Description

The essentials to know about the Warwick RockBass 4-string active electric bass (2024 edition)

  • Accessible Warwick "made in Germany" spirit: design, ergonomics, and sonic DNA inspired by the brand's classic models.
  • Active MEC "Dynamic Correction" J pickup configuration: precise attack, modern definition, and excellent clarity in a band setting.
  • RockBass active electronics with 2-band EQ (Bass/Treble): quick sound adjustments on stage or in the studio.
  • Warwick playing comfort: Just a Nut III nut, bolt-on neck, and in-house hardware (2-piece bridge, Warwick machine heads).

A 2024 RockBass: the update of an essential range

For 2024, the RockBass range gets a facelift with a simple idea: offer basses inspired by Warwick's iconic models at a more accessible price, without giving up the hallmarks that built the brand's reputation. Here we find the Warwick philosophy: luthiery designed for stability, solid hardware, and electronics focused on efficiency, for a reliable everyday instrument.

For which bassist and in which styles?

This RockBass is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists seeking true versatility, as well as experienced musicians looking for a robust and high-performing workhorse bass. The dual J-style pickups and active EQ make it comfortable in pop, funk, rock, variety, gospel, and contemporary music, with a tone that can remain round and warm or become more punchy and incisive.

The sound

The alder body provides a well-balanced tone: present lows, clear mids, and a top end that is never harsh-ideal for sitting well in the mix. The bolt-on 3-piece maple and ekanga neck enhances attack precision and stability, while the Tigerstrip Ebony fingerboard promotes quick response, good definition, and a clean grain.

The two MEC "Dynamic Correction" active J pickups cover a wide palette: neck pickup for a generous low end, bridge pickup for definition and bite, or both for a balanced and versatile sound. The Volume / Balance / Treble / Bass controls allow immediate tone shaping (rounder, brighter, more modern), whether you play fingerstyle, with a pick, or slap.

Recommended compatible accessories

To maintain the original feel and tension, a set of Warwick Red Strings .045-.105 is a perfectly suited choice. The bass comes with a Student Line RockBag RB 20515 B/PLUS gig bag, convenient for transport and rehearsals.
