Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe Thinline Hybrid Acoustic-Electric Bass, 5-String (with Gig Bag)

No longer available at zZounds
Aptly named, the Alien acoustic bass is simply out of this world! The bass' narrow body is comfortable to play, while the NanoMag pickup offers beefy tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Solid spruce top Punchy, articulate and warm sound
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Wenge fretboard Hard wood with open grain for raw feel
Shadow NanoMag humbucking pickup Captures rich body acoustics and string harmonics

The RockBass Alien Deluxe Thinline Hybrid 5-String Acoustic-Electric Bass from Warwick comes from years of R&D from the genius bass builders at the headquarters in Germany. The bass features a more narrow body shape making it more comfortable for players when performing gigs. Also for the Alien bass design is the Shadow Nano-magnetic Pickup which is embedded within the wenge fretboard giving you the ultimate "Sound of Wood" tone that Warwick is famous for.

The more I play this bass, the more I like it! I have set it up all low as possible but the action is still just a little higher than I would like. I like low action. ... I haven’t shaved the saddle ( not much available to shave) due to concerns with the break angle. I’ve found that the tones I can get on this bass are expansive. Really nice pu/ electronics.Highly recommended despite the bridge/ pin problems.
