The Alien 5-String Acoustic-Electric Bass from Warwick comes from years of R&D from the genius bass builders at the headquarters in Germany.
Aptly named, the "Alien" is simply out of this world!
Crafted from premium tonewoods, it is the flagship of the Warwick acoustic basses. It delivers that low growl, that "Sound of Wood" tone which is characteristic of Warwick basses. The Alien’s hollow interior adds an unbelieveable level of percussiveness that adds an explosive punch to every hit. The satin finish on the Alien Bass’ neck makes it an absolute joy to play, complimented by its supremely comfortable neck shape. The 24 jumbo bronze frets are set and filed excellently. The factory setup keeps the action low and slinky. The Just-a-Nut III system enables adjusting (lowering) of the action as needed.
A Fishman piezo pickup drives the guitar’s amplification. The Fishman Prefix PlusT control panel offers a diverse range of EQ options, which assist in increasing tonal variety. Most noteworthy of all is the contour control, which can be used to provide a boost in a specific frequency, modifiable via a slider.
There is a watermark on the top back of this guitar's body. It's visible on the back picture. Doesn't affect playability.
