Manufacturer's Description for Warwick Corvette Taranis Electric Bass (with Gig Bag)

Taranis Bass
Low B on a 4 string
The Sound of Wood
BEAD

In Celtic mythology Taranis was the God of Thunder who was worshiped in Gaul and Britain. Taranis is also the name of a thunderous Warwick bass that is worshiped by bassists who want a powerful tone and a dramatic presence.

For many years players from all over the world would order custom 4-string Warwicks that were tuned (from low to high) B, E, A, and D. So, the Taranis 4-string comes standard with that same tuning. (The 5-string Taranis is tuned B, E, A, D and G.) The passive MEC MM and SC pickups deliver a guttural tone that is both in your face and present in the mix. This beast is not delicate at all.

Another cool feature about the Taranis is its finish. The Swamp Ash body is lightly sandblasted to remove the softest parts of the wood. This process creates a killer texture and appearance that highlights the grain. You have to see it in person to appreciate the visual impact of this unique Warwick finish.

The Taranis is a great bass for the player who wants power and glory without compromises!

Warwick Construction
Warwick bass guitars are a unique synthesis of craftsmanship and technology. No other basses -- indeed few instruments of any kind -- are designed and manufactured with such diligent attention to detail. Their designs are classical without being adventurous. The neck-through body construction is achieved through a specialized and elaborate construction process ensuring that the through neck is invisible from the front. The bridge, tailpiece and pickups are fitted to the same substantial solid piece of wood -- not just to a veneer. All of which contributes to the rich sound and stability of the finished instrument. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Warwick products.
