The Starbass in RockBass Version: Warwick DNA Within Reach
The RockBass range offers instruments inspired by classic Warwick models, with a more accessible approach. This Starbass Medium Scale adopts the codes of the higher series (shapes, spirit, and functional choices), while retaining what defines the brand: performance-oriented luthiery, robust hardware, and ergonomics designed for long playing sessions.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
Thanks to its medium scale length and glued neck, this Starbass is suitable for both intermediate bassists and advanced musicians seeking a bass with a softer feel. It performs particularly well in rock, pop, soul, funk, and indie, with fingerstyle or pick playing, and a nice response in the low mids to carry the groove.
The Sound
The laminated maple body provides definition and a clear attack, while maintaining a "body"-type resonance that enhances the instrument's lively and organic character. The wenge fingerboard adds precision and bite in the mids, useful for keeping the bass clear in a mix. The two vintage passive MEC single-coil pickups emphasize dynamics and articulation: perfect for singing lines, with a palette ranging from warm roundness to a sharper snap depending on volume and tone balance. The RockBass active electronics expand the adjustment possibilities to quickly adapt the bass to the style and playing context.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag. To stay close to the original setup, a set of Warwick Red Strings .045-.105 is a coherent choice for replacement.
