The Pro Series Robert Trujillo signature bass. Trujillo is the current bass player in Metallica but he has also been part of such band as as Infectious Grooves or Suicidal Tendencies.
The specially shaped body is made from alderand the neck is made from maple and ekanga, a really solid and stable combination plus it has the classic Warwick oil finish which makes it a joy to play. The tigerstripe ebony fingerboard is just perfect.
Warwick’s frets are made using the same bronze that German church bells are made of so you can expect perfect sustain and resonance as well as extra life from them.
Sustain in this bass seems to be endless indeed. This is also thanks to the great tailpiece/bridge combination which allows the strings to have the perfect break angle at the bridge. Of course you can adjust the bridge in all directions: overall and individual height, intonation, string spacing, etc.
Small details such as pickup height adjustment have been redisgned and improved using metal inserts for the screws in the body of the bass meaning you can set the correct pickup height effortlessly. Cool.
Of course there’s a two way truss rod so you can tweak the neck yo suit your climate and/or playing style. The truss rod can be accessed easily.
Also electronics are easily serviced. No tool is needed to access the battery which by the way is found inside an ultra clean electronics area. Just use your fingernails to open the rear electronics plate. Cool. Conductive paint is used thoughout and just the right amount of wireand top notch parts. We love it.
Warwick’s trademark headstock is also ergonomic. All tuners are placed for the player to reach them easily. The adjustable nut (a classic feature from Warwick) is the final touch on a perfectly designed bass.
German made MEC electronics are used. The term here would be ultra quiet and effective. You get Volume, Balance, Bass Midrange and Treble. Of course you also get Passive operation by pulling the Volume pot.
Two great sounding active EMG Single Coil pickups are used inJJ arrangement. This is a great choice when you need lots of power and clarity.
Please bear in mind that this bass will always need a 9 Volt Battery to work beause of the active pickups.
This instrument comes with a Premium Line RockBag gigbag plus all the tools you need to set up the bass.
