About Warwick
Over the past few years, Warwick's popularity has grown to amazing new heights, and we now have players from all styles of music using our gear. As bands like Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, POD and Incubus achieved greater success and visibility, younger players began contacting us asking how they could get a Warwick bass. Unfortunately, most beginning bassists could not afford to buy a new Warwick. As an answer to this overwhelming demand, Warwick announces the new RockBass line of bass guitars!
This announcement comes after many years of hard work and preparation. Warwick wanted to make sure that any entry-level basses they produce live up to the high standards that Warwick players expect. Hans Peter Wilfer, the President and founder of Warwick, visited factories in several countries and had his best craftsmen analyze all the samples until they were able to unanimously agree on who would make these special instruments for them. The winner was found in China. There a Taiwanese father and son team runs their factory in the same philosophical style that Hans Peter and his father (Framus founder Fred Wilfer) ran their businesses. The fit between companies, like a good neck pocket, was perfect. Then Warwick invested over half a million dollars to establish a Far Eastern headquarters in Shanghai to properly manage and develop their new business relationships with China. Hans Peter could not be more proud of the new RockBass line and he is excited the Warwick sound will now be available to all players, everywhere.

"AWESOME BASS"
Feature:
Pick ups are great
Quality:
This is where mine doged out but i don't blame the bass it was my band directors falt. If your bass is taken from a hot humid enviroment and put on a truck driven 200 miles away into cold weather for a jazz show make sure to take the bass out of the truck even if it is locked up for the night OPEN IT and get the bass inside. mine now has a couple of chips due to it frezing and then used the next day in a warm theater
Value:
THIS IS THE BEST BASS FOR THE MONEY
Desirability:
If it ever got stolen i would almost definatly buy a new one, the only reason i wouldent would be if i had enough for a Warwick FNA Jazzman
Sound:
Fo rthe amount you pay you get twice the bass. The low B string on mine needed some adjusting because it would hit the fretts but now it is awesome. I play everything but mostly hard rock and jazz and it works perfect for it all.
Support:
never needed it
Overall:
GO play one and then grab a bass that cost twice as much or more and you'll see why I gave this one a 10!

"RIDICULOUS !!!"
Feature:
I think the bass is great, but I have the same complaint like another owner. The input nut is loose and it keeps loosening. Very cheap. But otherwise it is great.
Quality:
Great quality minus the cheap input nut.
Value:
SUPERB PRICE. This is a LOT of BASS for the price. Ridiculous.
Sound:
I think the sound is just ridiculous. It outplays the fender jazz and p-bass hands down. No matter what I play, it sounds great.
Support:
Never needed support
Overall:
BUY IT.
