RockBass 2024: Warwick tradition updated
The RockBass range is revamped in 2024 with the goal of offering instruments inspired by Warwick's great classics while remaining within a more accessible budget. This version brings back the hallmarks that built the reputation of the German brand: bold lines, serious hardware, and a very direct approach to sound, ideal for bassists who want a high-performance 6-string without compromising Warwick identity.
Who is this 6-string for?
This 6-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking an extended range for modern playing, metal, hard rock, contemporary funk, or gospel/neo-soul contexts. The two active Soapbars provide a balanced response across all strings, practical for chords, tapping, or deep bass lines with excellent clarity.
The sound
The alder body offers a natural balance: present mids, firm lows, and clear highs, which works very well on a 6-string where definition is key. The combination of active MEC Soapbar pickups + RockBass active electronics enhances versatility: you can shift from a dense, round tone to a more incisive output by adjusting the Bass/Treble EQ. The Balance control allows fine-tuning of the mix placement, while the bolt-on neck promotes a sharp attack and quick response, ideal for precise and articulated playing.
Recommended compatible accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, a 6-string set of strings with gauge .025-.135 (Warwick Red Strings) is the safest choice to maintain the tension, balance, and response intended by the manufacturer.
