Warwick Bass Streamer Lx 5 Red Metallic

RockBass 2024: The Warwick Sound, the "Accessible" Philosophy

For 2024, the Warwick RockBass range is renewed while staying true to what makes the German brand's reputation: an instantly recognizable look, ergonomics designed for modern playing, and an effective sonic signature in a band setting. This "scaled-down from the high-end models" approach allows access to the Warwick universe without sacrificing the brand's key elements, whether in luthiery, hardware, or sonic DNA.

A 5-String Designed for Stage, Studio, and Low Tunings

With its 5 strings and long scale length, this RockBass targets intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a solid low B, but it is also well suited for progressing players who want a complete and durable instrument. It feels at home in rock, metal, funk, pop, and contemporary music styles whenever a bass that "holds the mix" and remains clear is needed.

Sound

The pair of passive MEC Dynamic Correction J pickups provides a very articulate foundation: clean lows, present mids, and precise highs, ideal for pick attacks as well as fingerstyle playing. The active RockBass electronics, controlled by Volume, Balance, Treble, and Bass, expand the tonal palette: bass boost for a massive low end, treble emphasis for more snap, or a more neutral setting for a natural foundation. The Warwick 2-piece bridge contributes to a clear response and a solid feel under the right hand, particularly appreciated on a 5-string.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To ensure compatibility, plan for a 5-string set of .045-.135 strings (same gauge as original) and a good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable to fully exploit the active electronics. The bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag for daily transport and protection.
