The Pro Series Teambuilt: The Warwick Spirit, Ready for Live
The Warwick Pro Series Teambuilt line embraces the codes that have shaped the brand's identity, with supervised German manufacturing and proven technical choices. It features precise machining (IFT) and in-house components (Just-A-Nut III, 2-piece bridge, Security Locks) that have made Warwick renowned: a reliable, coherent bass that feels immediately "pro" both in playability and in the mix.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This 5-string is aimed at intermediate to expert bassists seeking a fast response, a firm B string, and a tonal palette ranging from detailed fingerstyle to more percussive slap. Its incisive character works very well in funk, delivers solid lows in rock and modern metal, and remains clear for pop or pick playing, even in dense arrangements.
Sound
The swamp ash emphasizes definition and attack, with tight low-mids and precise highs. The wenge fingerboard enhances clarity and articulation, particularly useful on a 5-string when aiming to keep the low end clean. The passive MEC MM-Style pickup delivers a dense and present tone: in series, the sound becomes thicker and more focused, ideal for lines that need to push the mix; in parallel, the response opens up, with more air and a natural snap for slap and dynamics. The active MEC electronics support dynamics and projection, while the Just-A-Nut III + Warwick 2-piece bridge duo contributes to tuning stability, intonation, and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with its RockBag Starline gig bag, this bass is ideal with a 5-string long scale 34" string set in gauge .045-.135 (equivalent specification to the original Warwick Black Label strings) to maintain the intended tension and balance, especially on the B string.
