Essential Information About the Warwick RockBass 6-String Bass



  • Revisited RockBass 2024 Range: the Warwick spirit, a more accessible price, without compromising the brand's codes.

  • 6 strings with long scale 34" / 863.6 mm: ideal for going deep in the lows while maintaining definition.

  • Active electronics with MEC active Soapbar pickups and Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass controls for quick sound shaping.

  • Warwick hardware: 2-piece bridge, Warwick machine heads, and Warwick Security Locks for reliable stage stability.



RockBass 2024: Warwick DNA, More Accessible


The Warwick RockBass line is revamped for 2024 with a clear approach: offering instruments inspired by the brand's classics, preserving the lines, ergonomics, and musical attributes that built Warwick's reputation. This 6-string bass fits this philosophy, emphasizing versatility, stability, and a modern sonic identity, ready for both stage and studio.



For Which Bassists and Styles?


With its 6 strings and active preamp, this RockBass targets intermediate to advanced bassists looking to expand their range (deep lows and singing highs) without losing control. It excels in metal and modern rock (sharp attacks, solid lows), but also performs well in funk and fusion thanks to its simple and effective EQ and the blend control allowing a shift from precise to more enveloping tones.



The Sound


The alder body provides a natural balance between lows, mids, and highs, with a consistent response ideal for a versatile bass. The 3-piece maple and ekanga neck promotes attack and stability, while the wenge fingerboard adds a drier, more articulate feel, useful for maintaining clarity on a 6-string. The MEC active Soapbar pickups deliver a modern, compact, and defined sound, with firm lows and clean highs. The RockBass active electronics (Treble / Bass) allow brightening a slap, scooping for a contemporary tone, or thickening the lows for heavier tunings. The combination of the Warwick 2-piece bridge and Just a Nut III nut contributes to good note sustain and stable intonation.



Recommended Compatible Accessories


This bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag. To maintain the original feel and balance, a set of Warwick Red Strings in gauges .025-.135 is a coherent replacement.
