Warwick RockBass Corvette Basic 6-String Natural Transparent Satin (COMING SOON)
The Warwick RockBass Corvette Basic 6-String delivers a wide tonal range, from deep, growling lows to bright, crisp highs, thanks to the combination of MEC single-coil pickups and the active 2-band EQ. The bass produces a clear and punchy sound with plenty of articulation, making it versatile for various genres like jazz, metal, progressive rock, and funk. The active EQ allows players to dial in specific tones, while the push/pull active-passive option gives even more control for traditional or modern sounds.
Playability:
Despite being a 6-string bass, the neck is designed for comfort with its slim profile, making it easier for players to transition between strings. The 16.5mm string spacing offers room for fast and technical playing while maintaining accuracy. The wenge fingerboard adds to the bass's smoothness and speed, especially for players who use techniques like tapping, slapping, or fast runs.
Design and Aesthetic:
The Natural Transparent Satin finish enhances the natural beauty of the alder body while maintaining a minimalist, professional look. The satin finish is smooth to the touch and resistant to smudging or fingerprints, giving it a sleek, understated appearance.
Conclusion:
The Warwick RockBass Corvette Basic 6-String is a highly versatile bass, built for players who need extended range and flexibility. Its combination of high-quality construction, powerful electronics, and comfortable playability make it an excellent choice for advanced players looking for a reliable 6-string bass that can handle a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.
