Manufacturer's Description:

The Warwick RockBass Streamer Standard is a high-quality, well-crafted bass guitar designed for musicians seeking both performance and aesthetic appeal. Below is a detailed breakdown of its features:

Body & Construction

• Body Material: The 2-piece solid Carolina Pine body offers a rich and resonant tone, with a slightly warmer, more organic sound than heavier woods. This particular choice of pine adds a unique character to the instrument while maintaining clarity and punch.
• Neck: The bass features a 4-piece laminated Maple neck with black veneer stripes for added aesthetic appeal. This construction gives the neck excellent stability and strength. Additionally, two carbon bars are embedded in the neck from the 12th to the 24th fret, enhancing the neck's rigidity and resistance to warping, which is especially important for long-term tuning stability.
• Neck Joint: The bolt-on neck construction allows for easier maintenance and repair while still delivering a solid, resonant connection between the neck and body.

Fingerboard & Frets

• Fingerboard: Made of Wenge, a dense and durable wood known for its smooth playing surface and clear tonal properties, this fingerboard enhances both the tactile feel and the tonal characteristics of the instrument.
• Radius & Frets: The fingerboard has a 26" radius, ideal for playing fast runs and chords comfortably. It is equipped with 24 jumbo titanium-brass alloy frets that have a width of 2.9 mm and a height of 1.4 mm, providing long-lasting durability and smooth playability.
• Fret Technology: Ball end frets with IFT (Invisible Fret Technology) are used for a clean, smooth fret edge, enhancing playability and comfort without the risk of fret wear.

Nut & Electronics

• Nut: The Warwick Just-A-Nut III Tedur is a high-quality nut made of durable material for increased tuning stability. The nut width is 45.0 mm (1.8"), providing a comfortable playing experience for most hand sizes.
• Pickups: The passive MEC Vintage Humbucker pickups deliver a warm, balanced tone suitable for a wide range of playing styles. These pickups are mounted in threaded inserts, making them easier to adjust and secure.
• Electronics: The bass features active 2-band electronics, giving players control over their tonal palette with Volume, Balance, Treble, and Bass controls. This allows for precise adjustments to tailor the sound to any playing situation.

Shielding & Access

• Shielding: The instrument includes a copper-shielded electronic compartment and nickel graphite shielded pickup routings, which help reduce electromagnetic interference and noise, ensuring clean signal output.
• Quick Access: The Warwick quick access e-compartment cover allows for easy adjustments and modifications without the need for tools.

Hardware & Bridge

• Machine Heads: Equipped with Warwick machine heads, the bass ensures smooth and accurate tuning, maintaining stable pitch even under heavy playing conditions.
• Bridge: The 2-piece Warwick bridge provides excellent string stability and resonance, contributing to the instrument’s overall tonal quality. The string spacing is set at 16.5 mm (21/32"), with a distance from the B to G string of 66 mm (2 19/32").
• Security: For added security, the bass comes with Warwick Security Locks, ensuring that the strap remains securely attached during intense playing sessions.

Finish & Aesthetics

• The bass is finished in a Nirvana Black Transparent Satin, offering a sleek and sophisticated look that complements its tonal qualities. The chrome hardware adds to the overall elegant appearance, making the bass not only sound great but look stunning as well.

Other Features

• Strings: The bass comes strung with Warwick RED Strings (.045"-.135"), which are known for their bright, punchy tone and long lifespan.
• Weight: Weighing in at approximately 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs.), this bass strikes a balance between being lightweight enough for comfort yet substantial enough to offer a full, resonant tone.
• Accessories: Included with the bass is a Rockbag Student Line Plus gig bag (RB 20515 B/PLUS) for protection during transport, as well as a set of tools (hex key truss rod tool, 2 x Allen keys, and a microfiber cleaning cloth) for maintenance and setup.
