A Warwick Spirit Designed for Today's Musician
This RockBass incorporates hallmark Warwick features: lutherie focused on efficiency, in-house hardware, and a modern approach to the 5-string bass. With its glossy "Solid Black" finish and complete equipment (including Warwick Security locks strap locks), it stands as a reliable instrument for rehearsing, recording, and performing on stage without hassle.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
Thanks to the 32" / 812.8 mm scale length, this 5-string electric bass is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate bassists who want access to the low register without the sometimes demanding feel of a long scale. Its pair of J-style pickups and active preamp make it comfortable in pop, rock, funk, gospel, and modern metal, delivering clear articulation for fast lines as well as deep grooves.
Sound
The alder body offers a natural balance: present lows, clear mids, and a consistent response, perfect for fitting into the mix. The 3-piece maple and ekanga neck promotes stability and a sharp attack, while the wenge fingerboard enhances precision and definition, especially on the B string. On the electronics side, the two MEC "Dynamic Correction" J active pickups provide a tight, modern sound, and the Bass / Treble EQ allows quick shifts from a broad, round low end to a snappy slap tone, while maintaining dynamic control thanks to the blend (balance) between pickups.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance exactly, opt for a set of Warwick Red Strings .045-.135 (same gauge). Since the bass is delivered with the Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag, replacing it with an identical model ensures a properly sized fit.
