Bass guitars

Warwick offers more than 20 bass models ranging in price from $1000 to over $7,000 (2006 pricing). In 2002, Warwick introduced the RockBass line which offered a low-cost alternative to several of their more expensive lines (Corvette, Streamer, Fortress, and Vampyre). Warwick basses are renowned for their unique "growling" tone and prized for their use of high quality tonewoods and unorthodox aesthetics.


Notable players

Veteran bass players Jack Bruce and the late John Entwistle have played and endorsed Warwick basses and both players have had custom-made signature models made by Warwick. Bruce has the Jack Bruce Custom and Entwistle, the LTD Buzzard. In 2005, Warwick introduced the John Entwistle Stryker, a replica of his custom design bass used during his Who days. Warwick also produced the Jack Bruce Limited Edition "Cream Reunion" bass. This model was based on his original Gibson EB3 bass which he used during the recent Cream reunion shows.

The design is somewhat similar to his Wechter "Roman" bass, and he has taken to using these basses on tour as of 2006.
