Description

Essential information about the Warwick RockBass 5-string electric bass (2024 series)



  • Warwick spirit at an accessible price: design, ergonomics, and sonic DNA inspired by the brand's iconic models.

  • Versatile 5-string configuration: solid low end and a usable B string for rock, funk, pop, and metal.

  • MEC pickups in "Music Man" style + RockBass active preamp: clear attack, definition, and simple, effective EQ.

  • Complete Warwick hardware: 2-piece bridge, Warwick tuners, and Warwick Security Locks strap locks.



A 2024 RockBass: the update of a cult range at Warwick


For 2024, the RockBass range is revamped with a clear approach: offering instruments inspired by Warwick's "big models" while remaining affordable. It features the aesthetics and attributes that have made the German brand famous, with a design intended for stage, rehearsal, and recording, without sacrificing Warwick's sonic identity.



For which bassists and styles?


This 5-string electric bass is aimed at intermediate bassists looking for a serious instrument, but it will also suit a motivated beginner who wants to start directly with a reliable 5-string. Thanks to its active electronics and "humbucker"-style pickups, it is comfortable in rock, funk, pop, R&B, and metal, with a low-end reserve ideal for modern tunings and low lines.



The sound


The ash body provides a lively response, firm lows, and good projection, while the wenge fingerboard enhances attack precision and clarity, especially useful on a 5-string. The MEC passive pickups in Music Man style deliver a punchy, dense, and articulated sound, with a present midrange that "cuts" through the mix. The RockBass active electronics, controlled by Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass, allow quick switching from a round and deep tone to a snapping slap, or a more aggressive grain for pick riffs, while keeping the B string tight and playable on the long scale.



Recommended compatible accessories


This bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag. For maintenance and replacement, you can stick with the original gauge Warwick Red Strings .045-.135, perfectly suited to the 5-string configuration and long scale.
