Warwick Bass Alien Standard 4 Solid Black Satin

RockBass 2024: Warwick DNA in a Redesigned Version

The Warwick RockBass range has been revamped for 2024 with a simple idea: to offer instruments inspired by the German brand's classics while preserving the core of what makes Warwick renowned (ergonomics, sonic identity, lutherie details, and hardware). This acoustic bass perfectly fits this philosophy: an instrument ready for the stage as well as home playing, with a refined finish and wood choices oriented towards clarity and presence.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

This 4-string acoustic bass suits both beginner bassists looking for a comfortable and reliable instrument, and intermediate players who want an acoustic capable of fitting into rehearsals (or amplified) without losing precision. The 32" / 812.8 mm scale length facilitates finger stretches and promotes relaxed playing. It is especially comfortable in pop, folk, variety, unplugged, and vocal-guitar accompaniment, with a clear response that keeps notes distinct.

Sound

The solid maple top delivers a crisp attack, plenty of definition, and a precise high end, ideal for distinguishing each fingered note. The agathis back and sides contribute to a balanced response, with a present low-midrange and consistent dynamics. The combination of mahogany neck and wenge fingerboard enhances stability and adds a slightly woody grain while maintaining responsiveness. Finally, the wenge bridge with bone saddle aids vibration transmission for natural sustain, while the Fishman Sonicore Pickup Soundhole system allows you to retain this articulation when plugged in.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and balance, use strings identical to those installed at the factory: Warwick RED Strings Bronze .045-.105. A gig bag is already included (RockBag Student Line RB 20520 B/PLUS), convenient for daily transport and protection.
