Warwick RockBass Streamer LX 5-String – Metallic Red
When it comes to modern bass guitars, Warwick is an undisputed industry champion with a proven record of innovative and beautiful instruments. Offering all that and more at a player-friendly price, the Warwick RockBass Streamer LX 5-String – Metallic Red features choice tonewoods like carolina and wenge paired with J-stylepickups and a powerful preamp section, resulting in a formidable bass that’s incredibly versatile yet maintains Warwick’s signature style. Going the extra mile, Warwick luthiers also perform quality checks on every RockBass that’s shipped, so you can trust you’re getting a high-quality instrument that’s been inspected with care.
Modern tonewoods carved to perfection
The RockBass Streamer 5 LX features a stout resonant carolina body. Carolina delivers robust tone with exceptional durability and marathon sustain. A bolt-on maple neck with Warwick’s comfortable “C” profile ensures bold comfort for exploring the wenge fingerboard’s 24 frets. Wenge is part of Warwick’s signature style and sound. It makes for incredibly smooth playability that’s tough to get by any other means.
J-style pickups with preamp
The Warwick RockBass Streamer 5 LX offers the best of both worlds with a set of passive J-style pickups and an onboard RockBass active preamp. These versatile pickups put practically any bass tone imaginable at your fingertips; simply use the balance knob to dial in a core tone using either pickup (or both) and adjust the bass and treble EQ knobs as needed. And the RockBass preamp offers extra tonal heft and tone shaping, but if the preamp’s 9-volt battery happens to die during use, you can go right on playing through the passive pickups no trouble. This hybrid design is incredibly useful for gigging musicians who need a fail-proof instrument that’s stage-ready 24/7.
Warwick: a triumph of German engineering
Hans Peter Wilfer founded the family-owned Warwick brand in 1982. Since then, Warwick has spread globally with endorsers like John Entwistle of The Who, Adam Clayton of U2, Robert Trujillo of Metallica, Bootsy Collins, P-Nut of 311, and many more spanning any style you can imagine. Warwick takes pride in channeling inspiration from classic German instrument makers and marrying it with execution and production rooted in modern German engineering techniques. The RockBass series offers many of the company’s prized features in a more affordable package, all monitored carefully for quality control so that you — the player — get the best Warwick experience possible, even on a limited budget.
