Collector's Edition, Made in Germany
Designed as a collectible piece, this 5-string bass "made in Germany" condenses the craftsmanship of German luthiery into a limited series of only 100 units. The choice of swamp ash and marbled ebony emphasizes aesthetics and resonance, while Warwick hardware guarantees stage reliability.
For Whom and Which Styles
Ideal for intermediate to expert bassists seeking a precise and powerful 5-string. Its construction and passive MM pickups excel in rock, funk, pop, fusion, and modern metal, with a tight and clear low B string. Independent volume/tone controls per pickup allow fine-tuning from snapping slap to smooth fingerstyle.
Sound
The swamp ash provides attack, projection, and present mids, while the ebony top adds brightness and definition. The tiger ebony fingerboard and jumbo brass frets enhance articulation and sustain. The two MEC double-coil MM-type pickups, with passive electronics, deliver an organic and punchy tone. The bolt-on maple/ekanga neck combined with the Warwick 2-piece bridge ensures stability, intonation, and note length.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Comes with the Starline RockBag RB 20505 STARLINE gig bag. To maintain the original response and tension, we recommend a 5-string long scale string set .045-.135 compatible with 34". A clip-on tuner is perfectly suited to the headstock and simplifies tuning on stage.
