Warwick Bass Streamer Standard 5 Burgundy Red Satin

RockBass 2024: Warwick DNA, the ideal entry point into the brand

The RockBass range is renewed for 2024 with a clear approach: offering basses inspired by Warwick classics, retaining the attributes that made the German brand famous (ergonomics, sonic identity, and stage-ready finishes). This series is aimed at those who want a genuine Warwick bass for everyday use without stepping into premium series pricing.

For whom and in which styles?

This 5-string electric bass is particularly relevant for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking an extended playing range and a reliable instrument for rehearsals and stage. It suits styles where the low end must remain clear (modern rock, metal, funk, gospel, pop, RnB), while remaining versatile enough for more general contexts thanks to its pair of humbuckers and simple controls.

The sound

The Carolina pine body provides a lively response, with a sharp attack and good projection, while the maple/ekanga neck combination enhances stability and precision in the low spectrum (a real plus on a 5-string). The wenge fingerboard adds grain and definition, appreciated for maintaining articulation on the low B string. The vintage passive MEC humbuckers deliver a full, dense, and quiet sound (natural noise reduction thanks to the double-coil format), and the active RockBass electronics provide headroom and a sharper attack to cut through a busy mix. The long scale length helps maintain tight lows and consistent sustain across the neck.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original feel and balance, you can opt for a set of Warwick Red Strings .045-.135 (same gauge as factory-installed). The bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag.
