something else? Aguilar? Bag End? Euphonic Audio? Bergantino? Eden? Who knows?
Nonetheless, exciting times for the Roan...
Edit: It now appears that the Roan has selected an SWR 4X10 Goliath cabinet to go with his new head. There you have it, in a few weeks the Roan has gone from one Mexican Precision Special to a full gigable rig that would be acceptable in a wide range of semi-pro and pro settings. Way to go, Roan!
