You can get therapy.

Best sounding acoustic bass I've heard.

Gee, it sounded great plugged in but when you went acoustic with it... wow!

Goddamn i wish i wasn't broke....

i love warwick

my god, I want one of these...

Another great vid for an awesome bass.

I really liked it! Loved the looks and the sound...Especially when totally acoustic.. Bass that kills \m/

This bass is making my mouth water...

Someday I'll have once of these. :)

what a beautiful bass

Got damn that is a stunning sound... Just effing lovely

me wanna! that acoustic groove was really groovy

Same for me GREAT B-String!

Just got one this week for $50 ,all it needs is tuners ,nut ,a string peg ,trussrod cover ,pickup ,and input strap button. This may sound like a lot , but I had some parts already. So I've only had to put another $50 into it. Condition is excellent. Should have it finished in about a month once the order ships in !!!.

@@Akbar-nc6hz ...one of my local music stores will "part out" items that are either broken or slightly damaged ,or they will simply strip items for parts they need ,and sell the left overs. In the past I have purchased drum shells for 5 bux ,warwick bass necks for 25 bux ,hardshell cases for 10 bux, and of course this bass for 50 bux. I also got a badly damaged banjo for 15 bux ,which I restored for about 35 bux. They are very good to me ,and will offer me anything that they can't be bothered to work on...and i'm very grateful indeed.

great soft sound!!!

Great Sound!!

It should be a crime to amplify this thing; the acoustic tone is 1million times growlier and it STILL keeps that solid punch that you get when plugged in. SERIOUS G.A.S.!

Hi there! Sorry, but with this assumption, you're mistaken. Both are made from wood. Besides, what benefit would we have of stating wrong facts which any customer can check as soon as he/she picks up our instruments?

i love it

Fantastic!!!!

me encanta :D

Nice, the first preset sounds so Motown!. BTW I didn't know anybody made 6 string acoustic basses

I need one of these. Too expensive but would really sound good on my current recording sessions!

i need this!

Love the sound of this bass. was wondering though can i tune it to BEADGB. you mentioned it was tuned to low C. Ive never been a fan of doing that so if i tune it lower will it loose any of that amazing tone.

a rock bass version of this is in existence?

You should try the half round strings on it, will get rid of the fret buzz a ton

about the strings spacing at the bridge? How much please? thanks

que som perfeito !

Funny that they always claim that THIS is the sound coming out of their Warwick cabs... that's such a big smelly lie, it's so obviously a DI signal

***** True, but having an amp in the background, turned up with all the lights on and a plugged input cable, is a bit misleading in my opinion.

@bolttracks

***** exactly. The phrase "presented with" isn't gonna make many people aware of the fact they're hearing a direct signal. In fact it could still imply that the amp is part of the sound they're hearing. You can excuse your way out of this any way you want but I still think that this type of marketing is misleading and dishonest. You could've just put the amp out of frame if you want to avoid the player wearing headphones. How's that for a change?

If only it didn’t cost 1000 bloody dollars, I would buy one

Does anyone know where to buy this bass ? There seems to be a ban on having it shipped because of an endangered exotic wood act !!! I really wanted this !

Fantastic instrument! I have the Rockbass Alien Deluxe 6 and it also kicks ass. Try one if you get an opportunity.

Wow :O

Amazing bass! One question: can this bass' volume compete with an acoustic guitar if totally unplugged? Thanks a lot!

No, I have tried them in a store, and compared to other brands they are towards the quiet end of the spectrum. I have an acoustic bass of another brand, which I've found to be the loudest of any brand I have tried (most of them), and even that doesn't really compete. That said, I am considering buying an alien anyway, as they have a fretless model, plus I quite like the aesthetics.

Actually, a month later, and I realised that I tried the Rockbass version, whereas the one in this vid is the top of the line model. Its possible that it is a different story with this one. Apologies for my confusion.

Don't count on it, a bass would need a very, very large body to produce the same volume. I love acoustic basses, but there's a good reason they're almost always semi-acoustic. Great for practising on the couch, not so much for playing unamplified. I'm sure this one projects at decent volume, but not likely enough for you to play along with an acoustic guitar.

Bro where is Andy's album all these licks are beautiful

The 'B'goes much quieter in all the examples...?

I want it

What is the song at 1:18 ? I was randomly playing on my bass and I figured it out because I had it stuck in my head for the longest time. It took me hours lol.

So I just bought one of these and cant find a gig bag or even a hard case that fits it, even the Warwick cases dont fit. Does anyone have suggestions?

I just got my brand new ,top of the line Alien bass and I am quite upset with it. The output jack is totally loose and you need a certain tool to tighten it. The frets are cutting my fingers and the feedback ,shakes the hell out of the bass.I tried setting the bass exactly how Andy has his set in the video and ,I can't get near that volume ,without the bass shaking. I was going to take it to a service center ,but I am so turned off by this ,that I don't want it. I hope Warwick stands by their product and replaces it .You know that feeling when ,you get something new and it's defective and it just sickens you ,because you were so excited waiting for it and the it is F'ed up. I will keep you advised . I would be happy if they sent me a new one ,set up and ready to go out of the box ,with a return label ,so I could send this one back.

This is a higher end instrument designed by Germans. They are sacrificing quality by outsourcing to a country that has a terrible reputation for workmanship to save a few dollars. Would you like to spend $1800 on a Gibson Les Paul that was made in China? I wouldn't !

What matters is you're happy with your investment. My current and only bass I'm using now is an Ibanez sr5006e made in their Japan location. I don't think I'll ever buy another bass : ) I'm surprised to hear that about a genuine Les Paul..

I don't think it sounds good at all plugged in. It's better with the mic? . It sounds like static with the pick up.

Tune it B E A D F# B and you have standard guitar shapes and scales a fourth down. At the fifth fret you get EADGBE just like a guitar but an octave lower.

But does it djent?

damn that's sexy and i want one, but i have no money, cant play a 6 for shit, hate the feel of acoustic bodies, and also play custom string guages they wont have in bronze.

It's basically just a high gauge acoustic guitar...
