Warwick Alien, 5-String - Natural Transparent Satin

Introduction: The Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe 5 takes the acoustic bass experience to a new level. This is the instrument for bassists who demand the full range of a 5-string, but who also refuse to compromise on acoustic volume and tone. With its extra deep body of 120 mm, this is one of the few acoustic 5-strings that truly delivers.

The Power to Carry a 5-String: The biggest challenge with an acoustic 5-string is getting the deep B-string to sound defined and powerful. The Deluxe model's deep resonant body ensures that the lowest frequencies have enough room to develop. The result is a B-string that is tight, audible, and organic. Just like its 4-string sibling, this bass has enough natural volume for you to participate in acoustic jam sessions and play alongside guitars without the need for an amplifier.

Key Features:

• Full body depth (120 mm): Designed for maximum projection. Walnut in the back and sides provides a warm and earthy tone that complements the extended range.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Top: Provides the necessary crispness and clarity needed for every note to stand out, even in the deepest parts.
• Fishman Presys Electronics: Equipped with Fishman Presys Onboard Preamp and Sonicore piezo-pickup. This system is calibrated to capture the full breadth of the range, from the deepest B to the brightest G.
• Wenge Fretboard: Warwick's preferred wood for fretboards provides a fantastic playing feel and contributes to the instrument's quick response.

Full Freedom of Choice: We have ensured a complete selection of this model, so no bassist is left out:

• Fretted or Fretless: Choose fretted for maximum precision, or opt for the fretless version for a soft, double-bass-like character that truly sings in the deep frequencies.
• Right- and Left-handed: As a Warwick specialist, we naturally offer both models in both right- and left-handed versions to the same professional standard.

Specifications:

• Top: Solid Sitka Spruce
• Sides and back: Walnut
• Neck: Mahogany with Wenge fretboard
• Scale: 34" long scale
• Electronics: Fishman Presys / Sonicore Piezo
• Finish: Natural Transparent Satin

Protection on the Road – Solid Gigbag Included: An acoustic bass of this size requires good protection. Therefore, the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe comes complete with a padded RockBag® Student Line Gigbag. This is specially adapted to the Alien model's unique shape, so you can safely take your bass to practice, gigs, or travel.
