Born to rock – don't fret

Warwick RB Corvette $$ 5 FL NB TS, fretless five-string bass

Warwick has been one of Germany's top specialists in electric basses for decades, and this expertise is written all over the Warwick RB Corvette $$ 5. In fact, the name alone almost says it all: RB stands for RockBass, and everything about the Corvette is geared toward Rock in all its forms – starting with the choice of woods and extending to the pickups and electronics. When an instrument like this is designed for Rock and Metal from the ground up, the inevitable result is a combination of authentic looks, effortless playability, and maximum punch. That punch is primarily delivered by the Corvette's bolt-on maple neck and duo of MEC humbuckers, which together with the active two-band electronics also offer plenty of flexibility in terms of sound. Given its range of features and reliable build quality, the Warwick RB Corvette is also a bass that offers players an outstanding price-performance ratio.

Full of features for musical versatility

The ash body of the Warwick RockBass Corvette $$ 5 is paired with a bolt-on maple neck, a robust construction that gives the sound plenty of attack, while the deluxe ebony fingerboard harmonises with the body to produce a midrange that will cut through any mix with ease. True to what any bassist would expect from their modern Rock or Metal fretless five-string, the Corvette 5 $$ has a scale length that gives agile players access to two whole octaves on each string. The high-quality chrome hardware is made in-house and includes Warwick's signature two-piece bridge and tailpiece construction, an adjustable nut, and security locks. The two MEC humbuckers – the "double bucks" referred to as $$ in this model's name – are perfect for authentic Rock and Metal tones. A fretless bass, especially a five-string one, is just more flexible and versatile than its contemporaries; and for further fine-tuning the sound, the Corvette is equipped with active two-band electronics.

Rock and Metal in its DNA

The target audience for the RockBass Corvette $$ is clear – this is a bass for Rock and Metal players to fall in love with. It starts with the visuals: The Corvette's body, with its pronounced upper horn, makes no secret of its intentions, and the Nirvana Black Transparent Satin finish of this model is thrillingly dark. But it's not just a pretty face. It boasts all the features musicians expect from a modern fretless bass: The long-scale neck and easy-going action mean even the best bassists can show off their full repertoire of techniques, with slides a particular pleasure on the smooth ebony fingerboard. Same story when it comes to the sound, with two punchy humbuckers and flexible active electronics – the perfect way to make a Metal bass growl. With its attractive price tag, the Warwick RockBass Corvette is ideal as an upgrade for Rock and Metal players looking to move on from their first instrument – or, as a five-stringed fretless, as an unusual addition to an existing stable.

About Warwick

Based in Markneukirchen, Saxony, Warwick, initially a manufacturer of premium basses, is known today for providing a wide range of music equipment in all sectors of the industry. The product range extends from bass guitars, bass amplifiers and cabinets (in all price brackets), bass strings and accessories, to effects units. In addition to this core business, the Warwick Distribution sales company offers almost everything that bass players, whether of four, six or even more string instruments, could require. Among them are the instruments of the Framus brand, which are remarkable for their consistently high quality. In addition to its headquarters in Markneukirchen, Warwick also has locations in Nashville and Shanghai.

Ready for the demands of modern players

Many of the modern sub-genres of Metal place very different demands on an instrument than was the case in the '80s and '90s. Virtuosic playing, switching between techniques, and ultra-low drop tunings are the norm now, not the exception – and to rise to these challenges, bassists need an instrument that's up to the task. The Warwick RockBass Corvette $$ 5 Fretless delivers exactly what players expect from a five-string bass designed for contemporary heavy styles, with its low B string, flat fingerboard, slim nut width, and low action providing the foundation for precision and speed. And its tonal capabilities tell the same story: The high output and pronounced mids are ideal for pushing overdrive and distortion pedals to their limits, while the dual MEC humbuckers offer not only a powerful low end, but also clarity and definition, even in the very deepest registers.

Served with love!
