Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
With the Gnome series, Warwick offers a decidedly modern approach to bass amplification: maximum power and clarity in a format reduced to the essentials. The Gnome positions itself as the brand's ultra-portable head, designed for bassists who want to travel light without sacrificing real volume reserve or connectivity suited to current uses (DI, headphones). It is a "plug and play" solution that emphasizes transparency and efficiency while remaining flexible enough to adapt to both passive and active instruments.
Who This Amp Is For
The Warwick Gnome is aimed at bassists of all levels seeking a reliable, simple, and high-performance head. It is particularly suitable for those who alternate between rehearsals, small to medium venues, and studio sessions, and who want a quick setup: a bass, a cabinet, and you're ready to go. Thanks to its headphone output, it can also meet the needs of silent practice (warm-up, setup, set preparation).
Musically, its transparent character and power reserve make it an excellent choice for styles where clarity is paramount: pop, rock, funk, gospel, modern jazz, or even metal if you build your distortion via a pedal (overdrive, fuzz, preamp). Its EQ allows you to shift from a round, full low end to a more biting attack, depending on playing style and mix.

Questions frequently asked
What power does the Warwick Bass Gnome deliver depending on the speaker impedance?
The stated power reaches 200 W, with 130 W at 8 ohms. The speaker cabinet used must be matched to the amplifier's output impedance.
Is the Gnome head suitable for passive basses?
Its input impedance above 10 MOhms is optimized for passive pickups. It preserves the signal level and dynamics.
Is the Gnome's DI output affected by the EQ?
The balanced XLR DI output is post-EQ: the bass, mid, and treble settings are thus sent to the mixing console. A ground lift switch on the rear helps reduce hum caused by ground loops. The EQ provides ±15 dB correction on each band.
Can one play through headphones with this bass head?
A headphone output is integrated for silent practice, especially at home or in a dressing room.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Warwick Bass Gnome?
With dimensions of 170 x 118 x 45.5 mm and a weight of 960 g, this model features an ultra-portable format. The optional RBO-EPB-03 cover is compatible.
