The RockBass line has been revamped for 2024, embracing the codes that built the reputation of the German brand: recognizable lines, in-house hardware, and a performance-oriented approach. Designed as a serious entry point into the Warwick universe, this series maintains coherent technical choices (MEC pickups, Warwick 2-piece bridge, Just a Nut III nut) to deliver the feel and efficiency of high-end models at a more accessible price.
This 4-string electric bass is aimed at demanding beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a reliable instrument for rehearsing, recording, and performing live. Thanks to its J-style pickups and active preamp (bass/treble controls), it excels in rock, pop, funk, reggae, and modern metal, ranging from a warm, thick tone to a more aggressive, snappy attack depending on the EQ and pickup balance.
The alder body provides a natural balance: firm lows, present mids, and clean highs, facilitating placement in a mix. The bolt-on neck enhances attack and definition, ideal for articulated lines and ghost notes. On the electronics side, the two active MEC "Dynamic Correction" J pickups deliver a fast response and excellent precision, with real shaping potential via the Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass controls: perfect for switching from a vintage J-style tone to a more modern, tighter, and sharper sound without losing dynamics.
To maintain the same feel and tension, favor a set of 4-string strings with a gauge of .045-.105, such as the Warwick Red Strings .045-.105 fitted as standard.
