RockBass 2024: The Warwick Spirit, More Accessible


For 2024, the RockBass range is modernized while retaining Warwick's DNA: iconic shapes, refined ergonomics, and an immediate sonic personality. The Corvette SS 4 fits this philosophy by adopting the codes of high-end Corvettes, with a design aimed at offering Warwick style, comfort, and efficiency at a more affordable price point.



Who Is It For, and What Styles?


This 4-string electric bass is especially aimed at ambitious beginners and intermediate players who want a true stage/rehearsal bass, with attack headroom and easy-to-master active EQ. Its "modern and muscular" character makes it very comfortable in rock, funk, metal, and pop: it cuts through the mix easily and maintains excellent clarity, even when played with a pick.



Sound


The Corvette SS 4 combines an ash body, appreciated for its lively response and tight low-mids, with a wenge fingerboard that adds definition and a snappier attack grain. The MEC passive Music Man-style pickups deliver a dense, percussive, and direct sound, ideal for punchy lines and tight palm-muted riffs. The active RockBass electronics (Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble) allow quick sculpting of the low end to lock in the groove, or opening up the highs to gain presence and articulation depending on the amp and style.
