What Warwick has to say:
The Warwick Rockbass Corvette Bass is made from an Alder body and Maple neck with Ekanga Venner stripes making it lightweight, and allowing for a more comfortable and smooth play. With its active MEC J/J pickups and active 2-way electronics the Rockbass Corvette Basic produces a low end growl whilst offering a clear and resonating treble perfect for playing a wide selection of music. Warwick's Rockbass 4-String Corvette Bass is perfect for aspiring bassists looking for a bass with the capability to play a wide selection of music and the short scale is ideal for young musicians.
Active MEC J/J Pickups
The active J/J configured pickups by MEC allows for more control over the basses tone and produces a higher output so you can add more power to your amp. The setup offers great clarity when playing any genre of music, little sound variation between playing styles and reduces any unwanted noise and feedback.
