An acoustic bass from the specialists

Warwick Alien Deluxe 4 Fretless Natural Transparent, acoustic bass guitar

Warwick has been one of Germany's go-to names for all things low-end for decades nows, and that expertise shines through once again in the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe 4 Fretless Natural acoustic bass. Premium woods with a transparent finish give this fine fretless instrument both its elegant appearance and its expressive sound. And when needed, that sound can be amplified and shaped to taste thanks to the onboard pickup and built-in preamp. The 32" scale length on the Deluxe FL strikes a sweet spot between power and playability, and some other highlights – besides the fretless ebony fingerboard – include the high-end hardware, a handy thumb rest, a generous cutaway, and a gig bag with tools included. Considering the features and build quality, the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe acoustic bass offers excellent value for money.

Exquisite ingredients

The top of an acoustic instrument plays an absolutely crucial role in giving it a balanced sound – so on the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe 4 Fretless, it's made from solid AA sitka spruce, a top-tier choice. The neck is crafted from mahogany, while the back and sides are made from walnut, a genuinely unusual and luxurious selection, especially at this price point. The ebony fingerboard is unsullied by any fretlines or other elements; it's complemented by a bridge and thumb rest made from wenge, a visually very similar wood, for a consistent look and feel. The Alien Deluxe 4 features a slightly shorter 32" scale length and a nut width of 38.5mm, making it especially easy on the hands. High-quality chrome hardware, produced in-house, includes Warwick's signature adjustable nut and security locks system. And if this acoustic Alien's volume isn't quite enough, the built-in Sonicore piezo pickup and Sonitone preamp, both from Fishman, will be happy to help.

From the stage to the garden to the beach

Since the late '90s at the very latest, an acoustic or unplugged set has been an essential part of every band's repertoire. Of course, this means everyone – including the bass player – needs to bring along the right kind of instrument, one that looks the part and sounds it too. Luckily, the Alien Deluxe passes these tests with flying colours, with its fretless fingerboard giving the instrument's sound a certain lyrical 'je ne sais quoi'. But it's not just built for the stage – it's also perfect for backyard acoustic sessions or simply jamming on the beach, with no need for power outlets for amplification. Thanks to its relatively compact size, the Alien acoustic bass also makes a great travelling companion. With its attractive pricing and, more to the point, excellent value for money, the Warwick RB Alien Deluxe 4 Fretless is also a strong contender for consideration as an ambitious bassist's second or third instrument – certainly, it'll add something unique and useful to any collection.
