A Warwick Pro Series "Teambuilt": The Warwick Spirit with Added Consistency
Within the Warwick range, the Pro Series Teambuilt stands as the ideal bridge between access to "made in Germany" quality and the brand's historic DNA: choice of characterful woods (ovangkol/wenge) and in-house hardware. The result aims for manufacturing consistency and refined finishing, while maintaining the Warwick character sought after by many bassists on tour, in intensive rehearsals, or recording sessions.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
This 4-string electric bass is particularly aimed at intermediate to expert musicians who want a robust, precise instrument that is immediately usable in a band setting. The J/J pickup configuration and active 2-band EQ easily cover rock, funk, pop, fusion, and jazz: sharp attacks for articulated lines, effective balance in the mix, and 24 frets to explore higher melodic lines. The 38.5 mm nut also promotes comfort for slap and fast playing.
Sound
The pair of active MEC J/J pickups emphasizes definition and clarity: solid lows, clear highs, and especially present mids that deliver the Warwick tone signature. The ovangkol used for the body and neck enhances the sense of density and note sustain, while the wenge fingerboard provides a snappy attack and great precision on harmonics. With the MEC 2-band preamp, you can thicken the lows to anchor the groove or open the highs for more snap, all while maintaining a clean and punchy contour.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this 4-string with a 34" scale length, choose long scale 34" string sets, for example in gauges .045-.105 (nickel or stainless steel) depending on the desired feel and brightness. To secure the instrument, a strap compatible with Warwick Security Locks (or a set of Warwick Security Locks strap locks to install on your strap) fits the provided strap buttons. Finally, a clip-on chromatic tuner remains a universal, discreet, and practical choice for both stage and home use.
