Warwick RB Corvette $$ LH 4 NB TS

Warwick has been one of Germany's top specialists in electric basses for decades, and this expertise is written all over the Warwick RB Corvette $$ 4. In fact, the name alone almost says it all: RB stands for RockBass, and everything about the Corvette is geared toward Rock in all its forms – starting with the choice of woods and extending to the pickups and electronics. When an instrument like this is designed for Rock and Metal from the ground up, the inevitable result is a combination of authentic looks, effortless playability, and maximum punch. That punch is primarily delivered by the Corvette's bolt-on maple neck and duo of MEC humbuckers, which together with the active two-band electronics also offer plenty of flexibility in terms of sound. Given its range of features and reliable build quality, the Warwick RB Corvette LH is a bass that offers left-handed players an outstanding price-performance ratio.

Many of the modern sub-genres of Metal place very different demands on an instrument than was the case in the '80s and '90s. Virtuosic playing, switching between techniques, and ultra-low drop tunings are the norm now, not the exception – and to rise to these challenges, left-handed players need an instrument that's up to the task. The Warwick RockBass Corvette $$ 4 delivers exactly what players expect from a bass designed for contemporary heavy styles, with a flat fingerboard, slim nut width, and hard-wearing frets providing the foundation for precision and speed. And its tonal capabilities tell the same story: The high output and pronounced mids are ideal for pushing overdrive and distortion pedals to their limits, while the dual MEC humbuckers offer not only a powerful low end, but also clarity and definition, even in the deepest registers. And for anyone who wants to go even lower, Warwick also offers a five-string version of the Corvette.
